Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work within Tavistock's conservation areas?
Yes, much of Tavistock town centre is within conservation areas, and we're experienced in sensitive demolition work that meets planning requirements while respecting the town's UNESCO-recognised mining heritage.
Can you handle demolition on the edge of Dartmoor?
Absolutely. We regularly work on properties at the Dartmoor fringe, understanding the National Park considerations and environmental sensitivities involved in demolition near protected landscapes.
What areas around Tavistock do you cover?
We cover all of Tavistock and the surrounding West Devon area including Yelverton, Bere Alston, Horrabridge, Mary Tavy, Peter Tavy, and the Dartmoor edge villages.
Can you access remote farm buildings?
Yes, we have experience reaching rural properties via narrow lanes and farm tracks. We assess access during our initial survey and select appropriate equipment for the location.
Do you salvage materials from demolitions?
Where appropriate, yes. West Devon has many older buildings with quality stone, slate, and timber. We can salvage materials for reuse or resale, which often helps offset demolition costs.
