Removal of walls and floors — Demolition company
Provide a marked plan and describe whether you mean floor coverings, the floor structure, a partition or a supporting wall. The same everyday wording can describe very different work, so drawings and qualified assessment may be needed before any price is reliable.
Service scope
Assessed removal of specified wall or floor elements with structural function and service interfaces established before work. This category distinguishes finish stripping from removal of the supporting construction and does not provide a safe demolition sequence.
What is normally included
- Definition of wall or floor removal extent
- Coordination of structural assessment
- Authorised element removal and handover
What is not included
- Assuming a wall or floor is non-structural
- Generic advice for cutting supports or removing load-bearing elements
Typical tasks
- Clarify element and removal depth
- Review structural and service information
- Define retained supports and interfaces
- Complete the authorised removal package
- Record exposed condition and next-stage needs
What to include in your brief
- Marked plan and photographs
- Construction information
- Structural advice if available
- Service and material surveys
- Intended replacement or opening details
Choosing the right professional
Ask who determines the element's structural role and specifies any supporting arrangements. A contractor should not infer safety from wall thickness, tapping sounds or the room layout supplied in a brief.
Important considerations
- Removing the wrong element can destabilise a building
- Floors and walls can contain concealed services and hazardous materials
