Bringing itdownsince 1985.
Family-run demolition and excavation contractors with Cheshire’s largest reclamation yard. Over 99% of everything we bring down is recycled, reused or repurposed.
One yard.
Five businesses.
Zero waste.
We started as a building and demolition outfit on a family farm in Bosley. Today we run 37 road vehicles and 43 pieces of plant from four acres on Moss Lane — and what we take down, we put back to work.

From a mini skip on your drive to a mill coming down — it’s all handled by the same family team, the same fleet and the same yard.

01 — It comes down.
Every job starts with a survey and a method statement. Then the building comes down in a planned sequence — top first, services isolated, hazards removed.
02 — We sort it.
Back at our waste transfer station, material is separated on our picking line: brick and concrete, metal, timber, stone and slate.
03 — It goes back to work.
Rubble is crushed into 6F2 and recycled MOT. Metal goes for recycling. Sleepers, flags, slates and bricks go into our reclamation yard for your next project.

Skip or grab? How to choose
Both take your waste away. Which one saves you money depends on what the waste is, how much there is, and where it is.
Read guideDo I need a permit for my skip?
If the skip can go on your own drive, no. If it has to go on the road or pavement, yes — and we can sort it for you.

How much aggregate do I need?
Measure the area, pick a depth, and multiply by the material’s density. Or let our calculator do it.
