Meet the team at Priestly Demolition, a family business with a big heart and with over 250 jobs a year. There are countless treasures to be found before the wrecking ball moves in. Once the buildings are stripped and the last brick has fallen the salvage team embarks on the fun, fast and furious auctioning and sale of the items discovered and we soon learn that people will pay for the strangest things.

An explosive series following work of demolition, salvage and waste management experts as they blast, crush and smash their way through a variety of structures which have had their day. And once they're down, the real work begins. From tower blocks to ships, to bridges to Victorian mansions...Every inch of material is removed as everything (and we mean everything) has value if you know where to take it and, more importantly, know when to sell it. With projects on this scale even a small shift in international metal markets could spell disaster for the Scrap Kings.

With space at a premium in many towns and cities, every year hundreds of thousands of unwanted buildings are razed to the ground to make way for something new. Featuring video footage of some of the world's biggest and most infamous disasters.

From vintage cars to buckets of old roofing screws, Lawrie has found it all. What he finds he drags back to his shop to sell, and he knows how to sell it for a quid.
