Sydney’s Demolition Company

Licensed Demolition Contractors Across Sydney

H&R Demolition & Excavation is a Sydney demolition company that takes a site from standing structure to a clean, level block — with the approvals guidance, asbestos removal, demolition, excavation and waste paperwork handled by one licensed crew.

Homeowners use us for house demolition in Sydney ahead of a knockdown rebuild; builders and developers bring us in for structural and partial demolition, commercial demolition and industrial demolition; and property managers call us for office strip outs and make goods. As demolition contractors in Sydney, we hold the licensing for both demolition and asbestos removal, and our excavation crews can cut the site to level straight after.

Every demolition job in Sydney runs to AS 2601 with a written plan and safe work method statement, and we quote a fixed, itemised price after a free site inspection. We work right across the city, with local pages for demolition in Parramatta, Sutherland Shire, Penrith, Blacktown, Liverpool, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, Hills District, Canterbury-Bankstown and Northern Beaches.

Demolition Sydney: What to Expect From Your Demolition Company

Choosing a demolition company in Sydney is mostly about trust: that the job will be safe and legal, that the price will hold, and that the site will be left the way your builder needs it. H&R Demolition & Excavation is a licensed Sydney demolition contractor working across the metro area for homeowners, builders, developers and businesses. Every job is quoted at a fixed, itemised price after a free inspection.

What a good demolition contractor should provide

  • Current licensing for demolition work and asbestos removal, which you can check through the NSW Government licence check
  • Public liability insurance, with certificates of currency on request
  • A written demolition plan in line with AS 2601 and a site-specific safe work method statement
  • A fixed, itemised quote covering asbestos, slab and footings, disposal and clean-up
  • Waste tracking, with disposal dockets showing where materials went
  • A clear program that works with your approvals, disconnections and builder’s start date

Our demolition services include house demolition for knockdown rebuilds, building and partial demolition, commercial demolition, industrial demolition, strip outs, office strip outs and make goods, licensed asbestos removal and excavation and site cuts.

How much does demolition cost in Sydney?

As a guide for 2026, demolishing a single-storey timber home in Sydney is roughly $18,000 to $28,000, a single-storey brick home roughly $25,000 to $40,000, and a two-storey home roughly $35,000 to $55,000 or more. Asbestos, access and slab removal all affect the final price. Our house demolition cost guide breaks it down, and our demolition timeline guide explains how long each stage takes.

Frequently Asked

House Demolition In Sydney — Answered

Every site is different — size, materials, asbestos, access and how the waste is disposed of all affect the price. A single-storey brick or weatherboard home is typically a fixed-price job once we’ve inspected it. Book a free site inspection and we’ll give you a clear, itemised quote with no obligation.
Once approvals and disconnections are in place, a standard house knockdown is usually completed within a few days. Larger, structural or staged commercial jobs take longer — we give you a realistic program in your quote and keep you updated throughout.
Most demolition work needs council or private-certifier approval and service disconnections before we start. We guide you through what’s required, provide the written demolition plan and SWMS, and coordinate the paperwork so nothing holds the job up.
Yes. Because we hold asbestos licensing in-house, we handle removal, air monitoring and clearance certificates as part of the demolition — no separate contractor, no gap in the program, and all waste is disposed of and tracked to EPA requirements.
Demolition, asbestos and excavation all sit under one roof, every job runs to AS 2601, and we’re licensed, insured and recycle-first. You get one accountable team, clear communication and a site handed back clean, level and ready for the next trade.
