frequently asked questions
Modern companies in London apply “deconstruction” principles—buildings are dismantled carefully so that as many materials as possible are recycled or reused. This reduces waste and carbon footprint, and special techniques are used to minimize harmful emissions and protect the environment.
The duration depends on the building’s size and complexity, as well as surrounding infrastructure. To minimize disruption, work is scheduled during less busy hours, local residents and businesses are informed in advance, and all environmental and noise regulations are strictly followed.
- Site preparation and securing the area
- Obtaining permits and notifying authorities
- Disconnecting utilities (water, gas, electricity)
- Survey for hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos)
- Controlled, phased demolition of the building
- Sorting, removal, and recycling of waste
- Final cleaning and handover of the site
Before demolition begins, a structural survey of the building and nearby properties is conducted. Modern monitoring equipment is used to track movement and potential risks, and demolition methods are adapted as needed. The site is secured with fencing and access control, and neighboring structures are supported and protected if necessary.
Specialists use water sprays, dust nets, and other equipment to minimize dust. Appropriate demolition methods are chosen to limit noise, and all noise regulations are strictly followed. Waste management is a priority—materials like concrete, metal, and wood are recycled, often achieving up to 98% recycling rates. Measures are also taken to prevent the spread of hazardous substances such as asbestos and chemicals.
In most cases, you must notify your local authority in writing under Section 80 of the Building Act 1984 at least six weeks before starting demolition. Notification is not required for internal demolition in occupied buildings, small structures under 50 cubic meters, greenhouses, sheds, and some agricultural buildings. After submitting the notification, the council will specify safety and environmental requirements.
It depends on the contents. Drawers with clothes can usually be left as they are, but heavy items like books should be packed separately. High-value items, cash, and jewelry should always be transported personally by the owner.
Many removals companies offer flexible storage solutions for short or long term. They can also arrange disposal of unwanted furniture or household items, usually for an extra fee.
Yes, additional fees may apply for things like the London Congestion Charge Zone, Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), parking permits, tolls, or ferry fees. These are usually not included in the standard quote and are the customer’s responsibility.
Yes, most reputable removals companies provide packing and unpacking services, using quality materials to ensure the safety of your belongings. Some also offer packing materials for sale or rent.
A typical removals service includes loading all your items, securing and protecting your belongings during transport, disassembling and reassembling furniture if needed, and placing everything in the right rooms at your new property.
Ideally, you should contact removal companies 4–6 weeks ahead of your move, especially if you plan to move during busy periods like weekends or summer. However, some companies can accommodate last-minute bookings if their schedule allows.
