Colemans

Colemans was founded in October 1962 by John and Norah Coleman in the back room of their house in Stechford, Birmingham. It is a family-run business now in its third generation and has over 60 years of experience in deconstruction and demolition. Colemans is approved by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) as a Chartered Building Company and is a member of the CIOB's EDI charter. Its services include demolition, remediation, specialist cutting and engineering support.

Colemans is the trading name of CNC Group Holdings Limited, and Mark Coleman is the CEO and Managing Director. It won the Recycling and Environmental Award and 'Best of the Best' award at the World Demolition Awards in Canada. Colemans has a Net Zero target across all operations and invested around £250,000 at its Birmingham HQ in solar PV technology and energy efficient air conditioning. It uses advanced machinery and robotics in its engineered deconstruction processes.

Colemans is described by those who have worked with the firm as a professional and approachable operation, with demolition and construction projects forming the backdrop to much of the feedback. Reviewers repeatedly name Andy and Kristi alongside the wider crew, noting a personable manner that makes joint working straightforward. Careful planning and a safe, well-managed approach to site work come through strongly, and the company is said to have earned recognition in the demolition sector for its commitment to training.

Narrow channels cut through a concrete slab by members of the team were finished to a standard one customer called near perfect, with the same account praising clear communication and a fair price. Elsewhere, the courtesy and efficiency of staff are highlighted, and a project in Pollokshaws in Glasgow is remembered for the team's ethics and its consideration for residents living nearby. Long-standing clients describe returning for repeat work and hoping to collaborate again, while other accounts single out the pleasant and professional conduct of everyone involved from first contact to completion. Forward thinking and consistent reliability across all aspects of a job are the qualities that surface most often.
