In short
We carry out machine demolition of warehouses, industrial units and concrete in Alhaurín de la Torre, sort the rubble on site and take it to authorised facilities with delivery receipts. The municipality has six industrial estates and many residential developments on its outskirts, so most jobs combine heavy work with close neighbours. Your técnico prepares the documentation; we carry out the demolition.
What kind of industrial demolition comes up in Alhaurín de la Torre?
Most enquiries here concern units on the industrial estates: the municipality has six of them, and buildings that have reached the end of their useful life are replaced rather than refurbished. Alhaurín de la Torre belongs to the Valle del Guadalhorce comarca and lies about 18 km from Málaga city, which keeps demand for business premises steady and gives older units a value as plots.
Typical jobs include:
- Steel-framed or concrete-block units with a mezzanine office, taken down as part of our warehouse and industrial demolition service.
- Yards, loading bays and internal floor slabs that a new building cannot reuse, broken out under slab and foundation removal.
- Single units in a terrace, where the neighbouring units stay in business and the party wall has to be protected.
Demolishing one unit in a terrace of warehouses
When a unit shares walls with others, the demolition is planned around the building that stays. The roof and cladding come off first, the frame is cut back towards the open side and the last metres along the party wall are worked by hand or with a small machine, so that no load or impact reaches the neighbour.
Your técnico decides whether the shared wall stays, how it is finished and whether it needs temporary bracing. We follow that documentation and tell you in advance which days will be noisy, so that the neighbouring businesses can plan around them. Steel from the frame and cladding is separated as it comes down and leaves as its own fraction.
Older units often have fibre-cement roof sheets. If that is suspected, the asbestos removal is carried out first by a company registered in the RERA working as our subcontractor; we coordinate the rest of the demolition around it.
Close neighbours: residential developments next to the estates
The outskirts of Alhaurín de la Torre contain many residential developments, such as Retamar, El Lagar, Pinos de Alhaurín and Taralpe. Where a demolition plot sits near housing, dust and noise matter as much as the structure itself.
- Water spray or mist at the point where the machine is working, rather than wetting the whole site.
- Breakers used in planned blocks, with crushers or shears preferred for concrete where possible, because they cause less vibration and noise.
- Lorries loaded inside the plot whenever there is room, so that the road stays clear.
Our machine demolition page explains how the attachment is chosen for each element.
Skip hire or direct loading in Alhaurín de la Torre?
On an industrial plot with turning space, rubble is usually loaded straight onto tipper lorries by excavator, one fraction at a time. Skips make sense for smaller jobs, such as breaking out a patio or a driveway at a house in one of the developments, where a lorry cannot get close. Our rubble removal and skips are organised as part of the demolition we carry out, not as stand-alone skip hire.
If a skip has to stand on the public road, the town hall's authorisation for occupation of the road is needed first. Before work starts, check with the ayuntamiento whether the demolition goes by declaración responsable or by licence; your técnico prepares that documentation. For the demolition of a house or villa in the town rather than an industrial building, see Demoliciones Málaga in Alhaurín de la Torre.

Frequently asked questions
Can you demolish a single unit on an industrial estate in Alhaurín de la Torre while the others keep working?
Yes. The work is sequenced so that the party walls and the neighbouring units are protected, and the noisiest days are announced in advance.
Do you take out the internal floor slab of a warehouse as well as the building?
Yes, if the new project needs it. How deep the slab and foundations are removed is agreed beforehand with your técnico.
My unit has an old fibre-cement roof. Can the rest of the demolition still go ahead?
Yes, after the roof has been removed. That work is carried out by a RERA-registered company working as our subcontractor, and its waste is kept separate.
Can you break out a driveway at a house in one of the residential developments?
Yes. Small jobs like that are usually done with a compact machine and the rubble leaves in a skip or rubble bags.
How do you keep dust down near houses?
With water at the point of work, by choosing quieter attachments where the structure allows and by loading lorries inside the plot.
Will you file the paperwork with the Alhaurín de la Torre town hall?
No. The owner and their técnico handle the declaración responsable or licence; we work from their documentation and coordinate dates.
Do you remove foundations?
Yes, to the depth agreed with you and your técnico according to what the site will be used for.
Which VAT rate applies to demolition work?
Demolition is generally taxed at the standard 21 % VAT; certain renovation works on private homes may qualify for 10 % if the conditions of the VAT law are met. Each quote states the rate.
Do you work on industrial estates across the province of Málaga?
Yes. We demolish warehouses and industrial buildings on business parks and industrial estates throughout the province of Málaga.
How is the rubble taken away?
In skips, rubble bags or straight onto lorries, depending on volume and access, always sorted by fraction.
