Transparent Pricing With No Surprises
One of the first questions homeowners ask is, “How much does it cost to demolish a house in Sydney?”
The house demolition costs usually falls between $15,000 and $35,000, depending on property size, building materials, site conditions, and whether asbestos or heritage approvals are involved.
Every quote we provide is fixed, covering permits, utility disconnections, demolition, waste removal, and final cleanup. Once you approve, the price won’t change — no hidden charges, no unexpected extras.
We Handle Everything So You Don’t Have To
Moving from demolition decision to construction-ready site shouldn’t stress you out. Our team manages council approvals, coordinates with utility companies, and schedules around your neighbours’ needs.
We’ve worked on streets from Bondi Beach to Blacktown, understanding each area’s specific requirements. Your project manager keeps you updated throughout, and our cleanup standards ensure your neighbours stay happy, too.

Local Sydney Expertise That Makes the Difference
Regulatory Knowledge
Every Sydney council has different requirements. We know Woollahra’s heritage considerations, Canterbury-Bankstown’s environmental protocols, and Northern Beaches’ coastal protection rules.
Specialized Equipment
Our modern demolition equipment handles everything from compact Paddington terraces to large Sutherland Shire family homes. Safe access solutions work even on those challenging sloping blocks.
Waste Management
We partner with certified Sydney disposal facilities, routing materials to appropriate recycling centres. Your demolished materials stay local and get processed responsibly.
Seasonal Planning
Sydney’s weather patterns affect demolition timing. We schedule around storm seasons and coordinate with your builder’s timeline for seamless project flow.
Neighborhood Relations
We respect your community. Noise management, dust control, and courteous crews keep disruption minimal – crucial when working in established neighbourhoods.
Minimising Disruption for Neighbours
House demolition usually happens in established neighbourhoods where people live right next door. We make sure your project doesn’t create unnecessary conflict. Our team installs protective barriers, uses dust and noise control methods, and keeps work areas contained. We also communicate with neighbours where required, so the process runs smoothly without disputes.
Case Study – Family Home Demolition in Leichhardt
A family in Leichhardt engaged us to demolish their 1920s brick home to make way for a modern rebuild. The project involved asbestos roofing, close proximity to neighbours, and narrow street access. Our team safely removed the asbestos, used compact machinery to avoid damaging adjoining properties, and recycled most of the brick and timber. The site was cleared within two weeks, ready for construction, with zero complaints from neighbours.
Heritage and Asbestos Management
Older Sydney homes often come with heritage restrictions or asbestos. Both require careful handling.
Our licensed asbestos removal team follows strict SafeWork NSW protocols, safely removing and disposing of hazardous materials through approved Sydney facilities. For heritage-listed homes, we work with Heritage NSW and local councils to balance compliance with project timelines.
This experience ensures your project remains safe, legal, and free from unnecessary delays.
Preparing Your Site for the Next Stage
Demolition is just the first step in your rebuild journey. We also prepare your block for construction by removing foundations and driveways, disconnecting and capping utilities, and levelling the site. By the time we finish, your block is clean, safe, and ready for your builder to begin.
