Site clearance is an essential step from the completion of demolition through to site preparation for the next phase of construction. Surrey Contracting offers cost-effective site clearance solutions to prepare your land for subsequent project stages. We remove all debris, vegetation, redundant structures and waste materials, leaving your site clean and ready for development. Our team works efficiently to minimise programme delays, and we ensure all waste is disposed of responsibly in accordance with current environmental regulations. Our team brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure your project is completed on schedule and on budget.
Our soft strip demolition service focuses on removing all non-structural elements from a building, including fixtures, fittings, suspended ceilings, partition walls, mechanical and electrical installations, floor coverings and decorative finishes, while maintaining the structural framework throughout. This is often the first phase of a refurbishment or fit-out project, and requires careful planning to avoid damage to the retained structure. Our operatives are experienced in working within occupied buildings and live environments where noise, dust and disruption must be carefully managed.
Concrete crushing provides an efficient and sustainable way to process demolition arisings into reusable aggregate, reducing landfill, haulage movements and overall project costs. Surrey Contracting offers concrete crushing solutions for commercial, industrial and development sites, with options for on-site mobile crushing or off-site processing depending on project scale, site access and programme requirements. Where suitable, on-site crushing can reduce muck-away costs and limit the need to import new aggregates. Processed material can then be reused as sub-base, general fill or drainage aggregate, supporting a more cost-effective and environmentally responsible approach to site preparation.
Securing your site is critical before any demolition or construction work begins. Surrey Contracting provides a full range of site hoarding and security solutions including surface-mounted hoarding, dug-in hoarding, temporary Harris fencing, and vehicle and pedestrian gates. We also work with specialist partners to provide site alarm systems and CCTV monitoring for added security during the project duration. All hoarding is installed to meet health and safety requirements and can be branded with your company signage if required.
Before any soft strip or structural demolition, a refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey has to be in place where asbestos may be present. Where the survey finds licensed work, that removal is carried out by an HSE-licensed specialist contractor before the affected demolition proceeds. Surrey Contracting sequences the survey, the specialist removal and the demolition programme so they run as one package rather than three.
Surrey Contracting provides full structural demolition, partial demolition for renovation, soft strip-out, site clearance, concrete crushing, site hoarding and security, and coordination of licensed asbestos removal by specialist contractors, for residential and commercial clients across Surrey, London and the South East.
Licensed asbestos removal can only be carried out by an HSE-licensed contractor, and Surrey Contracting brings in a licensed specialist for that work. What we do is make sure the refurbishment and demolition survey is in place first, sequence the removal ahead of the demolition, and handle the site access and handover so the two programmes run together rather than as separate packages.

Demolition in Surrey is quoted per project, because the price depends on the size and construction of the building, whether asbestos is present, waste volumes and site access. On-site concrete crushing can reduce disposal and haulage costs where space allows. Surrey Contracting provides a free measured site visit and a fixed-price itemised quotation before any work starts.

Not always. Demolishing a house usually falls under permitted development, but most projects need a prior approval application to the local planning authority covering the method of demolition and site restoration, and the council must be notified under Section 80 of the Building Act 1984 before work starts. Listed buildings and buildings in conservation areas need consent. Surrey Contracting advises on notifications as part of project planning.
