WHAT WE DO

Safe, Reliable and Efficient.


At JJ Duffy, our invaluable assets include our highly skilled and qualified team of demolition operatives, supported by our modern fleet of demolition plant and attachments, which we fully own. This ownership enables us to promptly allocate the appropriate resources to each project, ensuring safe and efficient completion of the works.

Benefiting from our extensive experience in both demolitions and civil works, we proudly offer a comprehensive “one-stop shop” solution for clients seeking a swift start to new projects.

OUR SERVICES


Demolition Made Easy.

At JJ Duffy, we possess the capabilities and resources necessary to successfully complete a wide range of demolition projects. Our expertise spans from small, individual houses to large-scale, intricate structural alterations.

JJ Duffy Demolition takes a meticulous approach to each project, employing precision and detailed planning. Our team of experts, with backgrounds in environmental remediation, engineering, dismantling, traditional demolition, material handling, and the latest technology, ensures that every project is executed safely, adhering to timelines and budgets.

We offer comprehensive demolition and clearance services, catering to various site types, including small residential houses, garages, industrial factories, educational facilities, commercial properties, and petrochemical sites, both in the public and private sectors. Our commitment to sustainable practices is evident through our waste management plan, which includes recycling efforts aimed at diverting waste from landfills whenever possible.

Crushing With Confidence.

JJ Duffy Demolition offers nationwide access to crushers and screeners for use or hire. Our xA400 Terex Pegson is a mobile crusher weighing 45 tonnes, with the capacity to crush over 1000 tonnes per day, depending on the material. To ensure efficiency, all our crushers are equipped with a magnet that separates any steel present in the concrete material being crushed. Additionally, our crushers are designed to minimize vibration and noise, and we utilize water suppression techniques to reduce dust.

Furthermore, we hold a crusher permit that grants us permission to operate within the Dublin City Council region.

As a recent addition to our fleet, we now have the Power screen Warrior 1400. This screener features a 3-way splitter, allowing us to clean, segregate, and recycle stockpiled materials on-site, sorting them into multiple grades based on particle size. This process enables us to reuse the separated materials, thereby reducing disposal costs on projects.

Safely Removing Asbestos.

JJ Duffy Demolition is a team of fully trained, insured, qualified, and experienced experts in low-grade asbestos removal.

When handling asbestos, we take strict precautions to ensure safety. Our team establishes an exclusion zone around the contaminated area, preventing public access to the work site. All our operatives involved in asbestos removal adhere to the highest safety standards and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including disposable Tyvek suits, disposable gloves, and disposable FFP3 filter face masks.

To meet regulatory requirements, the asbestos waste is meticulously packaged according to EU standards and transported to a licensed facility for proper disposal.

Precision Stripping Out.

The refurbishment of existing structures with suitable outer shells requires specialized expertise in demolition.

Stripping out is a diverse aspect of our operations, ranging from the removal of surplus soft furnishings and decorations to the complete internal demolition and strip out of walls and floors, while preserving the outer walls and roof.

If you are planning a site refurbishment, JJ Duffy Demolition provides a comprehensive service that includes stripping out, nonstructural and structural demolition, as well as the safe removal and disposal of asbestos or other hazardous materials.

Temporary Works, Lasting Solutions.

Given the inherent risks involved in demolition, conducting a thorough risk assessment is imperative whenever structural elements need to be removed. This precautionary measure is crucial in order to prevent any unintended damage to the building. In cases where temporary works designs are necessary, JJ Duffy engages a specialized design team with expertise in creating innovative solutions for complex and challenging scenarios.

We possess significant experience in providing and installing temporary works for various purposes, including:

  • Adjoining properties
  • Façades
  • Basement walls
  • Remaining structures
  • Shoring systems
  • Site hoarding and perimeter fencing

By employing temporary works, we ensure the safety and stability of the demolition process while addressing the unique requirements of each project. Our commitment to meticulous planning and expert execution allows us to navigate even the most intricate demolition scenarios with confidence.

Bulk Excavation Specialists.

At JJ Duffy, we understand the importance of meticulous attention to detail in bulk excavations. We are dedicated to meeting tight construction deadlines without compromising on the quality of our work and service.

With our extensive experience and well-equipped plant, we are capable of undertaking bulk excavations of various sizes. Whether it involves moving rock or rock/clay mixtures, we have the expertise to excavate, haul, and dispose of all inert materials efficiently.

Our team of experts excels in coordinating excavations, starting from piling installation and strategically sequencing the excavation process to accommodate construction works seamlessly.

In addition to bulk excavations, we possess the competence to handle the excavation and proper disposal of contaminated materials. Our approach involves isolating hazardous areas and conducting on-site screening of materials to minimize disposal costs.
