Wethersfield concrete removal crushed where it pays
Driveways, slabs, foundations and hardstanding removed across Wethersfield. Where the volume justifies it the concrete is crushed on site and reused rather than hauled away and replaced with imported stone.
Concrete is priced by weight going out and fill is priced by weight coming in, so a slab that leaves as waste and returns as imported stone has been paid for at both ends. Crushed on site it becomes granular fill for whatever is built next, and on any reasonable volume that saves more than the crusher costs to bring in. It needs room and a tolerant few days for the neighbours, so it is not always right, but it should be a decision.
We do the arithmetic at survey and tell you which side of the line your job falls. Slabs come out under slab removal, drives under driveway removal, and processing runs under concrete crushing.

Local Detail
Scan concrete before cutting, every time
Services run under slabs far more often than drawings suggest, and some slabs are held in compression by tensioned steel that is genuinely dangerous to cut without releasing first. Neither is visible from the surface.
Scanning before cutting is the method rather than a precaution, and any contractor pricing coring or sawing without it is pricing a gamble with your building. We scan, mark and move a position rather than drilling and hoping.
On site where there is room and the site can use the material, because crushing turns a disposal cost into sub-base. Where there is no room it goes out weighed and ticketed.
Yes, and often it should. Slab removal is frequently all a rebuild needs, and leaving sound footings in place saves both the breaking and the fill.
The crossing and the kerb usually belong to the authority rather than to you, so that section is confirmed before anything is cut. The rest of the drive is straightforward.
Both, and the choice is about what stays. A clean line next to something that is being kept is sawn; an open area with nothing to protect is broken, which is faster and cheaper.
Whatever was under it, which is why the level is agreed in writing. Handover disputes almost always start with an undefined finished level rather than with the work itself.
