Understanding Cornwall's Demolition Needs
Cornwall's unique building heritage presents specific challenges and opportunities for demolition contractors. From the granite-built engine houses of the mining era to the cob and slate cottages of rural parishes, Cornish properties require understanding and respect.
Traditional Cornish Construction
Many Cornish buildings feature thick granite walls, slate roofs, and construction methods that have stood for centuries. Our team understands how to safely demolish these structures, often salvaging valuable materials like granite lintels and Delabole slate for reuse.
Coastal Considerations
Cornwall's extensive coastline means many properties have been exposed to salt air and harsh weather. This can affect structural integrity and demolition methods. We assess each property carefully, particularly in coastal towns like Newquay, Falmouth, Penzance, and the Looe area.
Rural Access
Cornwall is famous for its narrow lanes and limited access. Our equipment range includes mini excavators and smaller machinery specifically chosen for working on properties with challenging access - essential for many rural Cornish sites.
Conservation Areas
Cornwall has numerous conservation areas and World Heritage Sites, including the Cornish Mining Landscape. We have experience working within these protected areas and can advise on the necessary permissions and sensitive approaches required.
