Straight answersQuestions

Working in Bury.

What demolition work do you do in Bury?

Across Bury (BL9) it is mostly industrial and works demolition, terraced clearance, strip outs and crushing on site, along with the crushing, recycling and muck away that goes with all of it. Bury carries a lot of former cotton mill and industrial stock, which means large masonry and steel framed structures, party walls shared with terraces that are still lived in, and material worth reclaiming rather than skipping. 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 Bury?

No. Bury is about 26 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 Bury?

Yes. Bury sits on the edge of Greater Manchester and most of what comes from there is industrial units and works buildings rather than housing. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find in buildings around Bury Market, 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 Bury change the job?

It does, and in Bury it decides the method more than anything else. The mill and works buildings are heavy masonry or steel frame, often four or five storeys, and they are frequently attached to terraces that are still occupied. That pushes the job toward high reach demolition from the ground rather than a gang working inside a structure being taken apart, and it makes the party wall the most delicate part of the whole thing. The upside is the material: mill stone, handmade brick and structural steel out of a Bury building are all worth recovering rather than crushing, and that comes off the price.

Can you handle the disconnections and the paperwork in Bury?

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 Bury 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 Bury?

Bury is around 26 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.
