Costs & agreements

Comparing demolition quotes: look beyond the total price

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.

Preparation

Living at home during demolition: what should you agree?

Whether 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.

Safety & surroundings

Reducing dust, noise and vibration during demolition

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'.
