Professional Demolition Services for Commercial & Infrastructure Projects

ETC Contracting & Consultants delivers controlled demolition services across the UK, supporting commercial redevelopment, infrastructure upgrades and site-enabling programmes. Operating our own fleet of excavators, demolition attachments and heavy plant, we manage structural dismantling, soft strip, site clearance and bulk material removal.

Working directly with developers, principal contractors and local authorities, we coordinate demolition sequencing, logistics planning and waste handling to ensure safe, compliant and programme-aligned project delivery.

All works are delivered in accordance with CDM 2015 regulations, with structured supervision and on-site operational control from mobilisation through to final clearance.

What Our Demolition Service Covers

Structural Demolition:

Controlled dismantling of commercial, industrial and infrastructure structures using excavators equipped with hydraulic breakers, shears and specialist demolition attachments. Phased demolition is coordinated to protect adjacent structures and maintain site safety.

Soft Strip & Internal Clearance:

Pre-demolition strip-out of internal fixtures, fittings and non-structural elements to prepare buildings for full structural removal or refurbishment.

Site Clearance & Ground Preparation:

Post-demolition clearance, crushing coordination where required, and preparation of formation levels ready for follow-on earthworks or construction activities.

High-Reach & Specialist Plant Deployment:

Deployment of suitable excavator configurations and attachments depending on building height, structure type and access constraints.

Waste Management & Material Removal:

Segregation and removal of demolition arisings in accordance with UK waste regulations. Material handling and haulage coordinated to minimise disruption and maintain programme continuity.

Demolition capability & site control

Every demolition project is planned with structured sequencing to manage safety, access, structural stability and environmental considerations. Our supervisors coordinate plant allocation, daily briefings and operational progress to ensure demolition works integrate efficiently within wider construction programmes.

Risk assessments, method statement alignment and controlled exclusion zones are implemented to maintain compliance and reduce operational risk on live or constrained sites.
