Who we help
Safe, controlled demolition for any project
Foundation Site Clearance offers professional demolition services for homeowners, landowners, developers, and businesses. We remove old buildings, foundations, and pavements safely, leaving your site clear and ready for the next stage of your project.
The basics
What is demolition?
Demolition is the process of taking down and removing old or unwanted structures. This can include buildings, sheds, outbuildings, concrete foundations, and hard surfaces like driveways or pavements.
Demolition is often the first step in a larger building or redevelopment project. Done properly, it clears the site fully and safely, ready for new construction or other work.

How we work
Five clear stages, from site visit to clearance
- 01
Site visit
We visit your site to see what needs to come down, and check for anything that could affect the work, such as nearby structures, access, or utilities.
- 02
Planning and permissions
We check whether any permissions are needed before demolition begins, and plan the safest way to carry out the work.
- 03
Risk assessment and method statement
We prepare a full risk assessment and method statement, setting out exactly how the demolition will be carried out safely.
- 04
Demolition work
Our team carries out the demolition using the right methods and equipment for the structure and site.
- 05
Waste removal and site clearance
All demolition waste is sorted, removed, and disposed of correctly, leaving the site clean and ready for the next stage.
