In 2022, Blockade undertook a significant demolition project at 22 – 33 Grange Close in East Molesey. This project involved the careful dismantling of two blocks of retirement flats. The aim was to clear the site for future development while ensuring safety and compliance throughout all phases.

The first critical step in the project was removing asbestos, a crucial process given the age of the buildings. Blockade’s experienced team executed this task with the utmost precision, adhering to strict safety regulations to mitigate any risks associated with hazardous materials. This meticulous approach ensured that all asbestos was safely removed, safeguarding both the workers on site and the surrounding community.

Once the asbestos removal was completed, Blockade proceeded with the total demolition of the two blocks of retirement flats. The demolition was conducted with careful planning and execution, focusing on maintaining safety and minimising disruption to the local area. Blockade utilised specialised techniques to dismantle the structures efficiently, ensuring a swift and safe process.

In addition to the demolition, Blockade crushed all arisings generated from the project. This practice allowed for the repurposing of materials on-site, aligning with Blockade’s commitment to sustainability and responsible waste management. By recycling the materials, the project reduced the environmental impact and promoted efficient resource use.

By the project's conclusion, Blockade had successfully demolished the retirement flats at Grange Close, preparing the site for its next phase of development. This project exemplifies Blockade's expertise in handling complex demolition tasks while prioritising safety, compliance, and environmental stewardship. The successful execution of this project underscores Blockade's dedication to delivering high-quality results and transforming sites for future use.
