Demolition and strip-out work in Tallinn

Choose the closest option. Each page explains what is included and shows starting prices:

• Bathroom demolition: tiles, sanitary ware, waterproofing and the floor down to concrete.
• Apartment strip-out: the whole apartment before renovation as one job.
• Door opening widening: wider doorways in non-load-bearing walls.

We also take down partition walls, floors, stoves, sheds and houses. Pages for these are in Estonian and Russian; call or write to us in English and we will gladly quote.

Sorting and removing the waste is part of every job, you do not need to order a skip separately.

It all starts with a call or photos. For simpler jobs we can often give the price from pictures, for larger sites we come and check what needs to be removed and how much.

You then get a written quote with the scope of work, waste removal and timetable. If the quote suits you, we sign an agreement and set a date.

On the day we cover the surfaces that stay, demolish the agreed parts, sort the waste and take it away. Finally we sweep the space, so the next tradesperson can start straight away.

The price depends mainly on material and volume. Removing a plasterboard wall is a very different job from breaking concrete, and the more square metres, the cheaper each one gets.

We also take into account:

• the amount of waste and whether it is carried down the stairs or the lift can be used;
• parking in front of the building and the distance to the van;
• whether work has to be done at set times, for example because of the housing association's quiet hours;
• the need to keep some surfaces or fixtures intact.

Indicative starting prices are in the table below; we confirm the exact amount after seeing the site.

Before demolishing we turn off the water and electricity and check that the wall or structure being removed is not load-bearing. If in doubt, we recommend consulting a structural designer first.

We sort construction waste on site: stone and concrete, wood, metal and mixed waste go separately. That way they reach the right handler and you do not have to drive to a waste station. Hazardous waste, such as asbestos cement sheeting, is handled separately and discussed before the job.

We work in Tallinn and across Harju County, elsewhere in Estonia by arrangement.

Below are real photos and videos from our sites in Tallinn, not stock images. The most common jobs:

• bathroom demolition: tiles off walls and floor, sanitary ware removed, pipes and drain left for the next tradesperson;
• apartment before renovation: wallpaper, partitions, doors and floor coverings removed, rooms swept and ready for renovation;
• walls and ceilings in a wooden house: old plaster and wall coverings stripped back to the timber;
• waste gone straight away: plasterboard offcuts, boards and renovation rubbish bagged and taken away by van the same day.
