Taken down and taken away

Demolition is only half the job. Once a structure is down, there is brick, timber, concrete and mixed waste to deal with, and on many jobs that is where the time and the cost run away. Absolute Waste & Hire brings both halves together. We carry out the demolition with our own plant, and because we are a licensed waste carrier, we clear the waste away ourselves. You deal with one team and one quote from start to finish.

Big or small, tell us what needs to come down and we will look at the best way to do it.

Our own machines on site

We run our own mini diggers and dumpers, so we are not waiting on a hire company to deliver before work can start. Having the right machines to hand is a big part of how we keep jobs moving and help you hit your deadlines.

Before any demolition starts

Every demolition needs some groundwork before the first machine moves. These are the points to settle before a job is booked:

  • Permissions. Some demolition needs planning permission or prior approval from the local council, and listed buildings and buildings in a conservation area have extra rules. If you are not sure, check with your council’s planning department first.
  • Asbestos. Buildings put up before 2000 may contain asbestos. Before a building is demolished, the law requires a refurbishment and demolition survey so that any asbestos is found and dealt with by a licensed specialist first.
  • Services. Gas, electricity and water supplies need to be disconnected and made safe by the supplier before a structure comes down.
  • Access and neighbours. How the machines get in, where the waste is loaded, and how to keep disruption to neighbours down.

Cleared up afterwards

When the structure is down, we load the waste and take it away, and leave the site clear for whatever comes next. As a licensed waste carrier we can carry it legally, which protects you under your own duty of care for the waste.

No deposit, pay on completion

Your demolition quote is free, there is no deposit, and you pay once the job is complete. There are no hidden fees. Call 07301 880665 or send the quote form with a description of what needs to come down, how big it is and how we get to it.

Demolition often leads straight into the next stage of a project. If you need ground cleared or levelled afterwards, our plant hire and waste clearance services are run by the same team.

Do I need permission to demolish a building?

It depends on the building. Some demolition needs planning permission or prior approval from your local council, and listed buildings and those in a conservation area have extra rules. Check with your council's planning department before booking.

What happens about asbestos?

Buildings put up before 2000 may contain asbestos. The law requires a refurbishment and demolition survey before demolition, and any asbestos found must be removed by a licensed specialist before the structure comes down.

Do you take the waste away as well?

Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier, so we clear the waste after demolition ourselves. One team, one quote.

Can you work to my deadline?

We will do our best to. We run our own machines, so there is no waiting around for plant to be delivered, and we are on hand 7 days a week. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

No. There is no deposit and you pay once the job is complete, with no hidden fees.
