3-hour mobilisation when it matters most
When a building becomes dangerous, time is critical. WSS provides rapid emergency response for fire-damaged structures, storm damage, structural collapse, and dangerous buildings. We mobilise within 3 hours, working with local authorities and emergency services to make sites safe.
Our emergency teams are equipped and ready to respond to any structural emergency across the North East, day or night.
Rapid assessment and making safe of fire-damaged structures. We work alongside fire services and loss adjusters to secure sites, remove dangerous elements, and begin demolition or stabilisation as required.
Immediate response to partial or full structural collapse. Our teams carry out emergency shoring, debris removal, and controlled demolition of unstable elements to eliminate the danger to the public and adjacent properties.
Response to Dangerous Structure Notices issued by local authorities. We attend site, assess the risk, and carry out the necessary works to make the building safe, whether that means propping, partial demolition, or full removal.
We work directly with local authority building control and emergency planning teams across the North East. Our established relationships mean faster response times and smoother coordination during emergencies.
A proven response protocol that gets the right people and equipment on site fast.
Your call is answered by a decision-maker, not a call centre. We assess the situation over the phone, begin mobilising plant and operatives, and aim to have a team on site within 3 hours of your call.
On arrival, our team carries out an immediate risk assessment. We establish exclusion zones, implement temporary safety measures, and develop a plan to make the structure safe. We liaise directly with emergency services and building control.
We carry out the emergency works required, whether that is propping, partial demolition, or full removal. Once the immediate danger is resolved, we provide a full report and can manage any follow-on demolition or clearance works.
Speed, experience, and the right equipment, available around the clock.
We maintain emergency-ready plant and equipment at our depot, with on-call operatives available around the clock. When you call, we respond. Our target is to have a team on your site within 3 hours.
We have established working relationships with councils across the North East, regularly responding to Dangerous Structure Notices and working alongside building control officers during emergencies.
We carry comprehensive insurance cover for emergency works, giving you confidence that the works and any consequential matters are properly covered from the outset.
From the initial emergency response through to full demolition, site clearance, and waste disposal, WSS handles the entire process. One call, one contractor, complete resolution.
Emergency response often leads into these follow-on services.
If you have a dangerous structure or building emergency, call us now. Our team is available 24/7 and can mobilise within 3 hours.
