Intending to renovate parts of your house? If yes, then it is necessary to get a planning permission. You need to get it from the local council. There are also other important considerations before you start demolishing your house or parts of it.

Before opting for any demolition firm, it is also wiser to inform your neighbors about the same. That's because, their property might get affected while the renovation work is in progress. In this article, readers will be educated about the things to keep in mind before hiring one.

Local Council Must be Informed

If you are knocking down your abode or portions of it, this is the first thing you are supposed to do. Once you inform the right authorities, surveyors will have a look at your property, and let you know whether your intended demolition is in compliance with the law of the land.

Ask A Lot of Questions

You should be asking as many questions as possible pertaining to the services offered. Inquire whether the hauling company is ready to remove heavy debris from the site. There are some service providers that refuse to remove heavy post-demolition rubble. If a company has a list stating that it doesn't remove such and such items, then it is better to look for some other debris remover.

Do Care about Neighbors

When you are demolishing portions of your house, it is bound to have an impact on your neighbors. You simply cannot carry on with it without informing them. Here are some ways you can lessen their vexation:

  • - Inform all your neighbors about it. You can inform them personally or email them that a demolition firm will be hired to break parts of your house. Inform them about the kind of work that will be done, the noise created, and what inconveniences they might face. Do not forget to give your contact number in case they need to talk when the work is in progress.
  • - Inform the local council six months prior. They might lay down some guidelines as to how the task should be done.
  • - If your neighbors reacts negatively, keep your cool. Explain them logically that you will be hiring a professional demolition service, and there won't be any problems.

    • Inquire about Accident Policy

    When you demolish a living room wall for renovation purposes, it will be necessary to remove large couches or other heavier furniture. When such heavy items are being moved, something might drop, somebody might get hurt, or other parts of the room might get damaged. What should you do in such a situation?

    In such a scenario, you should inquire about the policies of the company pertaining to accident coverage. Opt for a service provider having an insurance policy. You will be compensated, in case any accidents occur.

    Hope you do not want to watch TV in your newly renovated living room with a hole or dent in the wall.

    Less Noise And Dust

    You can keep the amount of dust less if you spray water on parts of your house. You can also request your rubbish removal firm to keep the noise level as low as possible. Make sure the work is carried on between 7 am – 5 pm. Working beyond that time will annoy your neighbors. Also avoid any kind of renovation on Sundays or public holidays.
