Working in Salisbury
-
Notices to Wiltshire Council
Salisbury is covered by Wiltshire Council. Most demolitions need a Section 80 notice sent to the council at least six weeks before work starts, and we prepare and submit it for you.
-
The historic city
The centre of Salisbury and the Cathedral Close are conservation areas with many listed buildings. Demolition there can need planning permission or listed building consent, so check with the council's planning team first.
-
City-centre access
Salisbury's historic centre has narrow streets and limited parking, so the survey covers how machinery and lorries get in and where waste is loaded.
How a demolition project works
-
Free site survey
We visit the site to look at the building, the access and the neighbouring properties, and talk through what you need.
-
Written quote
You get a clear written quote. If the building holds materials worth reclaiming, that value is reflected in the price.
-
Notices and paperwork
We prepare and submit the Section 80 notice, method statement and waste management plan, and provide RAMS before work starts.
-
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.
-
Demolition
The structure comes down in a planned sequence, with the site kept safe for neighbours and the public throughout.
-
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 Salisbury
Do you cover Salisbury and the surrounding villages?
Yes. As well as Salisbury itself, including Harnham, Laverstock and Bemerton Heath, we work in Wilton, Downton, Alderbury and across south Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset.
Do I need permission to demolish a building in Salisbury?
Most demolitions need a Section 80 notice sent to Wiltshire Council at least six weeks before work starts. Buildings that are listed or in a conservation area, including much of the city centre, may also need listed building consent or planning permission. We prepare and submit the Section 80 notice for you.
Do you take on commercial work in Salisbury?
Yes. Alongside homes and garages, we take on commercial and industrial demolition and strip-outs, with RAMS provided and full insurance on every job.
What happens to the materials from my building?
We sort the waste as we go and recover and reuse over 90% of the materials. Sound bricks, timber, slate and clay peg tiles are reclaimed, and when they are worth something, that value is reflected in our quote.
How soon can you start?
We work seven days a week and can often fit in urgent jobs. If your demolition needs a Section 80 notice, book the survey early: work can't start until Wiltshire Council has responded or six weeks have passed.
