What comes up in Newcastle

3 conditions, and each one is handled differently

Every site is scoped on the day. The table is what the work usually involves here rather than a statement about any particular property.

Former industrial site

Where what is under the slab is a question rather than an assumption, and the answer sets the price of everything after it.

How it is handled
Survey, disconnections, soft strip, structure, then the ground tested and classified before it moves, with remediation on the same contract where it is needed.
What does it
Large excavator with a shear or grapple, hammer for the slab, lined trucks where required.

Terrace or semi near the centre

Attached older housing on narrow streets where the neighbour stays standing.

How it is handled
Party wall propped and made weatherproof, hand demolition at the junction, and loads sequenced against the machine because there is nowhere to stockpile.
What does it
Hand tools and small plant at the boundary, tippers at the kerb.

Attached and shared structures

Semis, terraces, duplexes and shopfronts joined to something that stays standing. The job is as much about what is retained as what is removed.

How it is handled
Propping and support to the retained side, hand demolition at the junction, then the wall made weatherproof and left in a condition the neighbour can live with.
What does it
Hand tools and small plant at the junction, with a machine used only where it is safe to do so.

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Industrial and post-industrial land Which makes contaminated ground and fill of unknown origin considerations rather than hypotheticals.
  • Dense older housing close to the centre Terraces and semis with shared walls, where partial and hand demolition are routine.
  • Commercial and heritage stock Where what can be removed is a planning question before it is a demolition one.
  • Good heavy vehicle access on the industrial side And much tighter streets through the older residential suburbs.

Newcastle splits in two for access. The industrial land takes anything; the older residential streets near the centre are narrow, often one way, and truck standing has to be arranged rather than assumed.

What we do in Newcastle

Five service groups, one contract

Most jobs need more than one of these. Quoted together they share a mobilisation, a programme and one set of truck movements instead of three contractors waiting on each other.

Newcastle questions

What people ask before we start

How do you handle ground that might be contaminated?
It is tested and classified before it moves, then taken to a facility licensed to receive that classification. On former industrial land here that is a normal part of the job, and remediation can be quoted on the same contract.
Can you demolish a terrace without damaging the neighbour?
Yes. The party wall is propped and supported, the roof junction detailed, and the wall left weatherproof. The demolition at the boundary is done by hand rather than with a machine.
How do you handle ground that might be contaminated?
It is tested and classified before it moves, then taken to a facility licensed to receive that classification. On former industrial land around Newcastle this is a normal part of the job rather than an exception, and remediation can be quoted on the same contract.
Is Max licensed for the asbestos removal itself?
Max holds the demolition licence, AD214737. The asbestos removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists, and the air monitoring and clearance by an independent licensed assessor. The whole pathway is managed as one job so you are not coordinating three contractors.
