Slab & Concrete Removal — Deeper Detail

Slab removal looks simple but pricing comes down to thickness, reinforcement and tipping logistics. Here's how we work it out.

Job Workflow

Saw-cut perimeter where the slab abuts kept structures
Excavator-mounted hammer or rock breaker breaks the slab into manageable lumps
Strip mesh and rebar with grapple or hand
Load to tipper
Truck to concrete recycler or licensed tip
Final scrape and level

Cost Drivers

Slab thickness (100mm domestic vs 200mm+ industrial)
Reinforcement density
Footings, beams and edge thickenings
Disposal distance
Recycling vs landfill — clean concrete is cheaper to tip
