Telegraph Pole Removal & Recovery
Our telegraph pole removal crews take out redundant poles safely, recover them responsibly and reinstate the site. The only evidence we were there is the pole not being there.

The forces in an old pole are unforgiving, so our methods aren't guesswork
Reinstatement is part of the job, not an extra.
Poles, cables and stays recovered as one package, with copper jointing works where required.
We check the pole genuinely carries nothing live — removing an active pole is a catastrophe we don't sell.
Extraction method chosen for the ground and access; RAMS issued.
Pole out, stays and plant recovered, cables recovered where in scope.
Hole filled and compacted, surface made good, waste documented and disposed of properly.

If it’s genuinely redundant and privately owned, yes. If it carries or carried network services, ownership needs confirming first — Openreach owns most public network poles. Send a photo and we’ll advise honestly; see our landowner services.
[Confirm policy disposal/recycling arrangements]
Yes — that’s step one of every removal, and we won’t touch it until ownership and status are certain.
[Confirm disposal/recycling policy — treated timber requires proper disposal routes]
