Project Overview
Feltham Demolition was hired for a house demolition in Wembley to make way for a modern development. The client’s primary concern was the efficient removal of demolition waste to clear the site quickly for the construction phase. The waste materials from the demolition included bricks, concrete, timber, and metal, all of which needed to be handled promptly to stay on schedule.
The challenge was to ensure that the site was cleared in the shortest possible time while minimising disruption to the neighbouring properties and streets. The client also emphasised their desire for an eco-friendly solution that would ensure the recycling of as much of the demolition waste as possible. They needed a service that was cost-effective, quick, and capable of handling the large volume of materials without causing delays.
What We Did
We utilised our grab-hire service to address the client’s needs. A grab-hire lorry, equipped with a hydraulic arm, was dispatched to collect the debris from the demolition site. This service was chosen over traditional skip-hire for several important reasons:
- Speed and Efficiency:
Skip-hire would have required multiple skips placed on-site, with workers needing time to fill each one manually. In contrast, grab-hire allowed us to remove the waste in one swift operation. The grab lorry was able to collect all of the demolition debris in a single trip, clearing the site in just one day. - Cost Savings:
The client saved money by avoiding the need to hire multiple skips, which would have required more time to fill and more space on-site. Skip-hire also comes with higher disposal costs and potentially longer hire durations. By using grab-hire, the waste was quickly loaded and removed in one go, reducing both the cost and the time involved in site clearance.
Once the waste was collected, it was taken to our demolition waste recycling yard, where the materials were sorted for recycling. The team separated concrete, timber, bricks, and metal to ensure each material could be repurposed for future construction projects.
The Results
The client was extremely satisfied with Feltham Demolition’s grab-hire service. The site was cleared efficiently, leaving it ready for the next phase of the development without any delays. The grab-hire service allowed the client to stay on schedule and avoid the logistical difficulties that would have come with multiple skips.
By using grab-hire, the client not only saved time but also reduced costs. The client appreciated the environmentally friendly approach Feltham Demolition used by recycling as much of the waste as possible. The fast site clearance meant the construction team could begin work immediately, keeping the project on track and on budget.
Feltham Demolition and the Environment
Feltham Demolition is committed to sustainable practices, and recycling plays a critical role in their services. After collecting the waste from the Wembley site, the materials were taken back to the company’s recycling facility for sorting:
- Bricks and Concrete:
The bricks and concrete were crushed into reusable aggregates, which are commonly used in roadworks and foundations for new buildings. For instance, the recycled concrete from this project could be used in the construction of new housing developments or infrastructure projects across Wembley, reducing the need for newly quarried materials and lowering the overall environmental impact. - Metal:
Metal components, such as steel, were separated and sent to metal recycling facilities, where they were processed for reuse. Recycled steel is in high demand in the construction industry and can be used in the structural framework of new buildings or in the manufacturing of various construction materials. - Timber:
Reusable timber was also salvaged, cleaned, and repurposed. Timber can be used in new construction or for landscaping projects, giving a second life to what would otherwise be discarded.
By recycling materials from demolition sites, Feltham Demolition helps reduce landfill waste and promotes the reuse of resources in the local construction industry, contributing to more sustainable development across Wembley.
If you’re planning a demolition project and need a fast, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible waste removal service, our grab-hire service is the perfect solution. Save time, reduce costs, and ensure your demolition waste is recycled and reused responsibly.
