Introduction

Call Ryan on: 07866043059

Site clearance contracts require an experienced and knowledgeable demolition team. The reason for this is simple: working in enclosed spaces, demolishing a range of different internals and structures requires the team to work safely and diligently.

Because we have over 35 years’ experience, we are the specialist demolition company to contact when you require site clearance services.

Here’s what we can offer your business:

  • Internal factory clearance
  • Full site clearance
  • Specialist demolition equipment
  • We cover the South Wales Valleys, this includes the main areas such as in Rhonda Cyon Taff, Aberdare as well as throughout Caerphilly.

Which Site Clearance services do you offer?

Often light industrial units will undergo many changes of ownership. Within the building there is often a lot of steel racking, machinery, internal buildings which often need to be safely removed.

This is so that the owner can reconfigure the internal layout of building.

Old and redundant machinery might be in the way. For example, a printing press in Aberdare may need to be removed. On the other hand, in

Rhondda Cyon Taff, you might have a food manufacturing faciality that needs to old machinery safely removed.

 

Which areas do your site clearance services cover?

We cover the whole of the South Wales Valleys as well as the capital in Cardiff. We offer our services to a wide range of businesses, this can range from working in for example light industrial units, through to much larger factory units.

The work can be varied; it can range of using “burners” to take down overhead gantries. The work can also involve for example demolishing internal structures, as well as removing outdated machinery.

 

What size factories do you have experience in clearing?

The factory units we work within and around, can be all sizes. It can range from independent businesses, which are family owned though to large factory units.

 

Can you demolish the internal buildings within a factory?

Yes, often temporary buildings are constructed within the building. Sometimes these will be made of block work, sometimes even steel structures used as staff canteens are built within the building.

 

Are you capable of recycling a lot of the waste materials that will be generated?

Yes, we most certainly can. When it comes to recycling in terms of factory clearance and scrap metal recycling, often there’s a lot of steel, copper and perhaps brass that needs to be recycled.

Then there’s the aggerate waste, such as breeze blocks, we can get all of this recycled for you once mechanical demolition has taken place. A large excavator, or perhaps a JCB fitted with a 3CX arm will sometimes be used to demolish within a factory or with a warehouse.

We are in the South Wales Valleys- do you undertake contracts in that area?

Yes, we undertake work in the following areas:

  • Merthyr Tydfil
  • Aberdare
  • Brecon Beacons
  • Caerphilly

 

Can you clear out factories?

Yes, often someone purchasing a brand-new factor or retail unit, often has a lot of racking, machinery and other items, such as perhaps handrails that need removing. With large demolition excavators, it’s possible to start demolishing and dismantling these internal buildings and structures. With over 35 years’ experience, we are one of the most experienced site clearance and factory demolition companies in Wales.

 

What experience do you have in site clearance and offering factory clearance services?

Often large machinery, let’s say a printing press, its possible that large scale machinery can weight in excess of hundreds of tons in weight.

Therefore, large excavators with large counterweights are needed to demolish these structures, and these internal buildings safely.

More than just the machinery, you need a highly capable team. When you’re working within a building you have the potential for crush zones, where the counter weight of the excavator is swinging around. This is just one of the many hazards of internal demolition, others are noise pollution, dust and well as falling equipment.

We therefore have the experience of metal recycling and factory clearance work, to ensure that this work is undertaken safely.

 

What machinery is used?

Often the machinery that’s used extensively through the factory clearance and scrap metal recycling process, will be an excavator. The excavator will be used in the actual demolition process, the loading the process, and often cutting the actual steel and non-ferrous into more manage pieces.

 

How much do your factory clearance services cost?

This depends on the actual contract. Some factory clearance work can be far more extensive, take up more time. When some other factory clearance and site clearance contracts, can be within small light industrial units, sometimes the work might only take a few days to complete.

 

What about scrap metal recycling in South Wales?

Often as part of the site clearance work in Cardiff for example, there will be a lot of RSJ, light steel racking, and for example copper cable that needs to be safely removed and recycled. We have an expert team that can take care of the actual demolition work, but also all of the metal recycling as well.

 

Do you recycle the steel?

Yes, we most certainly do. The scrap metal will be sent to EMR metal recycling for further recycling of the metal waste. There scraps metal recycling yard, is actually based in Cardiff Bay right on the Docklands. Its therefore in a Brillant location for the metal to be transported to, no matter if our demolition team are in Cardiff working or perhaps, they are demolishing a factory in the South Wales Valleys.

 

Do you recycle the non-ferrous scrap metal?

Yes, non-ferrous metals, let’s say copper, lead and aluminium, need recycling at a metal recycling yard. Once again, we turn to EMR to recycle all of our metal waste. This is then used to make future products.
