Working in Hampshire

  • Notices to the right council

    Section 80 notices go to the council for the area: New Forest District Council for Ringwood, Fordingbridge, New Milton and Lymington, Test Valley Borough Council for Romsey, and Southampton City Council for Southampton. We prepare and submit the notice for you.

  • The New Forest National Park

    Inside the New Forest National Park, the National Park Authority deals with planning, and demolition in one of its conservation areas can need planning permission. Check with them early if your site is in the Park.

  • Close to our base

    Ringwood and Fordingbridge are just across the county border from our base at Three Legged Cross, so we can visit quickly and often fit in short-notice work.

Recent project:
Lymington

On a residential project in Lymington, we crushed brick and concrete rubble on site with a mobile crusher, so it could be reused rather than taken away as waste. It's one of the ways we recover and reuse over 90% of materials.

How a demolition project works

  1. Free site survey

    We visit the site to look at the building, the access and the neighbouring properties, and talk through what you need.

  2. Written quote

    You get a clear written quote. If the building holds materials worth reclaiming, that value is reflected in the price.

  3. Notices and paperwork

    We prepare and submit the Section 80 notice, method statement and waste management plan, and provide RAMS before work starts.

  4. Soft strip and salvage

    Fixtures, fittings and reusable features come out first, and bricks, timber, slate and tiles are set aside wherever they can be reclaimed.

  5. Demolition

    The structure comes down in a planned sequence, with the site kept safe for neighbours and the public throughout.

  6. Clearance and recycling

    Waste is sorted and over 90% of materials are recovered and reused. We leave the site clear and ready for the next stage.

Questions about demolition in Hampshire

Which parts of Hampshire do you cover?

We work across Hampshire, including Ringwood, Fordingbridge, New Milton, Lymington, Totton, Romsey and Southampton, as well as Dorset and Wiltshire.

Who do I send a Section 80 notice to in Hampshire?

It goes to the council for the area the building is in, such as New Forest District Council, Test Valley Borough Council or Southampton City Council. Most demolitions need the notice at least six weeks before work starts, and we prepare and submit it as part of the job.

Do you take on commercial projects in Hampshire?

Yes. We take on commercial and industrial demolition and strip-outs as well as residential work, and every job is fully insured with RAMS provided.

Can you clear the site after the demolition?

Yes. Bases and hardstanding can be broken out, waste and vegetation removed, and the ground levelled and graded ready for building.

How soon can you start?

We're available seven days a week and can often fit in urgent or short-notice work, especially close to our base around Ringwood and Fordingbridge. Where a Section 80 notice is needed, work can't start until the council has responded or six weeks have passed.
