Demolition Services

Whether you’re renovating a property, clearing space for a new construction, or dealing with a structural issue, Chain Demolition Contractors are trusted experts on all aspects of the demolition process. Our team have had years of experience serving Manchester and Cheshire, specialising in everything from residential soft strip demolition to demolition of commercial and industrial spaces, along with a number of other specialised services like non-fibrous asbestos removal and garden clearance.

Looking at our demolition services specifically, there are big differences between the types of demolition services we offer. A residential strip out demolition project, for instance, is typically more intricate and requires a particularly high level of care to minimise disruption to neighbours and the surrounding area. An industrial project, on the other hand, will require careful coordination to ensure all stakeholders are involved – including health and safety officers, regulatory bodies, and potentially multiple subcontractors – with heavy, specialised machinery to deal with larger structures.

With this in mind, we wanted to walk through the ins and outs of each specific service, helping you understand what kind of demolition project you should expect.

Asbestos Removal: Explained

As a certified asbestos removal company, this is something we strive to achieve. For non-fibrous asbestos removal, specifically, our job is to safely identify it, handle it, and remove it in accordance with all the relevant safety guidelines and regulations. Non-fibrous asbestos, of course, still poses a risk if disturbed. Typically found in materials like vinyl tiles, roofing, or cement products, we ensure that all materials are properly contained and disposed of to prevent any exposure to harmful fibres, creating a space that is both safe and compliant.

Residential Projects

Residential demolition covers the removal of homes, apartments, and smaller structures, ensuring space is cleared for new builds or renovations. Our key residential services include:

Each residential demolition project begins with a site assessment, ensuring all utilities are disconnected, any necessary permits are obtained, and safety measures are in place. Our focus is on efficiency and minimising disruption to neighbours.

While demolitions across all sectors share certain similarities, one of the most major differences influencing our residential demolition services is the regulatory framework.

At Chain Demolition, we serve the Manchester Borough area from our Northwich headquarters, which means we follow specific permits and approvals required from the local council. If you are planning a residential demolition in Cheshire, local councils need a demolition permit to ensure the demolition complies with all relevant safety, environmental, and planning regulations.

Commercial Projects

Commercial demolition involves dismantling larger structures like office buildings and retail spaces. We handle these projects with precision and care, offering the following key services:

Commercial demolitions often require detailed planning, waste management, and consultation with stakeholders. Our team of demolition contractors ensures every aspect of the project, from risk assessments to traffic management, is handled professionally.

The planning process, for instance, may include consultations with the community or nearby businesses, and due to the size and complexity of commercial buildings, there is an added focus on the environmental impact. Waste disposal, recycling, and the handling of hazardous materials must be conducted according to strict environmental guidelines, and a full survey will be required to identify any risks.

Industrial Projects

Industrial demolition includes the dismantling of factories, warehouses, and other large facilities. These projects are complex and require specialised expertise. Our industrial services include:

Like commercial demolition, these projects are typically more complex due to the size of the structures and the presence of heavy machinery. Regulations and permits include compliance with the HSE – Health and Safety Executive – guidelines, local environmental standards, and the need for specialised permits for handling hazardous materials, waste management, and air quality control.

This is one of our key missions when undertaking the project: to keep practices as sustainable as possible, while also ensuring the safety of workers by preventing any environmental contamination during the construction debris removal process.

FAQ

Residential, commercial, and industrial demolitions require specialised knowledge, equipment, and a tailored approach, and that is exactly what we offer. For this reason, if you’re planning any of the demolition projects mentioned above – and you want to make both safety and efficiency a priority from the off – we’d urge you to get in touch with us. Before you do, however, take a look at these frequently asked questions.

Do I Need to Notify Neighbours About Demolition?

Before we carry out our residential demolition services, it’s important to notify neighbours and get appropriate permission before getting started. During the project, however, we’ll take care to minimise disruption by using noise control measures, dust suppression techniques, and scheduling work during convenient hours.

Will My Business Be Disrupted During Demolition?

For our commercial demolition services, we take steps to minimise any disruption to your business, such as setting up safety barriers and managing traffic around the site. With that being said, every project is different, and we’ll work closely with you to create a schedule that suits your needs. Some elements of the process, such as concrete removal, will produce more noise than others, but we always aim to reduce disruption.

How Are Hazardous Materials Handled?

Our strip out contractors follow strict safety protocols for both construction debris removal and removal of hazardous materials, ensuring proper disposal and compliance with all regulations.

What Permits Do You Need for Industrial Demolition?

Industrial demolition will require several permits, and we ensure all are obtained – including specific licences – to comply with local regulations and ensure everyone’s safety.

Will You Ensure the Project is Finished Quickly?

We prioritise speed and efficiency in all our strip out and demolition projects, but our number one priority is safety. Everything must be done according to strict safety standards to protect our team, your property, and the surrounding area. In order to complete projects as quickly as possible, then, every element is carefully planned ahead of time, ensuring the process remains both safe and efficient.
