Ron Hull Title Bar fade
Project: Demolition of 18 no. High Rise Tower Blocks
Client: Castle Vale Housing Action Trust - Birmingham
Location: Castle Vale, Birmingham, West Midlands
Date: January 2005

Demolition of 18 no. high rise accommodation blocks over a 5 year period (commencing in 2000) within the residential area of Castle Vale, Birmingham. 

The project involved the demolition of high rise buildings, utilising high reach machines. Strict control was required for the remote demolition techniques used on the demolition of the buildings; site boundary and dust control measures were also required to ensure protection to the local residents and pedestrians.

The project was valued in excess of £9 million, and the work was carried out over a period of 5 years.

The continuation of our employment had Ministerial approval, we provided work to the local community, and established recycling of all demolition arising through local amenities. 

Through our hard work and efforts we achieved bronze awards in Considerate Constructor and Castle Vale's Contractor Of The Year Award For Innovation. 


Commercial & public building demolitions by Ron Hull Ltd – Experts in recycling, remarking & waste management, we are Yorkshire’s leading demolition contractors

 Public buildings are often by necessity placed close to vital local amenities and infrastructure. They often intersect with residential areas, busy commercial areas, and contain a high density of utilities. Demolition in such an environment comes with its own unique challenges, and may be affected by strict deadlines based on commercial or public use of these nearby spaces. Equally, different buildings have different purposes and each project might come with a unique list of requirements. The last thing residents, service users, local authorities and clients want is for the project to indirectly disrupt the community.

 Ron Hull Ltd have the expertise, based in decades of experience, to carefully balance the need for a dynamic, efficient, cost-effective demolition process with the demands of operating in a modern urban setting. For over two decades we have undertaken complex demolition projects that often have required our planners, managers, operators and technicians to go above and beyond for the sake of a job well done. We regularly earn praise from clients who have seen what we do, and the extra steps we take to ensure projects are finished, not just on time and under budget, but in line with the highest standards of professional excellence.
