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 Wimborne
Are you based near Wimborne?
Yes. We're based at Three Legged Cross, a few miles from Wimborne Minster, and we cover Colehill, Corfe Mullen, Merley, Ferndown, West Moors and Verwood as well as the rest of Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
Do I need permission to demolish a building in Wimborne?
Most demolitions need a Section 80 notice sent to Dorset Council at least six weeks before work starts. Buildings that are listed or in a conservation area, such as parts of Wimborne Minster, may also need listed building consent or planning permission. We prepare and submit the Section 80 notice for you.
What happens if there is asbestos in the building?
Before a building is demolished it needs a refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey. Any asbestos the survey finds has to be removed safely before demolition starts, and licensed asbestos work must be done by a contractor licensed by the HSE.
How much does demolition cost in Wimborne?
It depends on the size and construction of the building, how easy the site is to reach, the amount of waste and whether any materials can be salvaged. We start with a free site survey and then give you a clear written quote.
Can you remove a garage or outbuilding?
Yes. We take down garages and outbuildings, remove the concrete base if you want it gone, and leave the area clear and level.
