At Widdington Recycling, we understand that when disaster strikes, fast action is critical. Recently, we were called out to a fire-damaged property that needed urgent attention. The building had become unsafe, with hazardous materials present, and our job was to make the site secure, safe, and usable again. This project highlighted the importance of quick mobilisation, professional demolition services, and the expertise of our trained operators.
When we received the call about the fire-damaged building, our team moved into action immediately. Every hour counts in situations like this—not only to protect public safety but also to allow the property owners to begin the process of recovery. Our experienced operators arrived on site fully equipped, and after carrying out the necessary risk assessments, we began work without delay.
On this project, our demolition team carried out several essential tasks to restore safety and prepare the site for future use:
Demolition work, especially on fire-damaged properties, carries unique risks. Safety is always our top priority. Before starting, we completed comprehensive risk assessments, put control measures in place, and ensured our operatives were fully protected with the correct personal protective equipment (PPE). Our clients can be confident that we follow all industry best practices and UK safety standards, every single time.
We pride ourselves on delivering reliable demolition and site clearance services across our local area. Whether you are dealing with an emergency situation like this, or planning a scheduled demolition project, our team provides:
This project reinforced the importance of an all-in-one demolition solution. By managing asbestos removal, demolition, and site clearance under one roof, we reduced delays, kept costs predictable, and gave the property owners peace of mind. Our ability to act quickly and complete the job efficiently meant the site could be safely handed back in a matter of days rather than weeks.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the size and type of property, you may need prior approval from your local council. We can advise on this as part of our service.

For urgent situations like fire damage, we can mobilise within hours. For planned projects, we’ll work with you to schedule demolition at the most convenient time.
Not always, but many buildings constructed before the year 2000 may contain asbestos in insulation, roofing, or flooring. Our licensed team can test and safely remove asbestos where needed.
