What the work looks like in Gloucester
Gloucester’s housing runs from Blossom Park’s early-1950s core to Blackburn Hamlet’s late-1960s and 70s homes and Hunt Club’s planned neighbourhoods. The garages and sheds behind the older houses are often original, and siding or roofing from that era is tested before demolition.
In Hunt Club and Blackburn Hamlet, the job is more often a deck that has done its thirty years, or a shed cleared for a pool or garden. Rural Gloucester lots add outbuildings and room for a bin, which the bin company hauls and tips when the job is done.
Gloucester was its own city until amalgamation in 2001. More about Gloucester

Before work starts in Gloucester
The City requires a permit to demolish a building or structure, and its demolition page lists barns and silos as exceptions. A storage shed of 15 m² or less with no plumbing does not need a permit to build (ottawa.ca), but that exemption is about construction, so we confirm what applies to your structure at the site visit. Wired garages and sheds need an electrician to make the power safe first.
Commercial strip-outs follow the building owner’s designated substances report. Houses built before 1990 need a hazardous materials survey first, and any abatement goes to licensed specialists. Commercial waste cannot go to Trail Road (City memo).
Any building from before 1990 gets a hazardous materials survey first. If it finds asbestos or other designated substances, abatement is referred to licensed specialists, and our crew starts after the clearance letter.
Disposal
Torn out. Hauled out.
Every job ends ready for the next trade. Here is where the debris goes.
Wood, shingles, metal and siding are separated where the site allows. Metal goes to scrap, concrete pads go to aggregate recycling, and mixed debris goes to a licensed sorting facility.
On larger jobs, a roll-off bin from a licensed bin company sits on your property, and the bin company hauls it away and handles the tipping at its own facility.
On smaller jobs our crew loads our own trucks and hauls to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre at 106 Westhunt Drive in Carp, which sorts mixed construction and demolition debris for recycling and accepts commercial loads.
East- and south-end jobs in Gloucester often use a roll-off bin, which the bin company hauls and tips. Commercial loads go to private licensed facilities, with weigh tickets on request.

Asbestos & permits
We don’t touch asbestos. That’s the point.
Some demolition companies will tell you they do it all. We do the demolition, and we make sure the steps before it happen in the right order, by the right people: survey first, licensed abatement, then us.
Read the asbestos and permit FAQ- Built before 1990? Ontario law puts the onus on the owner to identify designated substances before a contract is signed. That means a designated-substances survey.
- Survey finds asbestos? A licensed abatement contractor removes it, and you get a clearance letter.
- Utilities and permit. Gas, hydro, water and sewer disconnected where needed. Enbridge alone takes about 44 days, so it gets requested first.
- Then we demolish. No change orders for surprise asbestos, no stop-work orders, no crew exposed.
FAQ
Shed, deck & garage demolition in Gloucester: questions
Do you cover rural Gloucester?
Yes, along with Blossom Park, Hunt Club, Elmvale, Beacon Hill and Blackburn Hamlet.
Is old shed siding a concern?
It can be. Older cement-board or asphalt siding and roofing can contain asbestos. Have it tested; if it is positive, licensed abatement comes first.
Can you remove a deck attached to the house?
Yes. We remove it carefully at the ledger, leave the house wall weather-protected and tell you about any damage we find behind the ledger board.
Do you cover all of former Gloucester?
Yes, including Blossom Park, Hunt Club, South Keys, Elmvale, Beacon Hill, Blackburn Hamlet and the rural areas inside the City boundary.
