Project Overview
Feltham Demolition Services successfully delivered a comprehensive house demolition and site clearance project at a prime riverside location on Ham Island, Old Windsor. This high-profile project involved the complete removal of existing structures to make way for an exclusive new family home on this prestigious Thames-side setting.
Location & Context
Ham Island is a picturesque location in Old Windsor, offering stunning riverside views and a highly desirable residential setting. The sensitive nature of the riverside environment required careful planning and execution to ensure minimal environmental impact while preparing the site for its next chapter.
Scope of Works
The project encompassed a full turnkey demolition and site preparation package:
Internal Strip-Out
Our team conducted a complete internal strip-out of the existing structures, carefully removing all fixtures, fittings, and non-structural elements. This methodical approach allowed for maximum material recovery and ensured a clean slate for the demolition phase.
Structural Demolition
Following the strip-out, we executed the full demolition of all existing structures on site. Our experienced operatives employed controlled demolition techniques suited to the riverside location, ensuring safety and minimising disruption to the surrounding area.
Site Clearance
Complete site clearance was undertaken, removing all demolition debris and ensuring the site was cleared to formation level. The ground was left in optimal condition for the subsequent construction phases.
Piling Mat Installation
As part of our comprehensive service, we installed a 250mm piling mat across the site. This critical groundwork element provides a stable working platform for the foundation works and ensures proper load distribution for the new development.
Environmental Commitment
Sustainability was at the heart of this project’s execution. We’re proud to report that 98% of all materials from the demolition were recycled, demonstrating our commitment to environmental responsibility and circular economy principles. This impressive recycling rate included:
– Crushed concrete and masonry for aggregate reuse
– Recovered metals sent for reprocessing
– Timber materials diverted from landfill
– Segregated waste streams for specialist recycling
Project Delivery
The Ham Island project was delivered:
– Safely – with zero accidents or incidents recorded
– Efficiently – completed on schedule and within budget
– To a high standard – meeting all client specifications and regulatory requirements
Our team’s expertise in riverside and sensitive location projects ensured that all works were conducted with minimal impact on neighbouring properties and the natural environment.
The Result
The site now stands ready for the next exciting phase – the construction of a beautiful new family home that will take full advantage of this exceptional riverfront location. Our works have provided a clean, level, and properly prepared foundation for the development to proceed.
This project exemplifies Feltham Demolition Services’ capability to deliver complex demolition projects in sensitive locations, combining technical expertise with environmental stewardship and an unwavering commitment to safety.
