REC Member | | 48hr Deployment | Right-to-Work Verified
Leicester’s demolition crews are in high demand across the city’s regeneration belt, especially around the historic West End and the rapidly expanding New Walk development near the LE1 postcode. Workers often travel to nearby towns such as Loughborough (LE11), Market Harborough (LE16) and the industrial hub of Coalville (LE67) via the well‑served A46 and A6 corridors, while the Leicester City Council’s East Midlands Railway station provides fast links to Nottingham and Sheffield for larger regional projects. Major sites currently hiring demolition labour include the former Braunstone retail park conversion, the Riverside Hotel demolition on the River Soar, and the extensive clearance work at the former St. George’s Hospital site slated for mixed‑use redevelopment.
Key local employers include the Leicester City Council’s Building Services team, private contractors such as Kier and Balfour Beatty, and specialist demolition firms like HGP Demolition, which operate from their depot on the A607 near Oadby (LE2). Ongoing projects also feature the refurbishment of the historic Leicester Castle grounds, the clearance of derelict warehouses in the Riverside Business Park, and the preparatory demolition for the new East Midlands Gateway logistics hub near East Midlands Airport (accessible via the M1 and A46). Reliable public transport, including the Stagecoach X7 and X46 bus routes, ensures crews can easily reach sites across the city and surrounding LE postcode districts.

What Is Soft Strip Demolition?
Soft strip demolition is the systematic removal of all non-structural internal elements from a building before structural demolition or major renovation. This includes ceilings, partitions, flooring, fixtures, fittings, and M&E installations. Unlike hard demolition, soft strip is a controlled, methodical process that preserves the building's structural integrity and enables safe recycling of materials. It's essential for maximising waste recovery and meeting environmental regulations—particularly when asbestos-containing materials are present.

Every operative supplied by Gangal Recruitment is fully verified and trained to the highest standards. Our team includes:
• CCDO Green, Blue, and Gold card holders for site safety and competency

We don't just send bodies to site. We send skilled professionals who understand soft strip protocols, work safely alongside your teams, and deliver consistent productivity from day one.
Asbestos in Leicester – Safe Handling & Awareness
Leicester's industrial and commercial properties frequently contain asbestos in insulation, ceiling tiles, pipe lagging, and flooring. Our team is fully asbestos-aware trained and understands notification procedures, safe handling protocols, and the importance of segregating suspected asbestos materials for licensed removal. This protects your project, your team, and your liability.
Soft Demolition vs. Hard Demolition – The Key Difference
Hard demolition is the mechanical breakdown of structural elements—walls, concrete, steelwork. Soft strip demolition precedes this, removing all non-structural content carefully and systematically. Soft strip is labour-intensive, requires precision, and demands awareness of hidden hazards (asbestos, electrical, plumbing). It's not unskilled work. It's specialist work. Gangal supplies operatives who treat it as such.
