February 20, 20233 yr Hi folks Nearing the time to take down the old house. It's 2 story, stone wall with a ridge about 9m high. I'll have it fully stripped inc roof off. Just wondering if a 13t digger would be capable of pushing the walls in safely, or something bigger/ more specialised needed? Thanks

February 20, 20233 yr I think it would be worth getting a demolition firm in to do this. Worth checking them out on the HSE database https://resources.hse.gov.uk/notices/search/standard/default.asp and do make sure they have insurance and RAMS.
February 20, 20233 yr More than adequate. I pulled our 1.5 story red brick bungalow down with a 1.6l VW golf and a long chain.
February 21, 20233 yr talk to whoever provides recycled hardcore in your area, could find they will knock it down feed it through their crusher and take the crush.
