There is lots of work for builders in Cornwall. People need good dwellings. Sometime they buy an old house. Perhaps the interior is behind the times. It could be in poor condition or dangerous. The rooms could be too small. The builders must pull out all sorts of things – a partition, plasterwork, old floorboards, a bath tub, perhaps a whole kitchen. Then, sometimes, there’s a need to rewire the house (for electricity). Rubble and rubbish can be taken away in a skip or big bags. However, from time to time it is better to take the whole house away and start again.
