What is robotic demolition?
Robotic demolition is breaking out concrete and masonry using a remote-controlled machine. The operator controls it from a distance rather than standing at the work.
The machines are compact, so they suit tight spaces, internal work and jobs where hand-held breaking isn't practical.
What it's used for
- Breaking out concrete
- Demolition in tight or restricted spaces
- Taking out sections of slab, wall or structure
- Internal demolition and strip-out
- Jobs where hand-held breaking isn't suitable
How a job goes
- We look at the access and what needs to come out.
- The machine is brought to the work area.
- The operator controls it remotely and breaks out the concrete or masonry.
- The broken material is cleared and the area is ready for the next stage.
Things to know before you book
Access matters: the width and weight of the machine decide where it can go. Tell us about door sizes, routes and floor loadings.
Breaking concrete is noisy and dusty whatever the method. Tell us about any limits on noise, dust and working hours.
Demolition of anything structural should be planned with a structural engineer, including the order the work is done in.
We're a father and son team, fully insured, and we hold CSCS, IPAF and PASMA tickets. We work all over the UK.
Robotic Demolition questions
What is robotic demolition?
Demolition with a remote-controlled machine, with the operator working from a distance.
Can it be used indoors?
Compact machines are often used inside. Tell us about the access and we'll advise.
Do I need an engineer?
Demolishing structural elements should be planned with a structural engineer.
Why use a remote-controlled machine?
The operator isn't standing at the break-out point, and the machine does the heavy repetitive work. That suits long, heavy or awkward jobs.
Is it noisy?
Breaking concrete is noisy however it's done. Tell us about any limits on noise and working hours.
What can it break out?
Concrete, brick, stone and other hard materials. Tell us what needs to come out and we'll confirm.
