- Small machines, tight access
- Everything hauled away
Clear the old to make space for the new
Many Corfu plots come with something old on them: a collapsing shed, an animal shelter, a stone outbuilding, a ruined wall or a half-fallen farmhouse. They are unsafe, take up space you could use, and can make selling or building harder.
We demolish small structures with a mini excavator, which pulls down walls and roofs in a controlled way and sorts and loads the debris as it goes. Good stone can be saved for reuse; the rest is loaded onto the trailer. We finish by levelling the ground so you can build, plant or park on it. See rubble removal for the hauling.
Two important limits. First, many old roofs and water tanks in Greece were made of asbestos-cement sheets. We do not break or handle asbestos: if we suspect it, we stop and you need a specialist. Second, demolishing a building can need a permit, and buildings in traditional or protected settlements need extra care. Ask your engineer or the municipality first.

How the job works
Photos and check
You send photos and tell us the size, the material and whether there is a roof of corrugated sheeting, asbestos or other hazards.
Permits and utilities
You confirm any permit needed and that electricity and water are disconnected.
Demolish
The excavator takes the structure down in a controlled order, sorting stone and debris as it goes.
Clear and level
Debris is hauled away and the ground levelled, ready for the next step.
Asbestos and permits
If a roof looks like grey corrugated cement sheeting, treat it as possible asbestos: do not drill, cut or break it. It needs specialist removal before demolition. Also ask whether you need a permit; demolishing old buildings, especially in villages, can be regulated. Afterwards, see land levelling and foundation excavation if you are building.
Common questions
Do you demolish houses?
We do small structures and ruins with a mini excavator. Larger or multi-storey buildings need bigger machinery and a proper demolition plan.
Do you remove asbestos?
No. If a structure has or may have asbestos, we stop and you need a specialist. We can do the rest once it has been safely removed.
Do I need a permit to demolish?
Often yes for buildings, especially in villages or protected areas. Ask your engineer or the municipality; we can start once you confirm.
Can I keep the old stone?
Yes. We can sort and stack good stone for reuse.
