How a hoarding is dismantled: approvals, method and site clearance

Sooner or later a hoarding has to come down. The contract ends, the site is redeveloped, the structure is damaged, or you have been told to remove it.

Taking down a large structure beside a road or a shop needs planning. This is how we run it.

Approvals first

We manage the authority approvals and compliance requirements for dismantling, so the removal is fully permitted. In Dubai the relevant body is Dubai Municipality. Where a lane or a footpath is affected, road access is coordinated through the RTA.

A written method

Every removal follows a documented method statement and a risk assessment. Certified crews do the work with the correct access equipment for the structure. This applies on a live road or in a mall as much as on an empty site.

Working hours

We regularly dismantle at night and at weekends. It keeps traffic moving and avoids disturbing shops or building operations.

What happens to the material

Wherever possible we recover frames, panels and fixings for reuse. Whatever cannot be reused is disposed of responsibly. The site is left fully cleared.

Proof that it is finished

When the job is done we hand over photographs and a completion sign-off. You can give them to your landlord or keep them on file.

How quickly

For urgent jobs we can mobilise the same day. Otherwise we confirm a fixed date when we quote.

What to send when you ask

  • the location
  • a photo of the structure
  • its approximate size
  • the date by which it must be gone, if there is one

With those we can say what the job involves.
