Testimonials from some of our Demolition and Asbestos Removal Clients.

I worked with Bradley Demolition on a scheme commencing July 2024 and completing in November 2024. The scheme was the demolition of the former Shadsworth Leisure Centre, Shadsworth Rd, Blackburn, BB1 2HT comprising of pulling down of main buildings, grubbing-up of foundations and disused services, removal of extensive amounts of asbestos, filling of voids with compacted crushed fill and protection. The works included liaison with the adjacent adjoining occupied property and for working around the adjacent distribution substation which was to be retained in its current position post demolition with services retained to supply the adjacent former school building. There was a significant amount of asbestos that needed to be removed and Bradleys in house asbestos team managed the removal of this efficiently and in a very safe manner. The scope of works altered during the course of the demolition meaning that only two thirds of the building could be demolished and Bradley Demolition adapted to this very well and were able to advise us with their expertise. Bradley Demolition also managed a nominated mechanical / electrical contractor on this scheme. I have found Bradley Demolition to be an extremely reliable and knowledgeable Contractor. I can confirm that this scheme was carried out on programme and within budget. The standard of workmanship is outstanding and the operative’s performance on site and site management is exemplary. Health and safety is exceptional and risk assessments, method statements and health and safety documentation is received in advance of any works commencing on site. I would not hesitate in using this Contractor again.

“I worked with Bradley Group on the recently completed Shadsworth Leisure Centre demolition project on behalf of Blackburn with Darwen Council. From the outset Bradley showcased their capabilities and knowledge of the asbestos removal and demolition activities, this was reflected within the site documentation and also by witnessing live onsite duties. I completed several site audits and attended progress meetings, Bradley’s on site safety procedures and set up were of the highest standard and quality was maintained throughout the project. Bradley reacted quickly and efficiently with scope changes and ensured both myself and the client were kept up to date. Overall great work from the Bradley team as whole and I have no reservations about working with them again in the future.”

“We have had the pleasure of working closely Bradley Demolition on some very demanding and technically complex projects. These projects have involved propping and managing of partial demolition works to multi storey structures. They have always been extremely professional, responsive to urgent matters, and always held safety planning at the heart of their professional practice. They have achieved the highest standards of workmanship and professionalism. We would recommend Bradley Group to any of our clients that are in need of demolition or partial de-construction works.”

“Sincere thanks to the Bradley Demolition team for your efforts throughout the project. Despite the unfortunate complexities with the ENW disconnection within the footpath, we still manage to complete in a timely manner once this was resolved. We now have happy residents and have removed a H&S risk from the estate.”

“I would just like to say a massive thank you to the asbestos & demo operatives for all the hard work they have done whilst being on the project (as well as those in the office who have provided me with information when I’ve asked). The site is constantly maintained and kept to a clean standard as well as the way they have represented themselves on site and to the community throughout the duration of the job. I am more than pleased with the team and their work has not been unrecognised.”

“What I came across when operating with BDL was so different to other demolition companies I have been involved with over the years, Care and attention carried out all times, the plant available and operating was unbelievable, it’s the first time I have seen sample runs operating and after maybe an hour set up, the decision was changed just to ensure live shops on the project where not damaged in anyway, many demolition companies would have walked away from this project.”
