Small demolition and strip-outs: what to expect
Small demolition jobs combine two tasks that usually need two different firms: taking something apart, and getting rid of the waste. We do both, so an old shed, conservatory or kitchen is gone in a day or two, and the space is ready for whatever comes next.
We take down sheds, summerhouses, garages, conservatories, porches, garden walls and outbuildings across Ipswich, and strip out kitchens, bathrooms and offices ahead of refurbishment. Materials are separated as we go, so timber, metal, glass, rubble and plasterboard can each be recycled.
Many older outbuildings contain asbestos, particularly in garage roofs and wall panels. We check for it before any demolition and arrange safe removal first if it is present.
What we take down
Garages
Concrete sectional and brick garages. Asbestos roofs removed safely first.
Conservatories
Glass, frames and dwarf walls removed ready for a new build.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Units, worktops, suites and tiles stripped back.
Office strip-outs
Partitions, ceilings and flooring removed. See office clearance.
Walls and hardstanding
Garden walls, patios and concrete bases broken out.
Before you demolish
Check for asbestos
Garages, sheds and outbuildings built before 2000 may contain asbestos. A test before demolition avoids contamination and costly delays. See asbestos testing.
Disconnect services
Water, gas and electricity to the structure must be safely isolated and disconnected first. For kitchens and bathrooms, we can work with your plumber and electrician.
Planning and building control
Most small outbuildings can be removed without permission, but listed buildings and conservation areas have extra rules. Larger demolitions may need prior notification to the council.
Recycling the materials
Timber, metal, glass and rubble are separated on site. Clean rubble can be crushed into recycled aggregate.
