Years of experience have made us specialists in greenhouse demolition and dismantling. We know what to look out for and which permits we need, so we rarely encounter surprises.
Greenhouse demolition involves removing or dismantling a greenhouse, usually to make way for a new complex or other businesses on the site. The glass is removed first, followed by the metal framework. The foundations can also be removed if required.
When demolishing a greenhouse, several factors are important: cost, quality and speed, but above all how much of the work is taken off your hands. We are happy to explain our approach to greenhouse demolition so you can make an informed choice for your greenhouse or greenhouse complex.
Greenhouse demolition requires a true expert
Some demolition work can be carried out partly or entirely yourself, but greenhouse demolition is not one of those jobs. It requires a genuine, experienced expert. Greenhouses must be demolished carefully, precisely and according to a specific plan. You may even need a demolition permit. However many greenhouses you have, however large they are and whatever their demolition requires, we will take care of it for you.
Sloop-concurrent started more than 23 years ago as a demolition company for Amsterdam and the surrounding area. We have grown year after year, both in our service area, which now covers the whole Netherlands, and in our expertise. From homes to offices, commercial buildings, schools and greenhouses, we have extensive experience and know-how in every area. You can therefore confidently choose us for greenhouse demolition. We always provide complete, safe demolition, within the agreed deadline and at competitive rates.
Greenhouse demolition conditions
Every demolition job is different. Each project presents different conditions and, of course, different buildings to demolish. However, demolition jobs often share several features, partly because of the materials used and the structure of the buildings. Whether it is a home, a school or commercial premises, their foundations and structures are often very similar. As a result, the demolition methods used are often similar too.
A greenhouse is, of course, different. The architecture and construction of greenhouses differ considerably from those of other buildings, largely because of the vast amount of glass they contain. A greenhouse's specific properties and features mean that its demolition requires a different approach. Glass panels can break easily, so rough handling is not advisable. It creates more mess, dangerous situations and a much longer project because so much needs to be cleared up.
In other words, not every demolition company is the right choice for demolishing a greenhouse, let alone an entire greenhouse complex. Of course, any company may eventually finish the job. But you want a good result and a quick result. That is why you choose an expert such as Sloop-concurrent.
How we work
Greenhouse demolition requires precision and therefore a thorough plan. We never start work without one. Before beginning the actual demolition, we survey the site and the greenhouses. Where are the greenhouses located? What are the surroundings like? What is the best method and sequence for demolition and removal? We assess every aspect and prepare a plan. When demolition begins, we know exactly what to do.
This also gives you something reliable to plan around. There is nothing more frustrating than demolition taking longer than planned or agreed. Of course, any project can bring surprises, but our experience and expertise give you a very high degree of certainty that the demolition will be completed successfully within the agreed timeframe. By thoroughly assessing and surveying the project, we can provide a realistic estimate of the work involved.
Our team has the knowledge and experience
Over the years, Sloop-concurrent's team has grown to more than 100 experienced professionals. We continually invest in training, further development and the latest techniques. When we work for you, you can count on skilled people with the right knowledge and years of experience to carry out your greenhouse demolition to an excellent standard. As you would expect from true professionals, every member of our team holds a safety passport. They can complete your project not only well, but also quickly and thoroughly.
A modern, comprehensive and well-maintained fleet of machinery
Suitable machinery is particularly important when demolishing greenhouses. We have a modern, well-maintained and versatile fleet of machinery. We own all the excavators, bulldozers, lorries and other machines and vehicles needed for greenhouse demolition. This ensures continuous availability and also reduces costs: we do not need to hire machinery or equipment, so there are no hire charges to pass on to you.
Our team also has all the tools and other equipment needed to complete the job to the highest standard.
We work quickly, safely and neatly
The hardest part of greenhouse demolition is not actually taking the greenhouses down. It is doing so neatly and carefully. We see this as a crucial part of the entire process for several reasons. First, safe demolition is a high priority for us. We want our people to work safely while also reducing risks to anyone else present. The work involves glass, which can create dangerous situations, especially if it breaks. We always work safely and tidily, both during demolition and afterwards: we make sure the site is left completely tidy. We remove all rubble and clear everything away so you are not left with a mess.

Greenhouse demolition does not necessarily mean the end of your greenhouses
Greenhouse demolition generally takes place for three reasons: to make way for a new complex, because the business is closing, or because it is relocating. Relocation may be necessary, for example, when the business has outgrown its site, wants to expand further or must make way for a different land use or type of development. If the business continues elsewhere, the greenhouses have to be dismantled. However, this is done differently from demolition when a business is closing down.
Greenhouses are valuable assets. When a business moves to a new location, it may be essential to reuse the greenhouses, or at least as much of them as possible. Rebuilding a greenhouse complex with new materials can be extremely expensive. That investment has already been made, so if it can be avoided, every effort should be made to do so.
Demolishing a greenhouse does not necessarily mean the end of its useful life. We can dismantle any greenhouse in a way that keeps individual components intact for reuse. As you can imagine, this is highly specialist work with many factors to consider. You need professionals who can work quickly and effectively without causing damage. That calls for an experienced specialist such as Sloop-concurrent. Dismantling greenhouses is skilled work. Even a small mistake or a moment's carelessness can cause damage and leave a component unusable.
We work systematically
When dismantling greenhouses for reuse, we work systematically. We make sure we know exactly what needs to be done and the best way to dismantle your greenhouses. Naturally, we take particular care with the glass. We can remove all the glass panels, store them safely and transport them to the new location if required. This leaves the greenhouse frame, which we dismantle expertly. We always handle this with great care and attention too, while of course keeping deadlines in mind.
Regulations to consider
Every type of demolition is subject to regulations. These ensure that work meets standards and requirements covering matters such as safety and the environment. Greenhouses naturally have specific requirements relating to their structure, materials and associated risks. Our staff stay up to date with the rules and ensure fast, safe demolition or dismantling that complies with all applicable regulations.
Even for conventional demolition, where components do not need to be reused, we ensure that everything is handled correctly. We always work with environmental awareness and to the strictest standards, whether or not these are legally required: we always set the highest standards for our own work.
