Explore our comprehensive range of expert groundwork and civils services
At United Civils, we carry out small to mid-scale demolition works to safely remove unwanted structures, slabs, and hardstanding. Whether for a site clearance, redevelopment, or phased upgrade, we dismantle and remove with precision and care.
Serving Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire, our demolition teams are fully trained to remove garages, outbuildings, concrete slabs, retaining walls, and more. We handle all works under strict safety procedures with compliant waste handling and minimal disruption.
We undertake a wide range of non-high-rise demolition and structural removals, including:
Outbuildings and garages
Concrete slabs and pads
Retaining walls and plinths
Boundary walls and fencing
Hardstanding and tarmac areas
Old footpaths, steps, and kerbs
Precast or modular base structures
All works are risk-assessed in advance. Where applicable, we work from engineer-approved temporary works designs to maintain safety and structural control.
We use mechanical and manual methods depending on the structure, location, and access. Our process includes:
Site assessment and risk planning
Isolation of services (water, electric, gas)
Removal of roof, cladding, and internal soft strip
Demolition using excavators or breakers
Slab and footing breakout
Sorting and loading of materials for disposal or recycling
Dust suppression and noise control as required
If asbestos is suspected or identified, we follow UK legislation for licensed removal and site safety.
We also carry out breakout of structural concrete, footings, and hard bases using hydraulic breakers and appropriate plant. This includes:
Industrial slabs and service yards
Reinforced pads and base foundations
Old road surfaces and yard slabs
Footings and base removal for new builds
Spoil is loaded, removed, or stockpiled with appropriate segregation to reduce landfill and improve recycling rates.
All demolition works are undertaken by trained personnel:
CSCS-qualified operatives and supervisors
CPCS/NPORS machine operators
Asbestos Awareness trained
SSSTS/SMSTS supervisors
Licenced waste carriers (where applicable)
We manage skip hire, muck-away, and transport to licenced waste facilities with full duty-of-care documentation. Where possible, hardcore and concrete are crushed for reuse on site.
