ADS Demolition Architectural Salvage

ADS Demolition Architectural Salvage specialises in the dismantling of old and dilapidated buildings, with a strong focus on reclaiming valuable period materials such as bricks and timbers. They offer comprehensive commercial demolition services, alongside site clearance and efficient stripping-out services. A significant part of their work involves the safe and complete removal of asbestos-containing materials before demolition or refurbishment can commence.

The company also engages in metal reclamation, keen to undertake projects with substantial ferrous and non-ferrous metal content. With a commitment to sustainability, ADS Demolition aims to recycle at least 85% of demolition materials, processing timber waste for animal bedding or biomass, and separating other recyclables like plasterboard and UPVC window frames. They employ reputable waste transfer companies to further reduce landfill quantities.

Following above-ground demolition, they can lift concrete floor slabs and excavate underground obstructions, crushing hardcore for reuse or disposal. They are also mindful of conservation issues, having worked with specialists to safely remove wildlife, such as bats, from properties before asbestos removal. The company prides itself on finishing contracts in good time and leaving tidy sites, providing full method statements and risk assessments at the onset of all contracts, backed by sufficient insurance.

They are experienced in reclaiming architectural antiques from Georgian, Victorian, and pre-war 20th Century buildings, processing these items for resale. ADS Demolition also undertakes metal reclamation from steel-framed buildings or office blocks undergoing refurbishment, aiming to achieve high resale prices for recovered metals.
