What Total Reclaims Demolition Ltd does

Total Reclaims Demolition Ltd is a UK specialist demolition contractor founded in 1993 and headquartered in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. The company is a second-generation family business led by Melvyn Cross Jnr, with other family members holding director and contracts management roles. It operates nationwide across England, Wales, and into Dublin, serving both public sector clients (NHS trusts, universities, fire and rescue services, local authorities) and private sector clients (Balfour Beatty, Kier Group, Bowmer + Kirkland, Willmott Dixon, Graham Group, Henry Brothers, retail chains including Matalan).

The company delivers an integrated suite of services: demolition (high-reach, mechanical, and hand demolition), refurbishment and enabling works, environmental remediation, specialist cutting including diamond drilling and precision crane operations, licensed asbestos removal, aggregate supply, heavy haulage, and a dedicated Small Works Division for residential and smaller commercial projects. Its technology base centres on a specialist plant fleet including the Volvo EC480E high-reach excavator, Liebherr LTM1250 5.1 crane, and the UK's first Mesda J10H Hybrid Jaw Crusher for on-site material processing into reusable 6F2 aggregate. The business holds triple ISO certification (9001/14001/45001), NFDC membership, CHAS Elite, ConstructionLine Gold, and a dense stack of additional SSIP-aligned safety pre-qualifications.

Total Reclaims Demolition operates a sales-led go-to-market offering free site visits and no-obligation quotes. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts in both public and private sectors, with pricing set per project rather than through standardised rate cards. The company reinvests in workforce training (100% CSCS-qualified) and continuous fleet modernisation, evidenced by recent equipment additions (Mesda crusher, 120t Volvo truck, IVECO tippers, LiuGong excavators) and a recurring cadence of industry award recognition through 2015-2026.

Direct peers

• Brown & Mason Demolition: Long-established UK demolition contractor with comparable high-reach and complex structural demolition capabilities, competing for large commercial and infrastructure demolition tenders.
• Hughes & Salvidge: Established UK demolition contractor covering structural demolition, asbestos removal, and site clearance nationwide — a close comparable to TRD in service mix, regional UK footprint, and customer overlap with major contractors.
• Squibb Group: UK demolition and dismantling specialist operating across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects — closely comparable in service mix and customer profile to TRD.
• Cawarden Demolition: Midlands-based specialist demolition contractor with a comparable service offering (demolition, asbestos, remediation, aggregate recycling) — the most direct regional competitor to TRD given overlapping Mid-East geography and similar customer base.
• Coleman Group: UK specialist contractor delivering demolition, dismantling, asbestos, and remediation services — comparable service set and similar mid-size, well-accredited competitive positioning.
• McGee Group: UK specialist demolition and enabling-works contractor with high-rise and complex inner-city demolition capability — comparable to TRD in service breadth (demolition, asbestos, remediation) and target customer mix of Tier 1 contractors and developers.
