Straight answersQuestions

Working in Blackpool.

What demolition work do you do in Blackpool?

Across Blackpool (FY1) it is mostly hotel and guest house demolition, strip outs and clearance on tight seafront and back street plots, along with the crushing, recycling and muck away that goes with all of it. Blackpool is largely hotels, guest houses and older seafront property on narrow plots and sandy ground, so the take-down sequence and the state the ground is left in both need settling before anything comes down. Every job starts with somebody coming to look at the building rather than a price guessed from a description.

Do you charge extra to come out to Blackpool?

No. Blackpool is about 27 miles out, which is still a normal run for us, so there is no travel charge added. Jobs that far tend to get programmed as a continuous run rather than fitted around work closer to home, which is worth knowing when you are picking a start date.

Do you cover Blackpool?

Yes. Blackpool is largely hotels and older seafront property packed onto narrow plots, so the take-down sequence usually matters more than the machine size. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find in buildings around Promenade, what is likely to need doing before a machine can start, and roughly where you sit in the diary.

Does the type of building in Blackpool change the job?

It does. Blackpool is mostly hotels, guest houses and older seafront and back street property on narrow plots, usually joined to the building either side. Take-downs there are sequenced so the neighbouring gables stay supported and are made weathertight the same week rather than left open to the weather off the sea. The ground is the other thing: sandy, often with old cellars and lightweight foundations under it, so what turns up when the slab comes out is worth allowing for.

Can you handle the disconnections and the paperwork in Blackpool?

Yes, and it is usually what sets the start date rather than the demolition itself. We identify what is live, raise the gas, electric, water and telecoms disconnections with the network operators and chase them through, serve the Section 80 notice on the council, and work to the asbestos survey. You get the waste transfer notes back at the end. On a Blackpool job that admin often runs longer than the machine time, which is why it gets started the day the job is agreed.

How soon could you start in Blackpool?

Blackpool is around 27 miles from the yard, so getting out to survey and price is quick. The actual start depends on the utility disconnections, any consent the building needs and where the machines are, which is normally a few weeks rather than a few days. We would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one, so ring and we will tell you what the next honest slot looks like.
