The demolition experts
If you have a project which requires demolition work, then there are plenty of factors you need to consider – and this is why it pays to get professionals to do the job
The first consideration is whether or not there is asbestos present, and if there is it needs to be removed prior to demolition. Common places to find it are soffits and gable ends, house and garage claddings, stipple ceilings and backing to vinyl flooring. However, it is often in other unexpected places as well, and a licenced asbestos assessor is the best person to use to find it all. In most cases asbestos will need to be removed by a licensed removalist before other work can progress on site. Identifying and removing asbestos correctly is legal requirement and can’t be avoided. Will you want any trees or garden areas left intact after the demolition work? It’s a bit hard telling a digger operator that just after they have driven over your heritage roses. Given advance warning we are happy to save garden areas if possible. The same goes for garden sheds, clotheslines fencing, paving etc – before quoting a job the contractor needs to know exactly what is and isn’t to be removed from site. Good communication also applies to salvage items. As a credit for salvage value is usually a component of the demolition quote the contractor needs to know if you want to retain any building parts. This needs to be advised prior to the job being priced. We value salvage materials and these get recycled through our demolition yard The Pumphouse in Tuam Street. We also buy in materials to ensure we have a good range available. A large component of the demolition cost is waste disposal. It’s expensive to take materials to landfill so demolition contractors sort waste as much as possible. Salvageable materials are removed for resale, concrete and hardfill can be taken for crushing or delivered to Lyttelton for reclamation work. Green waste is taken for shredding and composting and metals can be recycled. Finally, don’t forget about power. Removal of power to the property is often left to the last minute and this can result in a delayed start date. It can take 2-3 weeks from the date of contacting the power supplier before power is actually removed, so it pays for the building owner to book this as early as possible. At City Salvage Contractors we like to make the whole process as easy as possible for clients. We can usually do a site visit and quote at short notice and can assist with organising an asbestos survey if one hasn’t already been done. We are licenced to remove asbestos so if it is found there are no holdups before demolition can take place. We are also available to do stand-alone asbestos removal jobs. So, if you have demolition and/or asbestos removal project in the pipeline and want a competitive price then get in touch with City Salvage Contractors. CT
