We offer demolition services in Woking, Surrey and the surrounding areas. Our team of expert demolition contractors are fully-versed in safe and secure demolition. Whether you are looking to demolish a house, a factory, a block of flats, or a commercial office, our team will ensure you take the legal and safety precautions so your project remains on schedule.
The first step to this involves, among other things, dust control, building strip outs and reclamation services. We then move on to demolishing the main structure using suitable methods and machinery.
SITE CLEARANCE
Before starting new building works, it’s essential to have the right ground preparation. Site clearance is also necessary to make room for new, modern buildings where existing structures are beyond repair.
As a dedicated demolition company working across the Surrey area, we provide an all-inclusive clearance service which ensures there are no subtle structures left behind, such as foundations. Your site is then ready for new buildings or establishments.
EQUIPMENT
We have a vast range of specialist equipment and vehicles which ensure we complete every aspect of our work to the highest standard. As well as demolition equipment, we have a fleet of mini diggers and grab lorries, which are ideal for site clearance and muck away.
In a notable demonstration of efficient demolition practices, Feltham Demolition recently completed a challenging project at a Woking secondary school, utilising their specialist grab-hire service. The operation centred on demolishing an existing building to accommodate new classroom facilities, whilst maintaining strict safety protocols and minimal disruption to school activities.
The company’s innovative approach replaced traditional skip-hire methods with a grab lorry system, featuring a hydraulic arm for waste removal. This solution proved particularly effective in the confined school environment, eliminating the need for multiple skip placements that could have compromised access routes and safety.
The project showcased Feltham’s commitment to environmental responsibility through comprehensive material recycling. Concrete was repurposed as aggregate for local construction projects, whilst metal components were channelled into Woking’s commercial development sector. Salvageable timber underwent preparation for reuse in regional refurbishment projects, demonstrating the company’s dedication to sustainable construction practices.
The school management praised the project’s execution, noting the seamless integration with daily academic activities and swift site clearance that enabled timely commencement of construction work. The grab-hire service delivered both time and cost efficiencies whilst supporting the school’s environmental objectives.
This successful project exemplifies how modern demolition techniques, when thoughtfully implemented, can achieve optimal results in sensitive environments. Feltham Demolition’s approach effectively balanced operational efficiency, safety considerations and environmental responsibility, setting a benchmark for similar projects in educational settings.
In December 2024, we carried out a domestic demolition contract in Woking, where we were required to clear a two-storey house and a garage to pave the way for a new building. The project had some challenges, including limited site access and the client’s demand for eco-friendly waste disposal.
Instead of conventional skip-hire, Feltham Demolition used their grab-hire facility, whereby a lorry with a reach hydraulic arm was used. This was perfect for the limited space and allowed the crew to clear the site in a day without disrupting adjacent properties.
Demolition rubbish was all transported to Feltham Demolition yard to be sorted and recycled in large quantities. Salvageable bricks were cleaned and processed for re-use on local building sites, while concrete was reduced to aggregate for driveway and foundations. Reusable timber was put aside to be refurbished for use on new projects, helping the company maintain its sustainable practices.
The scheme yielded impressive dividends: the site was cleared successfully, allowing for the immediate commencement of the construction activities, and environmental objectives realized through extensive recycling. The client benefited from cost savings through the successful single-operation procedure.
This success demonstrates how innovative waste management strategies can successfully balance efficiency of operations with environmental care and set a standard for domestic demolition contracts in Woking.

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 Woking, such as:
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.

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.
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 big cities, where many of the houses are built very close together, a house demolition can occasionally take up to 2 weeks.

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.
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.
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.

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:
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 Woking. For any questions and queries, please contact us.
