Practical articles to help you prepare for a renovation. Read what you can arrange beforehand, which questions to ask and how to make clear agreements.
Two demolition quotes can only be compared properly if they describe the same work. Check preparation, protection, waste disposal and handover in particular. A lower total may mean an item will be charged separately later.
Read more : Comparing demolition quotations: look beyond the total priceWhether you can stay at home during demolition depends on screening, safe access and available facilities. Discuss this for each phase of work. An unused bedroom is not enough if the route to it passes through the work area.
Read more : Living at home during demolition: what should you agree?Demolition causes disruption. Good preparation combines an appropriate working method with screening, a clear transport route and communication with neighbours. Ask for specific measures rather than a general promise of 'dust-free demolition'.
Read more : Reducing dust, noise and vibration during demolitionBefore work starts, establish which materials will be removed, what will be retained and which waste streams will be disposed of separately. The chosen waste processor's acceptance conditions determine what can go into each skip.
Read more : Separating building waste: arrange disposal before demolitionCreating an opening in an apartment involves not only the structure but also common parts, building rules and access. Gather the documents and agree the plan before fixing a date for the work.
Read more : Preparing a wall opening in a flatA clear request for concrete work describes the required opening, its location and known material details. The specialist must also be able to assess the structure, existing services and safe waste removal.
Read more : Concrete drilling or cutting: what information is needed in advance?Terms such as 'swept clean' and 'shell' do not describe the final result clearly enough on their own. Record for each room what will be removed, what will remain and what preparation the next contractor will still need to do.
Read more : Broom-clean or shell condition: agree precisely how the site will be handed overStart planning with the surveys, decisions and handovers required before work begins. The number of demolition days is only one part of the overall lead time.
Read more : Planning demolition to fit your renovationThe solid volume of an even layer is area × thickness. This calculation helps describe the scale of the work, but does not determine skip size, weight or demolition cost. Loose pieces occupy a different amount of space.
Read more : Calculating material volume: m², thickness and m³ explainedAn overview of the work area, a close-up of the item to be removed and a view of the access route help with the initial assessment. Only take photographs from safely accessible positions, and do not damage materials to expose something.
