Exterior demolition — Demolition company

Provide photographs and a site plan showing the external element and nearby buildings, roads or gardens. Explain what remains after removal and whether the work will expose occupied rooms or adjoining construction to the weather.

Service scope

Planned removal of specified external building elements or structures with attention to neighbouring property, public access and weather exposure. The scope distinguishes façades, outbuildings and other external elements rather than assuming a single removal method suits them all.

What is normally included

  • Assessed external-element removal
  • Coordination of boundaries and public protection
  • Defined external-site handover

What is not included

  • Unauthorised work on shared structures
  • Guaranteed retention of adjoining fabric without assessment

Typical tasks

  • Define the external removal extent
  • Review surrounding structures and access
  • Coordinate competent planning and protections
  • Carry out the authorised package
  • Verify retained boundaries and handover condition

What to include in your brief

  • Site plan and element dimensions
  • Adjacent structures and public routes
  • Available structural and material surveys
  • Access for people and equipment
  • Weatherproofing needs after removal

Choosing the right professional

Ask how the contractor addresses the neighbouring environment and the condition left behind. Compare proposals on the same protection, temporary closure and reinstatement scope, not just the quantity of material removed.

Important considerations

  • Falling debris can affect areas outside the work footprint
  • Removal can expose previously sheltered construction
