We are early adopters of demolition methodology, waste management and recycling.

We provide buildings with the strongest foundations for change and ensure new projects have the best possible start.
We have history...
Starting as a small team of specialists led by Colin McLoughlin in the 1970s, we helped to demolish air raid shelters and structures. Despite the turbulent years that followed, including economic recessions and climate challenges, General Demolition built a strong reputation and was known as the helping hand in progressing and laying the foundations for rebuilding across the city of London.
Over the years we have had the privilege of working on many iconic buildings in streets rich with history, as well as on exciting new city developments. We are proud of the part we play have played and continue to play in enabling the future of the built environment.
Early pioneers of recycling, we have always understood the value of reuse and recycling. After opening our very own Waste Resource Centre in 1995, our focus on recycling and reuse has grown stronger ever since. Recycling and responsible waste management quickly became a core operation of the company, and we always strive for the most sustainable methods of demolition and strip out in all of our projects.
Our values are more than just words to us.
Our values are important to us. They are evident in all our operations and shape our approach to strategic decisions as well as the delivery of all our projects.
