Controlled demolition & strip-outs.
Most of our extensions and renovations begin with careful demolition or strip-out work. We also take on standalone demolition of outbuildings, chimney breasts, internal walls, garages and old structures — carried out safely, tidily and with proper waste disposal.
Scope of work
Every project is scoped individually, but here's what a typical demolition project with ADB SW covers.
- Internal strip-outs before renovation
- Removal of chimney breasts (with structural support)
- Internal wall removal with RSJs
- Outbuilding & garage demolition
- Removal of old kitchens, bathrooms and flooring
- Full site clearance & waste disposal

Assess
We check the structure and identify what needs supporting before anything comes out.
Protect
We sheet up, floor-protect and dust-manage — because you may still be living in the house.
Demolish & clear
Controlled removal, proper waste transfer and a site left ready for the next stage.
"Tony and his team did a fantastic job on our new kitchen build. The quality of the finish is excellent, and the space has been transformed exactly as we hoped. They were professional, friendly, and easy to work with throughout the project. We're really pleased with the result and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable construction team."
