Why is demolition a specialist’s job? “Your average builder will not know how to plant explosives or safely knock down a building using a wrecking ball in an urban area, so someone specially trained has to undertake the job,” explains Wielgus.Buildings can be demolished by hand (taken apart brick by brick), using heavy machinery or explosives. “There are different risks involved with each and a lot of paperwork is required – method statements, risk assessments, and health and safety plans amongst others,” continues Wielgus. “There is also the matter of insurance cover and potential of salvaging, reusing and recycling,” he adds. “If you want to purely demolish something, seek a specialist contractor who has the equipment, experience and insurance to do it.”
