Hughes and Salvidge have been providing a UK wide decommissioning and demolition service since 1964.

As an audited member of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors, our clients are assured of a well-managed, safe and environmentally considerate demolition project.

To ensure we complete decommissioning and demolition projects safely and to the highest standards, we work to BS6187:2000 and place particular emphasis on training and keeping our techniques and working practices completely up to date. Hughes and Salvidge are also ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environment) accredited providing us with a fully integrated management system. It also illustrates to our clients our commitment to outstanding working practices as well as full regulatory compliance.

Demolition of a building or structure requires careful consideration. Depending on the size and position of the structure, whether it contains asbestos or precious metals, whether it is a steel frame or concrete frame etc, different methods of demolition may be employed which in some cases may involve explosive demolition.

Prior to the commencement of any decommissioning or demolition project, Hughes and Salvidge prepare a comprehensive method statement to address any risk elements and provide a method to work to. The estimating team will identify the materials that are to be reclaimed, recycled, re-used or disposed of off-site. They will calculate approximate tonnages or volumes of these materials and have definite costs and final destinations for these materials. As some reclaimed metals are very valuable it is imperative that we achieve the best value for these as this is generally credited to the client in one form or another.

Once a building has been dismantled or demolished we recycle the arisings, using them to backfill areas on sites or we sell the aggregates to be re-used elsewhere. Enhanced by the complementary offerings of our sister companies, K&B Crushers, Aasvogel Waste Management and H&S Metals, we are able to accurately forecast waste and aim to recycle over 95% of all demolition arisings.
