Permits and paperwork here
A demolition permit for this address is issued by the City of London Building Division under the Ontario Building Code Act, and for anything built before the 1990s a designated substance survey normally has to be attached to the application. Utilities are disconnected and capped by the providers, not cut on site. ALMAR does not apply for permits as part of the service, though we can assist for an additional fee. Confirm what your project needs with the building department before you book a date.
Where the debris goes
Every load leaves the property with us and goes to an approved facility, with wood, metal and concrete separated for recycling wherever the receiving site accepts them. You do not need to book a bin, arrange a depot slot or weigh a load. If you are only clearing a small amount yourself, our guide to Toronto drop-off depots has the current fees and hours.
Getting to you
Our crews and equipment are based in Toronto and work across the GTA and Southern Ontario, so travel to London is built into the quote rather than added later. Call (647) 575-5085 with the address and we will tell you what we can do and when, rather than a generic promise.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to demolish a house in London?
The cost to demolish a house in London depends on the size of the property, the materials used, how much has to be hauled away and how easy the site is to reach. Any permit needed from the City of London is part of the planning too. We price each job after we know the address and scope, so call (647) 575-5085 or request a free quote online and we will give you a written scope and price.
Do I need a permit to construct or demolish something in London?
Yes, usually. Under Ontario’s Building Code Act, a building permit is required for both the construction and deconstruction of structures when they involve substantial changes. Below are common situations that typically require a permit:
- Constructing a New Building
- Adding to an Existing Building (e.g., extending a kitchen, adding rooms)
- Making Structural or Material Alterations (like removing load-bearing walls)
- Constructing Certain Sheds: Any shed with an area of 15 m² (161 ft²) or more.
- Building Larger Accessory Structures: Over 10 m² (107 ft²).
- Finishing or Renovating Basements (if the work involves structural changes, new or modified heating/plumbing, foundation work, basement underpinning, adding a separate entrance, or adding a second suite).
- Decks: Any deck more than 60 cm (24 in) above ground.
- Retaining Walls: Over 1 m (3 ft 3 in) in height.
- Demolishing or Removing All or Part of a Building
- Installing or Reconstructing a Chimney or Fireplace
- Installing a Wood-Burning Stove or Fireplace
- Installing or Modifying Heating or Plumbing Systems
- Installing a Backwater Valve or Backflow Prevention Device
What must be in place before demolition in London?
Before you start tearing stuff down, make sure that you:
- Obtain Necessary Permits: Secure all required demolition and construction permits.
- Utility Disconnections: Disconnect water, gas, electricity, and other utilities.
- Site Assessment: Conduct an assessment for hazardous materials like asbestos.
- Structural Evaluation: Have a structural engineer assess the building’s stability.
- Neighbor Notifications: Inform adjacent property owners about the demolition plans.
What are the safety requirements for demolition in London?
Demolition projects in London must adhere to safety standards outlined in the Ontario Building Code and local bylaws. Key safety requirements include:
-
Professional Oversight: If the demolition involves complex structures or the use of explosives, a professional engineer must oversee the project.
-
Hazardous Material Handling: Identifying and safely removing hazardous materials, such as asbestos, is crucial. Compliance with regulations like Ontario Regulation 278/05 for asbestos management is required.
-
Worker Safety: Ensuring all workers have appropriate safety training and personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential to prevent accidents.
Do I need a structural engineer’s report before scheduling a demo in London?
Yes. The property owners are supposed to have a structural engineer’s report before any demo services begin, especially when asbestos or other hazardous materials are likely to be involved. According to Ontario regulations, this report shall include:
- Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs): Whether or not the structure contains ACMs, or if the demolition will proceed under the assumption that it does. Sprayed-on friable materials are to be treated as containing asbestos other than chrysotile that is more hazardous.
- Materials condition: Description of the condition of the materials, for example, friable or non-friable.
- Supporting Documentation: Drawings, plans, and specifications showing the exact location of materials in question.
The paperwork not only meets the letter of the law but also assists teams in preparing the proper safety measures and disposals that are to be followed.
Can I perform my own demo work, or must I hire a licensed contractor in London
While minor adjustments on your own property might be allowed, large-scale or complex projects, if not done properly, can indeed be very hazardous. Improper techniques can lead to extensive structural damage to adjacent areas of your property or even neighboring properties.
By hiring a licensed contractor, you get the benefit of:
- Proper Insurance: A licensed contractor will have CGL and WSIB, which protect you in case of an accident.
- Specialized Training & Equipment: Professionals have industry-specific tools and follow established safety protocols to minimize risks.
- Efficiency & Compliance: Experienced crews work quickly and know how to navigate municipal bylaws, permits, and waste disposal regulations.
In all, hiring a reputable firm can save you time, money, and potential liability down the road.
What is the first stage in demolition in London?
The initial stage involves:
- Site Assessment and Planning: Evaluate the property, identify hazardous materials, and develop a comprehensive demolition plan.
This phase ensures that all safety, legal, and logistical considerations are addressed before work begins.
What are the risks of demolition in London?
Risks include:
- Structural Collapse: Unexpected building failures during demolition.
- Hazardous Material Exposure: Encountering asbestos, lead, or other harmful substances.
- Utility Hazards: Accidental damage to gas, water, or electrical lines.
- Environmental Impact: Dust, noise, and debris affecting the surrounding area.
Getting professionals like us, helps mitigate these risks through proper planning and safety measures.
What insurance coverage should a demo contractor have in London?
A contractor must carry at least a Commercial General Liability insurance policy in Ontario for coverage of:
- Third-Party Injuries or Property Damage: Protection if the company operations result in injuries to people or damages to properties nearby.
- On-Site Accidents: Coverage for injuries occurring on business premises related to demolishing activities.
- Legal Costs: Support for defence and settlement if lawsuits arise from contractor operations.
Because demo services involve heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and potential exposure to unpredictable risks, confirmation of proof of insurance and WSIB coverage is required for your protection as a property owner.
