Most demolition quotes look the same until the extras turn up

Partly demolished house with exposed rubble

Your plans are done, and your builder is waiting. You have 2 or 3 demolition quotes, and they look much the same.

Then the job starts. Asbestos turns up that nobody mentioned. The slab or the driveway wasn't in the price. The crew stops picking up the phone.

Every week of delay pushes your build back. Your builder can't start until the block is clear.

On a knockdown rebuild, demolition is the one stage you can't afford to get wrong.

Excavation

Need the block dug out for your build? Our team does bulk excavation. We quote it separately from demolition, because every block is different. Rock, clay, shale or a basement can mean 10 trucks or 100.

What's included in a demolition quote?

The house, plus slab and footing removal, driveways, rock, pools and retaining walls. Asbestos you can see in the home is included, wet areas too. Tree removal is a separate cost. Your written quote lists everything it covers.

Do you do excavation as well?

Yes. Our team does bulk excavation for your build. We quote it separately from demolition, because every block is different. Rock, clay, shale or a basement can mean 10 trucks or 100.

How much does it cost to demolish a house in Sydney?

It depends on the size of the house, what it's built from, site access and what's on the block. That's why we visit before we quote. Your free site visit happens within a week of your request, and your quote follows the next day.

What if you find something nobody could see at the site visit?

Some things can't be seen or tested before work starts, like what's underground, behind walls or in ceilings. If we find one, we stop, show you and agree the cost in writing first. Everything else on your quote stays as quoted.

What if there's asbestos?

Asbestos you can see in the home is included in your demolition quote, including the kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Buried or hidden asbestos is different. We assess it, then agree the cost with you in writing before we remove it. We're licensed for asbestos removal, and you get a clearance certificate at the end. Asbestos removal is part of a full demolition job, not a stand-alone service.

How long does a house demolition take?

Work can usually start about 3 weeks after you accept your quote. That's once your demolition approval and neighbour notices are ready. We allow 7 to 10 working days for the job. A single-storey house is usually down within 3 days, weather permitting.

Do I need approval to demolish my house?

Yes. You need demolition approval from a private certifier or your local council. We help you with the application, and our clients get a special price on private certifier fees. Approval times depend on the certifier or council.

Will my neighbours' property be protected?

We install 1.8 m security fencing and signage before work starts. We use dust suppression during demolition, and we carry public liability insurance.

Are you the cheapest demolition company in Sydney?

We don't try to be. We quote the job properly at the start, with every inclusion listed. Our customers choose us because they know what they're paying for.

Which areas do you cover?

Our office is in Putney. Our busiest areas are Parramatta and Western Sydney, Ryde and the Northern Districts, and Sutherland Shire. We also work across the Upper North Shore and Hornsby, Blacktown and Mt Druitt, the Northern Beaches and Inner West. You'll find us in Canterbury-Bankstown, St George, the Hills District, and Fairfield and Liverpool. We also cover the Eastern Suburbs and South Sydney, the Lower North Shore and Penrith.
