Why Skilled Demolition Workers and Strip-Out Specialists Choose Grafter
Grafter works for the full range of demolition work in the UK. Experienced CCDO-carded operatives looking for steady strip-out and knockdown jobs without an agency skimming their day rate. Two-man strip-out crews who run their own van, breaker, and skip-hire contacts and want a direct line to clients. Newer workers with CSCS and asbestos awareness chasing strip-out labouring work while they build towards their CCDO. And concrete-breaking specialists with CPCS tickets who want to pick up slab and driveway removal jobs between bigger demolition projects. Whichever of those you are, one Grafter profile puts every ticket and every review in front of the client before a single message gets sent.
The difference between Grafter and a demolition agency is simple: nothing comes off your rate. No daily margin, no agency-controlled timesheet, and no one else deciding which sites you get sent to. You agree the scope and the rate directly with the client, keep 100% of it, and your ticket uploads and reviews stay attached to your profile whatever happens. That is why plenty of carded demolition workers use Grafter to fill days between bigger contracts, and why a lot of smaller strip-out crews use it as their main source of work entirely.
Demolition rarely happens on its own — most jobs lead into labouring, groundworks, or a rebuild. If you also take labouring work, groundworks jobs, or general construction work, you can list every skill on the same Grafter profile and apply across all of them.

What Demolition Workers Say About Grafter
★★★★★
"Used to work off an agency rota in Belfast and every day-rate they sent me had their cut built in. Put a proper profile up on Grafter with my CCDO, UKATA, and a handful of strip-out photos, and two days later a fit-out firm in town messaged me for a full shop unit. Three jobs in and the same client has put me on their books for every turnover."
★★★★★
"Run a two-man crew in and around Hull doing mostly slab work, chimney breasts, and structural openings. The Grafter feed filters to my travel radius so I'm not wasting hours bidding on jobs an hour's drive away. Picked up a full week of breaker work on a warehouse floor from a single post — no agency in the middle of it."
★★★★★
"Not long off my labouring ticket and I'd been chasing strip-out work through Facebook groups for months. Built the Grafter profile on a Sunday, and by the following weekend I had a kitchen pull and a utility room on the same road in Swindon. Reviews from those two jobs booked me into the client's loft conversion a month later."

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find demolition worker jobs on Grafter?
Sign up free, build a demolition profile with your tickets (CCDO, CSCS, UKATA asbestos awareness, any CPCS plant tickets), your travel radius, and a few photos of past strip-outs or demolition work you have been part of. Jobs matched to your area and skills drop straight into your feed and inbox, and you apply in one click.
Is Grafter free to join as a demolition worker?
Yes. Joining Grafter as a demolition worker is free — no signup charge, no monthly subscription, and no fee to apply for jobs. Grafter only takes a small fee on the client side, so what you and the client agree is what you walk away with.
How do I get paid for demolition work on Grafter?
Once you and the client agree the strip-out, knockdown, or clearance job and the rate, you create a work agreement on the platform that covers the scope and payment terms. Payment runs through Grafter securely once the job is complete, so you are not chasing invoices after a strip-out or waiting on an agency payroll run.
What documents should I upload to my demolition worker profile?
The strongest demolition profiles include a CSCS card, a CCDO (Certificate of Competence for Demolition Operatives) at the right level for the work you take, UKATA asbestos awareness training, any relevant plant tickets (CPCS breaker, mini excavator, MEWP), public liability insurance if you carry your own, and photos from past strip-outs, knockdowns, or concrete breaking jobs. Clients see your documents, reviews, and work history side by side before they message you.
What types of demolition jobs can I find on Grafter?
The platform covers the full demolition spectrum — residential strip-outs (kitchens, bathrooms, whole floors), commercial soft strip before fit-outs, structural knockdowns like chimney breasts and load-bearing walls, concrete slab and driveway breaking, full-site clearance support, and asbestos-aware selective work where UKATA training is relevant.
How does Grafter differ from a traditional demolition agency?
An agency adds a daily margin onto your day rate, controls which jobs you get, and can drop you off their list without warning. Grafter is a direct-hire platform — you keep 100% of the rate you agree with the client, build your own direct relationships, and pick the jobs you want to take. There is no commission on your pay.
Do I need my own tools to work as a demolition worker on Grafter?
Most jobs expect you to bring the basics: full PPE (hard hat, hi-vis, steel-toe boots, gloves, goggles, dust mask or respirator) plus the hand tools for soft strip — claw hammer, crowbar, pry bar, bolt cutters, reciprocating saw, and SDS drill. Larger plant like breakers, mini excavators, or skip loaders is normally supplied by the client or main contractor, but carded operators often bring their own kit. Every job post spells out what is expected.
Can I set my own availability and choose which demolition jobs to apply for?
Yes. Your availability, travel radius, and the list of jobs you apply to are all under your control. Take a single day on a kitchen rip-out, a week on a commercial soft strip, or a long stint on a major knockdown — Grafter has no minimum hours and no exclusivity clauses, so you can use Grafter alongside any agencies or main contractors you already work for.
How do reviews work for demolition workers on Grafter?
After each paid demolition job the client can leave a review on your profile. Those reviews stay with you permanently — your reputation is portable across every client and every job. Demolition workers with a run of solid reviews tend to be shortlisted far more often when a strip-out or knockdown job is posted in their area.
How do I win more demolition work on Grafter?
The demolition workers who get hired most often tend to have a complete profile, their CCDO/CSCS/UKATA documents uploaded, clear before-and-after photos of past strip-outs or knockdowns, a sensible travel radius, and a handful of reviews from earlier jobs. Replying to client messages quickly is the other big one — a lot of demolition jobs go to whichever worker gives the clearest answer first.
