Demolition

Asbestos is hazardous to health. The removal and handling of asbestos should only be carried out by trained and licensed professionals.

‍

Morrisroe Demolition is licensed to undertake asbestos removal and can offer this as a stand-alone service or as a preliminary aspect of a full soft strip or demolition package.  

‍

Asbestos was used extensively in buildings built in the 1950s and although it is now banned, it can be found in buildings built before 2000. Asbestos therefore remains a significant risk during the demolition and dismantling process. We provide asbestos surveys and reports, update registers, and we can provide expert advice and guidance on aspects from compliance with legislation to advice about the safe removal methodology as well as budgetary/cost planning support and related project management.

‍

We have been licensed for over two decades to provide a complete asbestos removal and disposal service and our highly trained asbestos removal team can be relied on to provide clients with safe, highly efficient and dependable asbestos removal solutions.

Our soft strip services can be delivered as a stand-alone service or as part of a broader package of demolition works.

‍

Clients often select this service to de-rate buildings and reduce overhead cost.  Increasingly, our soft strip solutions play a central role in the sustainability strategies of our clients in relation to reuse and circularity. We recover wide ranging materials for recycling and reuse, from floor tiles to partition walls, suspended ceilings, mechanical and engineering services and non-load bearing elements of the structure. We can also carry out the removal and disposal of redundant plant for a full-service soft strip offering.

‍

Our highly trained team can be relied on to provide safe, efficient and sustainable soft strip solutions.

We deliver demolition and enabling packages of all sizes and offer a wide range of solutions for all sectors from residential high- and low-rise demolition to industrial units and sporting venues.

‍

We pride ourselves on our ability to innovate. We have been leading the way in relation to providing circular economy solutions which maximise the reuse potential of existing structures. We can provide controlled deconstruction solutions to enable clients to recover permanent structural elements for reuse; a process known as ‘urban mining.'

‍

We use predictive modelling to understand the environmental impact of each of our schemes and can offer tailor-made solutions to minimise the impact of our works on the local area. Our team works hard to establish open and collaborative relationships with local communities and other stakeholders affected by our work.

The need to retain historic, listed and/or architecturally unique building facades and structures whilst equipping them for modern business and residential use requirements has fuelled a growth in demand for complex façade retention solutions. We can provide comprehensive facade retention and jacking services to preserve part or all of a structure. Retention schemes can be designed to facilitate internal refurbishment and/or onward construction.

‍

Our in-house engineering team have the technical knowledge and capability to select the most suitable façade retention scheme which may involve structural steelwork, scaffold or modular formwork systems. We work closely with clients and the project engineering team from the outset, providing initial surveys, detailed designs and calculations.

‍

We have specialised systems for monitoring the structure to provide optimum protection throughout the project programme.

We aim to provide integrated temporary works solutions that take account of future phases of work. We have in-house design capability within Morrisroe Demolition as well as the ability to draw up on the significant resource ans expertise within Kingscote Design to provide a comprehensive range of temporary works designs for the demolition requirement.

‍

Temporary works solutions include facade retention, scaffold design, ongoing inspection, excavation support, party wall solutions and falsework design.

‍

We carry out thorough investigations and analysis in relation to structural integrity to determine the most suitable and coordinated temporary works solutions, taking into account the onward construction needs of the client. These can be integrated with the permanent structure or new structural works.

‍

Our ability to provide integrated temporary works solutions across a broader package of specialist works is one of a number of reasons our clients can see the value in our ‘integrated offer.'

Structural alterations are an increasing area of interest for many of our clients who wish to repurpose their existing stock. We can draw upon our own in-house design capabilities as well as those of Kingscote Design to develop suitable solutions.

‍

We can also offer a full refurbishment service which may include structural alterations, structural strengthening, façade repairs/strengthening and internal finishes.

As part of a broader demolition package, we can deliver a range of excavation works, which may involve undertaking a reduced level dig, bulk excavation and associated temporary works. We are also registered waste carriers.

‍

We can deliver a full suite of groundworks and substructure solutions, from conception to completion. We can also draw upon Morrisroe’s extensive substructure capabilities for larger substructure packages.
