Our Demolition Services for the Hertfordshire Area
General Demolition and Soft Strips
One of the services offered by DES is soft strip demolition. This involves removing any non-structural components from a building that are not essential for structural integrity such as doors, windows, ceilings, acoustic barriers and more. This process prepares a property for total demolition or renovation.
Land Remediation
Land remediation is the act of reclaiming polluted land by removing toxins. The process requires expertise in all relevant laws as well as the collaboration of multiple specialists. The end goal is to ensure that land no longer poses a hazard to ecosystems, the environment or human health.
Site Clearance
Site clearance is the removal of hazardous materials, including large obstacles and barriers, waste, debris and recyclable items. The goal of site clearance is to create a safe environment prior to demolition, construction or major renovation work.
Strip Outs
Strip out or ‘hard strip’ is the process of removing bigger and more integral structures and fixtures from the interior and exterior of a property and may include removing sections of walls, floors, ceilings and stairways, partitions, mezzanines and other structural elements for new installation or total demolition.

What is a demolition contractor?
Demolition contractors are experts in the planning and execution of demolition projects, such as the dismantling and removal of physical structures or any other type of building. To minimise the negative effects on the neighbourhood and environment, demolition contractors collaborate with architects, engineers and other experts to plan and then execute the demolition of a property.
They adhere to the rules and regulations pertaining to the demolition industry and guarantee the proper removal and disposal of debris. In addition to site preparation prior to demolition and clean up after the process, specialised demolition contractors are also involved in salvaging and recycling resources from demolished buildings wherever possible.
