Our approach to demolition in residential areas
Site Assessment
Site assessments are a crucial first step in any demolition project. They provide the information needed for thorough project planning and assessment. We’ll take into consideration a comprehensive range of factors, such as the size and complexity of the building, whether hazardous materials are present and the potential environmental impact of our activities.
Project Planning
Using the information gathered from our initial assessment, our experts will then carefully plan our approach. This will include the demolition methods, the phases of the project and the safety protocols that we’ll put in place. From there, we can develop a realistic timeline and budget for the completion of the project. Where needed, we will arrange meetings with stakeholders to discuss our plans and provide opportunities for questions or issues.
Risk Management
Our meticulous risk management assessment enables the early identification of potential issues and enables action to be taken to address any problems so that they can be brought under control or avoided completely. For unforeseen risks, we develop contingency plans that enable our team to adapt quickly and efficiently to unexpected situations, minimising downtime and maintaining project efficiency.
Regular Communication
Throughout any residential demolition project, we prioritise clear and regular communication with local residents. Keeping the local community informed of works and addressing any concerns in advance of activity on site to minimise the risk of any negative outcomes and maintain good community relations.
Demolition Work Commences
With a thoroughly considered approach in place, our team will then begin the demolition work according to the approved plan. We leverage our strategic investment in advanced demolition techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the work is completed efficiently, safely, and with a sustainable approach.
Environmental Protection and Monitoring
Hughes and Salvidge are committed to being a responsible demolition company and we actively manage our environmental impact throughout each project. We put measures in place to ensure that we minimise our impact on the environment. We’ll monitor air quality, noise levels and water runoff to prevent the contamination of surrounding areas.
Waste Management and Recycling
We prioritise responsible waste management on all projects we undertake. A comprehensive site waste management plan ensures a streamlined approach, saving time and resources throughout the demolition process. We aim to achieve 97% recycling of demolition waste. For any non-recyclable materials, we guarantee proper disposal and maintain meticulous records of all waste removed from the site.
Site Clearance and Clean Up
Once the demolition phase is complete, the next step is to clear the site and remove any remaining debris and rubble from the site. This crucial step ensures the site is prepared for its next chapter. Our experts will ensure that the site is clear of contaminants and harmful waste, safeguarding the environment and paving the way for future development.

Any complaints or concerns are managed by the SLO to ensure complete satisfaction of all stakeholders.
Steps We Take To Minimise Disruption & Keep The Public Safe
The main issues that tend to concern the general public during demolition projects are noise, dust, vibration, access and mud on roads. To mitigate these potential issues, we can put the following measures in place.
Site Hoarding
Erecting secure hoarding around the site to ensure safety and reduce visual impact.
Scaffolding and Debris Netting
Installing scaffolding and debris netting on structures adjacent to main public thoroughfares to contain debris and ensure safety.
Advanced Equipment Use
Utilising large machinery with concrete pulverisers to minimise the use of noisy breakers.
Dust Control
Employing hoses and Dust Boss systems to spray water and reduce dust emissions.
Environmental Monitoring
Conducting regular noise, dust, and vibration monitoring throughout the project.
Traffic Management Plans
Pre-planning traffic movements to avoid peak times and minimise congestion.
Road Closure Notifications
Providing prior notification of any formal road closures, coordinated with the client and the highways department.
Pedestrian Access
Ensuring unhindered and safe pedestrian access around the site.
Vehicle Cleaning
Using jet washes on the wheels of vehicles leaving the site to prevent mud from being carried onto roads.
Road Cleaning
Deploying road sweepers to keep surrounding roads clean and free of debris.
By taking these proactive steps, we aim to minimise disruption and ensure the safety and well-being of the public throughout the demolition process.
