Squibb Demolition celebrated 60 years in the demolition business in 2008.   Founded by Harry Squibb in Stepney, east London, the company has come a long way since the removal of rubbish by horse and cart. The modern day Squibb Demolition, whilst still a family business, has moved to recently reconstructed facilities in Barking, owns all its own heavy plant and transport, employs over 160 people and is recognised as one of the leading Demolition Contractors and Asbestos experts in the UK.
 
Demolition
 
Demolition is the removal of a structure and the clearance of its arisings by an environmentally secure method in order to provide for potential further development of the site. 
 
Squibb Demolition are able to assess and determine the quickest, most economical and, of course, safest solution to clients demolition needs, considering all methods of demolition. Some structures may require careful picking apart in order to preserve listed elements or to retain the facades. The same careful consideration will be given to city centre structures, airport terminals, petrochemical works, car manufacturing plants, or a domestic dwelling.  
  
Whilst based in London and an approved contractor for many Local Authorities, Squibb Demolition works nationally with many of the top industrial and commercial corporations, as well as the leading constructors, house builders, property and development companies.
 
Soft stripping buildings prior to refurbishment and complete decommissioning for rating purposes are included in the Squibb repertoire.

Squibb Demolition are holders of a licence that enables them to work with materials containing asbestos. The company offers a complete identification, removal and disposal service, using their own sealed dedicated containers. Building surveys will be undertaken by Squibb’s own asbestos specialists who will provide a comprehensive identification and action report.

Demolition is potentially one of the most dangerous and hazardous industrial operations. Squibb Demolition have an exceptional record in looking after their people and the general public because of the management dedication to ensuring that all staff and operatives are appropriately trained to carry out their obligations safely.
