Demolition in Craiova

About this service

Demolition work is needed when renovating interior spaces, reconfiguring apartments or houses, or when demolishing old structures to make way for new ones. Demolition services include breaking down and demolishing interior walls (load-bearing or partition), removing old screeds and floor coverings, stripping tiles and cladding, removing existing plumbing or electrical installations, debris removal and transport, as well as complete demolition of small structures (garages, sheds, fences). A demolition specialist has the necessary tools and equipment (pneumatic hammers, angle grinders, wheelbarrows) and knows techniques that minimize dust and protect the building structure. Before demolishing any wall, it's essential to determine whether it's load-bearing — mistakes here can endanger the stability of the entire building.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does interior wall demolition cost in Craiova?

Demolishing a non-load-bearing interior wall costs 300-600 RON on average, including debris removal. Load-bearing walls require a structural solution (steel lintel) and cost 600-1,500 RON or more.

How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?

Load-bearing walls are typically thicker (25-30 cm or more), perpendicular to beam direction, and appear in the structural project. A structural engineer or experienced builder can identify load-bearing walls before demolition.

Do I need a building permit to demolish an interior wall?

Demolishing non-load-bearing interior partition walls generally doesn't require a building permit in private apartments. However, check the condominium regulations and consult a specialist before starting.

What happens if I demolish a load-bearing wall without reinforcement?

Removing a load-bearing wall without replacing it with a lintel or structural beam can cause sagging or collapse of the floor slab above. This intervention requires a structural project and technical certification.

How much does debris removal cost after demolition?

Debris removal costs between 200 and 500 RON depending on quantity and distance to the authorized disposal point. Some teams include removal in the demolition price, others quote it separately.

How long does interior wall demolition take?

Demolishing a 10-15 sqm wall takes 4-8 hours for a 2-person team, plus time for debris removal. With pneumatic equipment, the duration can be significantly reduced.
