It was demolished on March 18, 2007 by Coleman & Co.. Preparations to demolish the block began 18 months before, in conjunction with the demolition partners Coleman & Co, following the re-housing of the remaining residents. The demolition of Hamilton House was filmed by the BBC for a new television series called Demolition aired on 16 May 2007. The rubble from the demolished tower block reached five storeys high.
