Deconstruction of Grenfell Tower gets under way
Uxbridge Gazette
|September 10, 2025
WORKS WILL TAKE PLACE FLOOR BY FLOOR
 
 A LIKELY two-year process to deconstruct Grenfell Tower is under way.
The Government announced earlier this year that the remains of the building - where a deadly fire broke out in 2017 and claimed the lives of 72 people - will be brought down.
Preparations had been taking place over the summer and work to remove a former plant room, which previously housed heating and a water tank, on top of the tower has started.
After this part, which could take weeks, is completed, work to remove the tower's 24th floor - the top storey - will begin.
The floor-by-floor work is being carried out by Deconstruct UK (DUK), which has been involved in the maintenance of the site since 2017. The Government has pledged that the demolition will be carried out “with great care and sensitivity” and said the plan for careful deconstruction “is designed to minimise noise and disruption” in the area.
