Stages of Demolition

At Demolition Contractors London, we follow the four critical steps in a demolition project:

1. Inspecting the building and the surrounding area.
2. Removing any hazardous materials present.
3. Developing a detailed demolition plan.
4. Implementing safety measures to protect everyone involved and impacted by the project.

Undertaking a Building Survey

If required, our demolition contractors at DCL will conduct a comprehensive structural engineers' building survey. We provide two types of asbestos inspections: a management assessment and a refurbishment and demolition assessment, which is required by law before demolition. During the building survey, we thoroughly inspect the construction materials, the building's prior use, and any hazardous substances present, including asbestos, toxic chemicals, wastewater, radioactive, flammable, or explosive materials. We also assess the condition of the drainage system and any potential issues related to flooding, water pollution, or erosion. We evaluate shared facilities with nearby buildings and the impact of dust, vibration, noise, and traffic on the immediate area.

Structural Survey

The structural survey will thoroughly examine:

The construction methods used for the building.

The structural integrity of the basement, underground vaults, and tanks.

The structural system design of the building.

The current condition of the building.

Remove Any Hazardous Materials Onsite

Any hazardous materials discovered at the location must be eliminated to protect everyone's well-being during the demolition and construction of the new building. If oil pollution, asbestos, or radioactive substances are found during the inspection, specialized firms must be hired to remove them from the premises securely. This may temporarily delay the planned start of the demolition services, but no work can commence until the clearance company approves the site.

Demolition Plans for Your Building

At DCL, we believe the demolition plan must be comprehensive and decisive. It will outline the building's location, structural features, and proximity to surrounding structures. The demolition method and sequence will be specified. Rigorous safety measures, such as covered scaffolding, walkways, and protective screens, will be implemented to safeguard the public. The plan will also detail the processes for handling debris after the demolition. The timeframe for the entire demolition project will be clearly defined.

Safety Measures for Demolition

Before demolition can start, we will prepare detailed plans, assess the risks, hold a site briefing to explain the demolition methods, and discuss the rules for the entire work site. Any flammable items not needed for demolition must be removed and stored securely. Fire and emergency procedures will be in place throughout the demolition project. Workers will face hazards like chemicals, dust, and heat, so appropriate measures will be implemented to provide good ventilation, reduce vibration and noise, maintain sanitation, and ensure medical and first aid support. All workers on-site must wear personal protective equipment.

Why Demolition is preferred instead of Renovation?

People often wonder why buildings are demolished instead of being renovated. Demolition is usually the better choice when a structure is no longer safe or sound or when the owners want to build something new in its place. Demolishing a building can be complicated and expensive, which makes some people question why it is more common than renovation. Several reasons exist that may make demolition the optimal choice:

Demolition can be a more cost-effective solution if the structure is significantly aged or in poor condition.

Demolition is often faster than renovation, extending over months or even years.

Demolition can be less disruptive than renovation, as it does not necessitate workers entering the home or office.

Demolition offers greater flexibility in design, as the new structure can be built from the ground up.

The decision to demolish or renovate a building depends on several factors, including the structure's age, state, and location, as well as the project's budget and timeline. In certain instances, demolition is the sole viable option; in others, it is the most efficient means of achieving the desired outcome.
