Websites for demolition contractors
Web design for demolition contractors: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Clients are buying a process, not a machine. Show that the paperwork will be right.
Demolition is one of the most heavily regulated things a construction client can buy, and the person appointing you knows that any failure lands on them as well. They are assessing risk before they assess price.
The work also has a public face that most trades do not: neighbours, highways, dust, noise and a structure coming down in view of people who did not choose it. A client wants to know you will handle that without it becoming their problem.
What your customers want answered
- What size and type of structures do you take down
- Do you handle the surveys, notifications and permits, or do I
- How do you deal with asbestos found on site
- How much of the material gets recycled rather than tipped
- What are your safety record and accreditations
Set out the sequence before the machines arriveRefurbishment and demolition survey, notifications to the local authority and the enforcing authority where required, service disconnections, method statement, then work. Explaining that order shows a client you work to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations rather than turning up with a breaker, which is precisely what they are afraid of.
Leading with big machinery
Photographs of plant tearing into a building are satisfying and sell nothing. The buyer is worried about asbestos, party walls, dust and a stop notice, and wants to see that those are handled.
Safety and method first
Demolition clients, from homeowners taking down a garage to developers clearing a site, want to know the job will be done safely and legally. Explain how you plan a job: surveys, method statements, managing neighbours, dust and noise, and how you deal with services such as gas and electricity before work starts.
Say which safety schemes and training your team holds, and your insurance, in a way clients can check.
Scale of work
Say what size of job you take on, from outbuildings and internal strip-outs to full structures, and whether you work for homeowners, builders or developers. A page for each kind of client keeps the message clear.
Waste and recycling
Explain what happens to the material: segregation, recycling, crushing for reuse on site where suitable, and licensed disposal. Show your waste carrier registration. Clients and planners increasingly ask about it.
If asbestos might be present, say how you handle surveys and whether you use licensed contractors for removal.
Common questions
- What should a demolition contractor's website include?
- How you plan and carry out work safely, the scale of jobs you take, your training, safety schemes and insurance, how waste is handled and recycled, your waste carrier registration, and photos of past jobs.
- Should I mention asbestos?
- Yes. Explain how asbestos surveys and removal are handled, because many older buildings contain it.
- Can clients send drawings or photos for a price?
- Yes. A form that accepts photos, drawings and the site address helps you price quickly.
