BIBBEGAN DEMOLITION & STRIP OUT
Our position at the forefront of an exciting industry is underpinned by an exceptional reputation among our clients. We are proud of our proven ability to deliver a range of demolition contracts in a safe, timely, environmentally-sensitive and cost-effective manner. We serve both private and public-sector clients and have been appointed on numerous projects by local authorities, developers, house builders, contractors, architects, quantity surveyors, project managers, facilities managers and consulting engineers.
STRIP OUT & DE-RATING
BibbEgan Demolition & Strip Out Ltd provides a specialist service in stripping out and de-rating buildings, where organisation and precision works are essential. We focus on work in London and the Home Counties, but can supply services further afield on request.
Ever-changing regulations determining business rates make full decommissioning of buildings a viable option for landlords when the rental market nosedives. It can be a costly exercise to leave an existing structure empty. When all the non-structural elements are removed, making a building unusable, it can be zero-rated. In this uncertain economic climate, there is considerable demand for our services.
In the first instance, we provide a site waste management plan and, on completion, a comprehensive report, detailing the waste removed, its destinations and how much is recycled. We aim to recycle over 95% of all waste removed from every strip-out project.
Our team has experienced project coordinators and manager plus over 20 site supervisors to offer a complete solution for your strip-out requirements, either as part of a major building refurbishment programme or de-rating of a building. We offer pre-works site surveys, isolations, diversions, and disconnection and removal of utilities (gas, electricity, water and telecommunications). Our interior stripping activities include the removal of:
- All floor coverings
- Computer floors
- Non-load bearing partitions
- Suspended Ceilings
- Render and Plaster removal
- Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) systems including lighting, cables, cable trays, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (including de-gassing)
- Lift removal
DECONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION
An award-winning reputation in the industry ensures that, with BibbEgan, you will always be offered the highest standard of demolition solutions. Our teams have many years’ experience and excellent industry knowledge; all take advantage of our status as CPD provider to develop their expertise. This, combined with a highly dedicated and skilled workforce, enables us to complete even the most complex and challenging projects safely, successfully, within budget and on time.
In an industry that has advanced exponentially in the last decade with pioneering methods and machinery, constantly evolving legislation, and codes of practice, we are always aware that the safety both of our operatives and the public is paramount.
With each one of our projects, we are mindful of the need to minimise disruption to nearby businesses and neighbourhoods, and to the environment in general. It is a matter of pride to us that 95% of the materials removed from all our sites is either reused or recycled, reducing to near zero the need to use costly and environmentally damaging land-fill.
To achieve the desired outcome requires a high degree of planning and innovation to overcome the technical challenges, alongside a careful and co-ordinated approach, in collaboration with the local community, government agencies and other stakeholders.
We offer a single-source solution, taking our clients from the project’s inception, through the demolition process itself, regardless of the complexity and value of the project, to the re-instatement of the site if required. We undertake:
Production of construction environmental management plans
Assessment by specialist demolition, structural, temporary works, and hazardous substances surveyors
Meticulous planning and selection of appropriate machinery
With every project, we strive for perfection; you are assured of industry-leading standards.
REFURBISHMENT & DEMOLITION SURVEYS
IMPORTANT: It is a legal requirement to conduct a refurbishment & demolition asbestos survey on all buildings constructed pre-2000 before any type of demolition or refurbishment work is carried out.
Anyone who is involved in building maintenance, refurbishment or demolition could be at risk if they disturb asbestos, including its removal, drilling, sanding or cutting. It’s found in many of the common materials used in building—over 3,600 products are listed. Some of these are:
- Loose asbestos in ceiling or floor cavity
- Lagging of water pipes and tanks
- Asbestos cement products like corrugated roof panels
- Sprayed coatings
- Roofing felt
- Thermal and acoustic insulation
- Fire protection on doors
- Floor tiles
- Rope seals and gaskets
Responsibility to manage risks is outlined in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), which we strictly observe. This ensures that any asbestos present is located and identified, then managed properly to prevent possible exposure.
We have a team of experienced surveyors, highly qualified to at least BOHS P402 certificate level. Our sampling services are carried out to be compliant with HSG264 and HSG248, in laboratories accredited to UKAS ISO 17020 and ISO 17025.

TEMPORARY WORKS DESIGN & INSTALATION
At BibbEgan, we have a well-earned reputation for our design and installation of temporary works—for example, structural shoring and jacking to protect the integrity of a building or adjacent infrastructure. Our expert teams take into consideration the current condition of a building, the immediate surroundings, and nearby edifices, working hard to minimise impact and optimise safety. We carry professional indemnity insurance on all temporary works design, for your peace of mind.
These works may require the input of specialist structural engineers to meet the requirements of Party Wall Awards. To comply with these agreed guidelines about how the work should progress requires an exceptional level of innovative design experience and an eye for detail.
Temporary works we undertake at BibbEgan include:
- raking props – lateral support to a single wall
- flying shores – horizontal support for parallel party walls when the building between them is removed
- diagonal struts – transfer shear to the supports
- dead shores – simple vertical support
- wailings – horizontal timber beams for side support
- king post wall – a borehole filled with concrete forming a base for an H pile
- sheet piling – steel sheets with interlocking edges to retain soil
- façade retention schemes including Kentledge
Structural steel, scaffolding and combinations of proprietary lightweight pre-formed sections are frequently used, for bespoke solutions. We manufacture most of the steelwork in our own workshops, allowing us to respond quickly to urgent and unexpected demands from our sites.
