About Daltons Demolitions
Delivering safe, efficient and fully managed demolition solutions across Scotland and the UK.
Demolition expertise built over six decades
Daltons Demolitions Ltd is an established specialist demolition and dismantling contractor based in Edinburgh. Founded in 1964, we bring more than 60 years of industry experience to projects throughout Scotland and across the wider UK.
From initial site assessment through to final handover, every project is carefully planned around the structure, surrounding environment, programme requirements, live services, asbestos information, site logistics and opportunities for material recovery and recycling.
A complete, coordinated demolition service
Daltons provides clients with a comprehensive demolition service, from early contractor involvement and pre-construction planning through to structural demolition, industrial dismantling, asset recovery, asbestos management, on-site material processing and final site clearance.
By managing these activities as an integrated package, we provide clients and principal contractors with a clear, coordinated approach throughout the project, helping to control risk, maintain programme certainty and deliver a safe, efficient and well-documented handover.
Experience where planning matters
Our experience covers a broad range of demolition environments, including schools and education facilities, industrial buildings and complexes, commercial properties, inner-city developments, constrained sites and operational premises.
These projects often require careful coordination around neighbouring properties, retained structures, live services, restricted access, ongoing site activities and demanding programme requirements.
No two demolition projects are the same. Our approach is therefore built around understanding the specific challenges of each site, identifying and controlling risk, developing practical demolition methodologies and deploying suitably trained personnel, specialist equipment and effective project management.
Clear communication, careful planning and programme control remain central to every project we undertake.
Industry standards, training and professional delivery
Daltons is a long-standing member of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) and maintains compliance with the Federation’s rigorous audit requirements.
We are also a member of the National Demolition Training Group (NDTG), helping us to ensure that the training and competency of our workforce remains compliant with current demolition industry requirements and recognised standards.
Our operations are supported by experienced management, trained and competent personnel, robust management systems and comprehensive project controls. This commitment to high standards of safety, training and professional delivery helps ensure our projects are completed safely, responsibly and efficiently, from initial planning through to completion.
