Safe, controlled demolition services for residential and commercial properties across Cambridge & East Anglia. Full demolition, partial demolition & structural alterations. Fully insured. CHAS Elite accredited.
GCS Contractors Ltd provides professional demolition services across Cambridge, Cambridgeshire and East Anglia. From single garage demolitions to large commercial buildings, our experienced team carries out all demolition work safely, efficiently and in full compliance with CDM Regulations and local authority requirements.
Every demolition project is different. We prepare detailed method statements and risk assessments for each job, considering the building structure, adjacent properties, underground services, asbestos and environmental factors. Our approach prioritises safety, minimises disruption to neighbours and maximises material recycling.
Complete demolition of residential houses, bungalows, commercial buildings, industrial units, farm buildings and outbuildings. We manage the entire process from pre-demolition surveys and utility disconnections through to demolition, material processing and site clearance. The site is left clean, level and ready for the next phase — whether that’s new build groundworks or site clearance.
Careful removal of specific building elements while retaining the remaining structure. This includes removing internal walls, reducing building height, creating new openings, removing extensions and taking down party walls. We install temporary propping and structural support as required by the structural engineer.
Demolition of houses, garages, garden walls, conservatories, sheds, swimming pools and other residential structures. We understand the sensitivities of working in residential areas and take care to minimise noise, dust and disruption. We protect neighbouring properties, gardens and driveways throughout the work.
Demolition of offices, retail units, warehouses, factories and industrial buildings. We handle complex demolitions involving steel frames, reinforced concrete, asbestos, contaminated land and live services. Our team has experience with demolition in town centres, business parks and industrial estates.
Before demolition begins, we carry out a thorough internal strip-out to remove hazardous materials, recyclable items and reusable fixtures. This maximises recycling rates and ensures compliance with waste regulations.
We provide demolition services across Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Huntingdon, St Neots, Royston, Peterborough, Bury St Edmunds and all of Cambridgeshire and East Anglia.
In most cases, you need to submit a demolition notice to the local authority under Section 80 of the Building Act. Some demolitions in conservation areas require planning permission. We can advise on the requirements for your specific project and handle the paperwork.
Costs vary depending on the size, type and location of the building. A single garage demolition might cost £1,500–£3,000, while a house demolition could range from £8,000–£25,000. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all demolition projects.
An asbestos refurbishment and demolition (R&D) survey is required before any demolition work. We arrange this as part of our service. Any asbestos found is removed by licensed contractors before demolition begins.
