Demolition Contractor Wahroonga

Direct Demolition provides demolition, excavation and asbestos removal services across Wahroonga and the surrounding Upper North Shore area. Wahroonga is one of Ku-ring-gai's premier suburbs — heritage-listed Federation homes, large blocks, mature canopy trees and strict council overlays governing every demolition. 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 Wahroonga job.

Demolition Services in Wahroonga

Whether you need a full house knockdown in Wahroonga, 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 Wahroonga regularly and understand what Ku-ring-gai Council looks for in a demolition submission.

House Knockdowns in Wahroonga

Knockdown-rebuild jobs are the bread and butter of our Wahroonga 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 Wahroonga single-storey knockdowns take 5–10 working days start to finish; double-storey homes 10–15 working days.

Excavation in Wahroonga

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

Asbestos Removal in Wahroonga

Many Wahroonga 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 Wahroonga — 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 Wahroonga

Renovating rather than rebuilding? We handle internal strip-outs in Wahroonga — 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 Wahroonga

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

Do you handle asbestos removal in Wahroonga?

Yes. We hold NSW Asbestos Class B licence AD214613 and handle bonded asbestos in-house across Wahroonga — 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 Wahroonga?

A standard single-storey knockdown in Wahroonga 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 Wahroonga?

Most Wahroonga 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 Wahroonga?

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 Wahroonga?

Yes — up to 15 metres in height, which covers the vast majority of two-storey homes in Wahroonga. 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.
