WHAT OUR RECLAMATION & ASSET RECOVERY SERVICE COVERS
Our reclamation and asset recovery team works alongside your wider demolition, soft strip or decommissioning programme to identify, protect and remove items of value before they’re lost to clearance.
This covers:
- Architectural features and historic fabric – statues, stonework, timber and ironwork on listed or heritage buildings, recovered in line with planning or listed building conditions.
- Structural steel, plant and machinery – safely disconnected and prepared for resale, reuse or recycling rather than landfill.
- Fixtures, fittings and signage – removed carefully where they hold resale, reuse or donation value.
- Extraction methods matched to each item – based on its condition, weight and location, using the right lifting, rigging and handling equipment.
- Secure transport and storage – items are moved and stored carefully until they reach their next use.
This work is planned as part of your demolition or strip-out programme from the outset, not bolted on afterwards, so recovery doesn’t hold up the wider project.
Where reclamation and asset recovery applies
Commercial redevelopment, industrial and manufacturing sites, education and healthcare estates, heritage and listed buildings, and public-sector and regeneration schemes – anywhere a demolition, soft strip or decommissioning project includes items worth keeping.
OUR STRUCTURAL ALTERATIONS PROCESS
Step 1: Survey and Identify
We walk the site with your team before works begin to identify items with retention, reuse, resale or recycling value, including anything required by planning or listed building consent.
Step 2: Plan the Method
We agree the safest extraction method for each item, factoring in condition, weight, access and any structural or asbestos constraints on site.
Step 3: Extract and Protect
Items are disconnected, lifted and protected using the right lifting and rigging equipment for each job, in line with LOLER requirements, with appropriate padding and handling throughout.
Step 4: Transport and Handover
Recovered items are transported and stored securely, with clear handover documentation for resale, reuse, donation or collection.
Key Services:
Demolition Projects
Bradley Group’s principle role as a Demolition Contractor often requires careful consideration for Asset Recovery as part of a larger project.
Soft Strip Demolition
Soft strip often runs ahead of reclamation and asset recovery work, clearing the way before items are extracted.
Asbestos Removal
The Bradley Asbestos team will consider Asset Recovery as part of any Asbestos Removal project.
BARTON SQUARE, TRAFFORD CENTRE
Bradley Group were tasked by Vinci to undertake demolition works in this high profile project at Barton Square, Trafford Centre, Manchester. The movement of large marble statues required a considered & delicate approach. Prior to drilling the fixings on the base, a number of tests with core drills and endoscopes were conducted to make sure the fixings were as described.
