Why Sydney Homeowners Trust Get It Away
Garage demolition is more than knocking down walls. It requires a licensed team who understands safety codes, heritage restrictions, and the quirks of Sydney properties. For over two decades, families across the city have trusted us because we combine technical skill with a customer-first approach.

How Much Does Garage Demolition Cost in Sydney?
One of the first questions we hear is, “What does garage demolition cost in Sydney?” For most properties, costs range from $3,500 to $8,000. Several factors influence the final price:
Size and type of structure – Single timber garages are straightforward, while double brick or concrete garages require heavier machinery and more disposal.
Access conditions – Narrow laneways or sloping blocks need specialist equipment, which can affect both time and cost.
Hazardous materials – Asbestos or underground fuel tanks increase project complexity because of safety and disposal protocols.
Connection to the home – A detached garage is faster and cheaper to remove compared to one that shares walls with the house.
Every quote we provide is fixed and includes permits, demolition, asbestos checks, disposal, and cleanup. Once you accept, the price will not change.
How Long Does It Take to Demolish a Garage?
Timelines are just as important as costs. Many homeowners ask how quickly a garage can be removed once the paperwork is sorted.
A small detached garage can usually be demolished and cleared within 48 hours.
Double garages or those with more complex structures take a few extra days.
If asbestos is involved, additional safety steps extend the schedule slightly, but our trained team keeps the process efficient.
Emergency demolitions for unsafe or storm-damaged garages can start within 24 hours of approval.
Our process is designed to move at the pace of Sydney’s property market, so you’re never left waiting around.

Case Study – Narrow Lane Garage in Balmain
A client in Balmain needed a double garage demolished to make way for a granny flat. The property had a laneway only 2.5 metres wide, making access difficult. Using compact machinery and selective removal techniques, our team completed the demolition in just two days. The slab was removed, materials recycled, and the block handed over to the builder without disruption to nearby terraces. The project was delivered on time and at the fixed price agreed.
Eco-Friendly Garage Demolition
Homeowners increasingly want to know what happens to demolition waste. Our approach focuses on recycling and sustainability. Concrete is crushed into road base for new developments. Metals are sent to Sydney scrap yards for reuse. Timber is processed into biomass fuel. Only a small portion of materials ends up in landfill. This approach not only benefits the environment but also satisfies Sydney council sustainability requirements.
Council Approvals Made Simple
Yes, most garage demolitions in Sydney require council approval. The process varies depending on garage size, construction type, and whether the property is located in a heritage area. Our team manages the entire approval process. We complete the paperwork, liaise with council officers, and ensure your project complies with NSW regulations. Approvals typically take two to three weeks. In the meantime, we line up equipment and schedules so demolition can start as soon as approval is granted.
