Demolition Contractors Based in Sevenoaks, Serving Kent & the South East

At South East Groundworks Ltd, we offer safe, structured demolition services across Sevenoaks, Kent, and the wider South East. Whether you need a garage cleared before excavation begins, or an old building dismantled to prepare for redevelopment, our team delivers every project with professionalism, care, and strict compliance with health and safety regulations.

Demolition is a high-risk service. That’s why we only offer it alongside our groundworks and site enabling services, where it fits within a larger project scope. This ensures the site is fully prepared for the next stage of construction — with all demolition risks already accounted for.

Safe, Controlled Demolition Services

We specialise in non-explosive and mechanical demolition, suitable for:

Sheds, garages, extensions, and outbuildings
Redundant commercial or domestic structures
Site preparation ahead of groundworks

All work is carried out in structured phases, with careful planning and ongoing supervision. Our team uses a combination of manual tools and heavy machinery to methodically dismantle structures — avoiding uncontrolled collapse or secondary damage.

Demolition Risk Assessment: What We Check

Every demolition job begins with a full risk assessment. Our operatives identify all potential hazards to ensure site safety throughout. This includes:

Uncontrolled structural collapse
Fire hazards from utilities
Presence of hazardous materials (e.g. asbestos, lead)
Noise, dust and vibration levels
Falling debris or loose materials
Worker welfare, briefings, and PPE
Nearby footpaths, roads, or occupied buildings

All RAMS are completed and signed off before site mobilisation.

Tools & Machinery We Use

We use a combination of manual demolition tools and specialist plant based on site access, building height, and project complexity:

Sledgehammers – For internal walls or structural elements
Excavators with hydraulic breakers – Efficient for garages or outbuildings
Bulldozers – Used where space allows and ground conditions suit
High-reach demolition excavators – Ideal for taller structures where explosives are unsuitable

Our machines are fitted with attachments such as shears, grapples and pulverisers to tailor the method to the structure.

Where We Work

Although we’re proudly based in Sevenoaks, our demolition teams operate throughout:

Kent (Tonbridge, Maidstone, Dartford, Tunbridge Wells)
Surrey (Croydon, Oxted)
Sussex (East Grinstead, Crawley)

FAQs

Can you remove waste from site?

Yes. All demolition waste is sorted and either recycled or removed via licensed waste carriers.

Do I need permission for demolition?

In many cases, yes. We can help guide you through the planning or notice process depending on your local authority.

How long does demolition take?

It depends on the building type, size, and material. Small garages or extensions can be cleared in days, while larger structures take longer.
