Water and sewerage charges force General Demolition into liquidation.

General Demolition Limited, operating from Weylands Treatment Works, in Walton-on-Thames, which dubbed itself’ one of the construction industry’s leading demolition and recycling contractors’, and had a multi-million Pound turnover, was ordered by Central London County Court to pay Veolia Water more than £23,000 in unpaid water charges from 2002-2008, and £35,000 towards costs.
