Large House Demolition Project in Bracknell, Berkshire
The Careful Process of Large-Scale Residential Demolition
Feltham Demolition completed the successful demolition of a big residential house in Bracknell, Berkshire. The demolition consisted of the destruction of a big family house and outbuildings to pave the way for new development. The task had its own set of challenges, such as the property’s size and the client’s demand for environmentally friendly waste disposal.
Instead of conventional skip-hire, Feltham Demolition used their grab-hire service, whereby a lorry with a reach hydraulic arm was used. This was perfect for managing the amount of waste material, allowing the crew to tidy up the site effectively without causing disturbance to adjoining properties in this residential neighborhood.
“We were very impressed with Feltham Demolition’s efficiency,” commented the property developer. “The site was cleared within a day, which allowed us to commence building earlier than planned. Their grab-hire service saved us both time and money.”
The entire demolition rubble was delivered to Feltham Demolition’s depot for proper sorting and recycling. Bricks that were in a reusable state were washed and sorted for use in on-site construction projects, while concrete was broken down to aggregate for driveways and foundations. Timber that could be reused was allocated for refurbishment schemes, further aiding the firm’s pledge to a greener approach.
This achievement illustrates how creative waste management solutions can successfully reconcile operational efficiency and environmental sustainability, establishing a benchmark for local demolition projects in Bracknell.
Primary School Demolition in Bracknell, Berkshire
From Past to Future: The Redevelopment of a Primary School Site
In September 2024, our Demolition team was hired to complete the demolition of a classroom block at a primary school in Bracknell, Berkshire. The project required careful planning due to ongoing school activities in adjacent classrooms, making minimal disruption a top priority in this busy educational environment.
Following a thorough asbestos survey that confirmed the site was clear, the team employed their JCB mini excavator for the demolition. This specialist equipment was chosen specifically for its precise control capabilities, low noise emissions, and efficiency in a sensitive school environment.
“The speed and care taken by Feltham Demolition was exceptional,” said the school representative. “Having the entire project completed in a single day minimised disruption to our students’ learning, which was essential for our school community in Bracknell.”
The team expertly dismantled the former classroom block, methodically sorting materials as they worked. Using Feltham’s grab-hire service, all debris was efficiently removed from the site. An impressive 98% of materials, primarily timber, were salvaged for recycling. The remaining rubble was transported to an aggregate plant for processing and future use in construction projects across Berkshire.
This project demonstrates Feltham Demolition’s ability to execute sensitive demolition works efficiently while maintaining their commitment to environmental responsibility, setting a standard for educational sector demolition projects in Bracknell.

Demolition FAQs
Need some help? Here are some common questions our Bracknell demolition team get regularly asked.
Why would you need a demolition company?
Whilst you can demolish your own property in the UK with the correct planning permission, it is a difficult and risky process that often leaves you with a hefty bill at the end. Demolition companies, like Feltham Demolition, are trained professionals with access to the best equipment who can demolish buildings safely and efficiently.
And it is not just full demolitions that demolition companies handle. We offer a wide range of services for Bracknell, such as:
- Temporary Facade erection
- Plant removal
- Chimney demolition
- Contaminated material removals
- Tank removals (above and below ground)
Who is responsible for demolition health and safety?
Before any demolition takes place, all of our sites are inspected by a team of contractors to ensure the proper precautions are taken. Site managers are responsible for enforcing health and safety once the demolition begins, identifying, reporting, and resolving any issues as they arise.
If you have any questions about how we ensure safety during demolition in Bracknell, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Does Feltham Demolition remove the waste?
Yes. All rubble and debris left by our demolition services will be removed by Feltham Demolition. We have a skip hire service that we use to reliably sort through rubble and dispose of it in the most efficient and environmentally conscious way we can, so you don’t have to worry about it.
How long does demolition take?
The length of a demolition varies depending on its scale. A typical house demolition often takes just 5 days to complete, whilst factory demolition can take significantly longer. In places like London, where many of the houses are built very close together, a house demolition can occasionally take up to 2 weeks.
Please contact us to receive a more exact time frame suited to your needs.
What happens to the demolition waste?
Feltham Demolition is committed to removing all demolition waste in the most efficient and environmentally conscious way possible. As such, we sort the rubble diligently and recycle as much of it as we can. Where things cannot be recycled, like asbestos, for example, we dispose of the waste in the appropriate and safest manner.
Can you secure the demolition area?
Yes. We use security hoardings around the site to ensure both the property and the surrounding area are safe. This hoarding limits the environmental impact of our work, stops trespassers from accessing the site, and helps prevent theft.
How much does demolition cost?
The cost of demolition is dependent on the size of the property, the location, and the equipment needed for the demolition. The material a property is made of and the removal of any hazardous materials can also impact this cost.

Can Feltham Demolition remove asbestos?
Feltham Demolition are experts in removing both ‘notifiable asbestos’ and ‘non-notifiable asbestos’ from walls and roofs. We can offer Asbestos surveys before demolition begins to prevent any nasty surprises that can stop a project in its tracks. We have removed asbestos throughout Bracknell from homes, schools, nursing homes, offices and more and can certainly help no matter the project.
For more information on Asbestos removal or asbestos surveys, please get in touch.
Is planning permission required for demolition?
In the UK, projects involving demolition are categorised under the definition of development. Due to this Planning Permission is required for the majority of demolition projects before work begins. There are two notable exceptions to this:
- The demolition site is less than 50 cubic metres
- The full demolition of a fence, gate, wall or other kind of enclosure
In projects, such as housing development, where other works are also taking place, demolition can often be included in the overall planning application reducing the need for separate planning permission.
Feltham Demolition can offer guidance for obtaining planning permission in Bracknell. For any questions and queries, please contact us.
