Quick answer

What does a demolition contractor do, and what has to happen before they start?

A demolition contractor takes down structures, strips out interiors and clears sites, typically £1,000–£10,000 for domestic work. Before anything is touched, two things are required: an asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey for any building predating 2000, and notice to the local authority under the Building Act. Licensed asbestos removal is a separate, HSE-licensed trade.

Demolition Contractor workmanship in Stafford

Demolition Contractor terms explained — Stafford glossary

CDM 2015(CDM)
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, which assign legal duties for planning and managing construction risk. On domestic projects the duties usually pass to the contractor, but the client still has obligations, and demolition is explicitly high-risk work.
Refurbishment and Demolition Survey(R&D survey)
The intrusive asbestos survey required before demolition or major refurbishment of any building constructed or refurbished before 2000. It is more invasive than a management survey and is a legal precondition, not an optional extra.
Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor(LARC)
A contractor licensed by the HSE to remove higher-risk asbestos such as sprayed coatings, lagging and most insulating board. Non-licensed work has a narrower scope; if a demolition firm offers to remove everything themselves, ask which licence they hold.
Section 80 Notice(S80)
The notice of intended demolition served on the local authority under the Building Act 1984, which then issues a counter-notice setting conditions such as making good party walls and capping services. Work should not start before it is discharged.
