These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of the Cork Demolitions website and to enquiries, quotations and services provided by Cork Demolitions, unless a separate written contract or quotation states otherwise.
By using our website, contacting us, accepting a quotation, booking a site visit or instructing us to carry out work, you agree to these Terms.
Cork Demolitions provides safe, controlled and reliable demolition services for residential, commercial and industrial projects across Cork City and within approximately a 30 km radius.

Our services may include, depending on the project and written quotation:
residential demolition; commercial demolition; industrial demolition; internal strip-outs; site clearance; controlled demolition; waste removal coordination; project planning support; demolition-related consultation; and other services agreed in writing.
Services are only included where they are clearly listed in our written quotation or agreement.
You may use our website for lawful purposes only. You must not misuse the website, attempt to gain unauthorised access, upload harmful material, copy content for commercial use without permission, or use the website in a way that could damage Cork Demolitions or any third party.
We may update, suspend or remove website content at any time.
Website content is provided for general information only. While we aim to keep information accurate and up to date, website content does not constitute technical, safety, engineering, legal or planning advice.
Every demolition project is different. Final advice, pricing, methods, safety requirements and timelines will depend on the site, surveys, access, permits, hazards, weather, utilities, waste, neighbouring properties and other project-specific factors.
You can contact us by phone, email, website form or social media.
A quotation is based on the information available to us at the time. Unless stated otherwise, quotations are valid for [30] days from the date of issue.
A quotation may change if:
the project scope changes; site conditions differ from what was disclosed; hazardous materials are discovered; asbestos, contaminated waste or unknown services are identified; access is restricted; additional labour, equipment, permits or subcontractors are required; disposal costs change; or work must be delayed, redesigned or carried out differently for safety or legal reasons.
We may need to inspect the site before confirming a quotation or start date. You must ensure safe and reasonable access to the site and disclose any relevant risks or restrictions.
A site visit is not a full structural, asbestos, environmental, planning or engineering survey unless we expressly agree this in writing.
A contract is formed when you accept our quotation in writing, pay a required deposit, sign an agreement, or otherwise instruct us to proceed and we confirm acceptance.
We may refuse or delay a booking where necessary, including where the site is unsafe, information is incomplete, required permissions are missing, payment has not been made, or specialist surveys are needed.
You are responsible for:
confirming that you own the property or have authority to instruct the works; providing accurate and complete information about the site and project; disclosing known hazards, including asbestos, contamination, hidden tanks, underground services, unstable structures, restricted access or neighbouring property risks; arranging permissions, consents, notices, licences or approvals unless we expressly agree to do so; ensuring utilities and services are safely disconnected or isolated where required; providing access, parking and working space; keeping people, pets, vehicles and unauthorised persons away from the work area; removing valuables and items not included in the demolition; and paying invoices on time.
Building control and construction compliance can involve owners, builders and designers, and commencement notices or certificates may be required for certain works. Official Irish guidance states that responsibility for compliance rests with owners and engaged builders/designers, and that commencement notices are required for many building works.
Unless our quotation specifically states otherwise, you are responsible for obtaining all necessary permissions, planning approvals, building control notices, road opening licences, skip permits, parking permissions, neighbour consents, utility disconnections and other authorisations.
If required approvals are not in place, we may delay or refuse to start work. Any resulting costs, delays or losses may be charged to you where lawful and reasonable.
Demolition can involve hidden risks. You must tell us about any known or suspected asbestos, hazardous materials, contamination, buried tanks, live services, structural instability or other risks.
Where asbestos or hazardous materials are suspected or identified, specialist surveys, removal, handling or disposal may be required before demolition can continue. These services are not included unless stated in writing.
If unexpected hazards are discovered, we may stop work immediately and issue a revised quotation or require specialist contractors before work resumes.
Safety is central to our work. We may prepare or rely on risk assessments, method statements, safe systems of work, exclusion zones, fencing, hoarding, traffic management, personal protective equipment, emergency procedures and other controls as required for the project.
You and anyone under your control must follow all reasonable safety instructions. We may stop or suspend work if we believe there is a risk to workers, customers, neighbours, the public, property or the environment.
Waste handling, recycling and disposal will be carried out as agreed in the quotation and in line with applicable requirements.
Unless agreed in writing, you must not add unrelated waste, hazardous waste, household waste, liquids, chemicals, asbestos, electrical items or other excluded materials to skips, containers or waste areas arranged for the project.
Additional waste, contaminated waste, hazardous waste or disposal charges may be charged separately.
We will aim to carry out work within agreed timelines, but dates may change due to weather, safety issues, access restrictions, permit delays, utility delays, supplier delays, equipment availability, illness, emergency works, unexpected hazards or events outside our reasonable control.
We are not responsible for delays caused by incomplete information, missing approvals, unsafe conditions, late payments, customer changes or third-party issues.
If you request changes, or if changes are required because of site conditions or safety requirements, we may issue a revised quotation or variation.
Additional work will not be included unless confirmed in writing. We may require payment or a deposit before carrying out additional work.
Prices will be set out in our quotation.
Unless stated otherwise, prices are [exclusive / inclusive] of VAT. For consumer customers, we will provide clear price information, including VAT where applicable, before you are bound by a contract.
We may require a deposit before booking or starting work. Payment terms will be stated on the quotation or invoice. Unless stated otherwise, invoices are payable within [7 / 14 / 30] days of issue.
We may pause work, withhold completion documents or cancel future work if payment is overdue, subject to applicable law.
Deposits may be required to secure booking dates, equipment, labour, subcontractors, permits or disposal arrangements.
If you cancel or postpone work, we may retain or charge a reasonable amount to cover costs already incurred, commitments made and losses caused by the cancellation, to the extent permitted by law.
If you are a consumer and your contract with us is made online, by phone, by email or away from our business premises, you may have a legal cooling-off period.
For many distance service contracts, the cancellation period is 14 days from the day the contract is concluded. For certain contracts concluded after an unsolicited visit to a consumer’s home, the period may be 30 days.
To cancel, contact us clearly in writing at:
Email: info@corkdemolitions.ie
If you ask us to begin work during the cancellation period, we may require your express written request and your acknowledgement that, once the service has been fully performed, you may lose the right to cancel. If you cancel after work has started but before it is fully completed, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for work already supplied, where permitted by law.
These Terms do not limit any legal rights you have as a consumer.
We may cancel, pause or reschedule work where:
the site is unsafe; required permissions or documents are missing; payment is overdue; weather makes work unsafe; utilities are not disconnected or isolated; asbestos or hazardous materials are discovered; the work differs materially from the information provided; required subcontractors or equipment are unavailable; or an event outside our reasonable control occurs.
Where we cancel due to our own issue, we will refund any amount paid for work not carried out, subject to any lawful deductions for work already completed or costs already incurred.
If you want to cancel or postpone, you must contact us as soon as possible.
Depending on timing and circumstances, you may be responsible for reasonable costs already incurred, including labour allocation, equipment hire, permit costs, subcontractor costs, waste arrangements, materials, administration and other project-specific commitments.
Nothing in this clause affects your consumer cancellation rights where they apply.
If you are unhappy with any part of our service, please contact us as soon as possible.

Please provide your name, contact details, project address, details of the issue and any photographs or documents that may help us assess the matter.
We will review complaints fairly and aim to respond within a reasonable time.
We will maintain insurance appropriate to our business activities. Evidence of insurance can be provided on reasonable request where relevant to a confirmed project.
You are responsible for maintaining appropriate property, buildings, contents, business interruption and other insurance for your own property and interests.
We are responsible for losses caused by our breach of contract, negligence or failure to provide services with reasonable care and skill.
We are not responsible for:
losses caused by inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by you; pre-existing defects or structural issues; hidden hazards not reasonably discoverable before work starts; delays caused by third parties or events outside our reasonable control; losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was formed; business losses where you are a consumer; or damage caused by unauthorised persons entering the work area.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
We may take photographs or videos before, during and after works for project management, safety, quality control, record-keeping and portfolio purposes.
We will not intentionally publish images that identify a private customer, private address, person, vehicle registration or sensitive location without appropriate permission.
All website content, text, images, branding, logos, graphics and materials are owned by Cork Demolitions or licensed to us unless stated otherwise.
You may view and print website content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute or use our content for commercial purposes without written permission.
Our website may link to third-party websites or social media platforms, including Facebook, X, LinkedIn and Instagram.
We are not responsible for third-party websites, content, availability, security or privacy practices. Your use of third-party platforms is governed by their own terms and policies.
We are not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events outside our reasonable control, including severe weather, fire, flood, accident, illness, labour shortage, equipment breakdown, utility issues, permit delays, supplier failure, emergency restrictions, legal restrictions or other events beyond our control.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on our website with a new “last updated” date.
Terms that apply to a confirmed project will usually be the Terms in force when the quotation was accepted, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. The courts of Ireland will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer rights that apply.
