Demolition Contractor Pymble

Direct Demolition provides demolition, excavation and asbestos removal services across Pymble and the surrounding Upper North Shore area. Pymble is a large, leafy Ku-ring-gai suburb known for grand homes on big blocks — most demolitions here involve heritage checks, tree protection and detailed neighbour notification. We're a family-owned Sydney demolition contractor with our own equipment — 3 excavators and 2 hook-lift trucks — which means sharp pricing, fast mobilisation and no subcontractor markup on your Pymble job.

Demolition Services in Pymble

Whether you need a full house knockdown in Pymble, a partial demolition, a garage or pool removal, or an internal strip-out before renovation, Direct Demolition handles the whole scope in-house. We work with homeowners, builders and developers across Pymble regularly and understand what Ku-ring-gai Council looks for in a demolition submission.

House Knockdowns in Pymble

Knockdown-rebuild jobs are the bread and butter of our Pymble work. If you're planning to knock down your existing home and build new, we'll demolish the structure, remove the slab if required, cart away all debris and deliver a clean, level site ready for your builder. Most Pymble single-storey knockdowns take 5–10 working days start to finish; double-storey homes 10–15 working days.

Excavation in Pymble

We carry out bulk excavation for new home builds, extensions, basement digs, pool excavations and civil works in Pymble. Our excavators are already working across Upper North Shore, which means fast mobilisation and competitive pricing on your Pymble excavation project. Rock, tight access, sloping sites — we've done all of it.

Asbestos Removal in Pymble

Many Pymble homes built before 1990 contain bonded asbestos in fibro cladding, roofing, eaves, wet-area sheeting and vinyl floor tiles. We are NSW Asbestos Class B licensed (AD214613) and remove bonded asbestos in-house across Pymble — either as part of a full demolition or as a stand-alone job. All work is compliant with SafeWork NSW notification, control and clearance requirements.

Strip-Outs & Partial Demolition in Pymble

Renovating rather than rebuilding? We handle internal strip-outs in Pymble — kitchens, bathrooms, walls, ceilings, floors and services. Everything comes out clean, everything gets tracked, and we hand the shell back to your builder ready for the new fit-out.

Pool Removal in Pymble

In-ground concrete and fibreglass pool removal across Pymble. We break out the shell, cart away the spoil, and backfill and compact the void ready for landscaping or a new build. Typical Pymble backyard pools take 2–4 working days.

Nearby Areas We Also Serve

Do you handle asbestos removal in Pymble?

Yes. We hold NSW Asbestos Class B licence AD214613 and handle bonded asbestos in-house across Pymble — assessment, licensed removal, disposal at SafeWork NSW-approved facilities, and clearance certificates. Friable (Class A) asbestos is coordinated with licensed partners.

How long does a demolition take in Pymble?

A standard single-storey knockdown in Pymble takes 5–10 working days from start to a clean level pad. Double-storey homes are typically 10–15 working days. Timing includes SafeWork NSW notifications (5+ working days for asbestos work) and neighbour notifications required by Ku-ring-gai Council.

Do I need council approval to demolish in Pymble?

Most Pymble demolitions need either a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) via a private certifier or a Development Application (DA) via Ku-ring-gai Council. Heritage-listed properties and sites in conservation areas usually require a DA. We can point you to the right pathway before you commit.

Are you licensed and insured for work in Pymble?

NSW Demolition Licence AD214611, Asbestos Class B AD214613, $20M public liability, Workers Compensation, and plant insurance. Certificates on request. All work performed by our own crew with our own excavators and hook-lift trucks.

Can you demolish two-storey homes in Pymble?

Yes — up to 15 metres in height, which covers the vast majority of two-storey homes in Pymble. Anything above 15m (large apartment blocks, tall commercial) we refer to a specialist high-reach contractor. For everything else we use our own 20-tonne excavator with a demo attachment.
