Just a special thanks to Danny and the team. We were very happy with service and would definitely recommend. Initial quote was prompt and potential variation associated with non-standard blade concrete footings (high risk in our area) was communicated to us prior. Extremely quick to get on top of service abolition and helpful staff when we phoned with a few queries. A delay for work start was communicated well before initial scheduled time and was understandable given atrocious weather days prior not to mention that COVID thing!. Work was done in very timely and professional

Such a wonderful experience with Magill Demolition. From the moment the quote came out Danny was very professional and was very attentive of our boundary neighbours concerns.
Danny kept us in the loop with every step, and was happy for us to watch the demolition. Now for our forever home! A massive thank you Danny and the team at Magill Demolition.
