Always paired with full clearance and licensed disposal in the same job. ### Who it's for Homeowners renovating, landlords prepping for refit, builders sub-contracting strip-out work, property developers between purchase and works starting, and anyone with a derelict outbuilding that needs to go. ### When you need it Before a new build (garage, extension, replacement shed), during a kitchen or bathroom refit, before a loft or garage conversion, when an outbuilding is past its life, or when planning permission requires removal of an existing structure. ### Why professional Builders often quote demolition + disposal as separate line items, then mark up the skip. A combined demolition-and-clearance crew on the same day saves money and removes the coordination headache between trades. If you leave it ## What it costs to put this off. - A derelict outbuilding can trigger council nuisance notices if it becomes a vermin or anti-social-behaviour issue. - Pre-2000 garages and outbuildings can contain regulated materials — undisturbed they're stable; broken or DIY-handled they become an expensive specialist job with potential fines. - Half-demolished structures left mid-project for weeks become water-damaged and structurally unpredictable — re-quoting is then more expensive than starting from scratch. Common mistakes ## The traps to avoid. - Hiring a skip and DIY-ing the demolition — back injuries, falling masonry, accidental gas/electric strikes and unlicensed waste fines are all common outcomes. - Breaking ground without a proper pre-demolition survey — disturbing regulated materials triggers separate specialist work. - Knocking down a 'small extension' or conservatory without checking the building reg and party-wall implications. Our process ## How a typical light demolition runs. Same process every job — from your first call to the final tidy-up. 1. 01 ### Free site assessment We visit (or review your photos) and, once we've seen the job in person, give you a clear, written, fixed-price quote — no hourly clock, no surprise disposal fees. Once it's in writing, the price won't change. 2. 02 ### Pre-demolition survey Visual inspection for regulated materials, gas/electric/water service routes, party-wall touches and overhead cables. Anything notifiable is flagged and referred to the relevant specialist contractor before we proceed. 3. 03 ### Isolation & make-safe Gas, water and electricity isolated at supply — electrical and gas isolation arranged via a registered tradesperson where required. Glass, ceramics and brittle items removed first. PPE and dust suppression set up. 4. 04 ### Demolition & clearance Structure brought down section by section — no swing-ball, no surprises for neighbours. Materials sorted at point of breakdown — brick to crushed-aggregate recycling, timber to biomass, metal to scrap. 5. 05 ### Final tidy & sign-off Doors locked, keys returned, property left tidy. Where a property is being resold or re-let we can arrange cleaners to come in. SEPA waste transfer note available on request. Benefits ## What you actually get when you book SK. ### Demolition + clearance, one quote No 'plus skip', no 'plus disposal' — one fixed price for the whole job. ### Materials recycling on demolition waste Brick crushed, timber to biomass, metal to scrap — we recycle as much as possible and send as little as we can to landfill. ### Neighbour-friendly working No swing-ball, no dust clouds, no early-morning hammering. Quiet hand-demolition where the structure permits. ### Same-week turnaround Most light-demolition jobs slotted within 5–7 working days. Site left tidy and ready for the next trade. ### Fully insured for property damage We're fully insured against accidental damage to your house, fences, neighbour boundaries and drives. ### Specialist-aware pre-survey We identify any regulated materials on the pre-survey and refer to the correct specialist contractor before continuing — keeping your job compliant and on-budget. In detail ## Everything that falls under light demolition. ### Outbuilding & shed demolition Garden sheds, timber outbuildings, single-skin brick stores, prefab concrete garages and old greenhouses. Foundations broken out (optional) or left intact for re-use. Site left tidy and ready for new build, lawn or paving. ### Conservatory removal uPVC and aluminium conservatories dismantled, glass safely stacked for recycling, base broken out if required, and the existing house wall made good (weather-tight) ready for the next stage of works. Coordination with a local builder for permanent wall reinstatement available. ### Internal strip-outs Kitchen rip-outs (units, worktops, appliances, tiles), bathroom strip-outs (suite, tiles, flooring, partition walls), and removal of internal stud walls (subject to engineer sign-off on anything load-bearing — we don't take down structural walls without it). Common pre-refit job, often turned around in one day. ### Pre-survey & regulated-material protocol Pre-2000 garages, sheds and outbuildings sometimes contain regulated cement-based materials in roof sheets, downpipes or soffits. We identify these on the pre-survey, refer to the correct licensed specialist for removal, and return to finish the demolition and clearance once they've issued their clearance certificate. ### What we don't do (and why) We don't take down load-bearing walls without a structural engineer's calculation and sign-off (gable walls, supporting walls, chimney breasts). We don't carry out full-house demolition (planning, party-wall and method statements push this into a different licensing tier). On larger or developer jobs we coordinate with the principal contractor under CDM 2015. FAQ ## Light Demolition questions answered. Still unsure?
