Removal of log cabin

LouRez

Hi everyone,

I have a log cabin that I urgently need removed from my property. Basically it doesn't have planning permission and we need it gone.

I am trying to find a company that remove/demolishes these. Here's some info on the cabin:

• 9m x 4m log cabin (3 room layout)
• Walls 77mm thick
• 7 years old
• Connected to electricity & plumbing 
• On concrete ground

Given it's a permanent structure I assume it will be hard to remove for someone else to reuse - so at this point we just want to demolish and scrap it.

Anyone know any company that demolishes + removes, or have experience similar to ours?

Thank you!

There won't be any company that specifically demolishes these. Options are either contact the original supplier and see if they can help dismantle for for-reuse, Or arrange a demolition contractor.

Why do you need to remove it urgently?

Or someone may take it down for free, to use themselves. Paying to get that demolished and disposed of, won't be cheap… assuming you have read or side access, which you must do with something that large...

You could just leave it or apply for retention permission...

Removal does seem a drastic choice. Has there been an order made, or is it pressure from a neighbour accompanied by a solicitor's letter or some thing like that?
