Demolition for Wollongong knock-down rebuilds, renovations and site clearing
Ademco Solutions demolishes houses, garages, sheds, granny flats and pools across the Wollongong area, from Helensburgh and the northern suburbs to Dapto and Port Kembla. We run our own excavators and hold both a SafeWork NSW demolition licence (AD213563) and a Class B asbestos removal licence (AD214091), so the asbestos and the demolition are done by one contractor, not two.
Most of our demolition work is for homeowners doing a knock-down rebuild and for builders who need a block cleared by a set date. We check for asbestos before anything comes down, keep dust down with water while we work, separate the waste as it comes out, and hand back a level site that is ready for the next stage.

Demolishing a house in Wollongong: what to expect
In NSW a house can be demolished under a complying development certificate (CDC) if the property and the work meet the state Demolition Code. A CDC can be issued by a private certifier or the council. If the property is heritage listed, sits in a heritage conservation area or does not meet the code, demolition goes through a development application with Wollongong City Council instead. Your certifier or the council can confirm which applies to your block.
Under the Demolition Code, asbestos in a building constructed before 1987 has to be removed by a licensed contractor before demolition starts, and your neighbours have to be notified before work begins. Once approvals are in place and the power, gas, water and phone are disconnected, our crew arrives with the excavator. Any asbestos comes out first, the structure is taken down in a controlled sequence with water on hand for dust, and materials are separated as they come out. We finish by taking the waste away and leaving the block level and ready for your builder.

Demolition FAQs for Wollongong
How much does demolition cost in Wollongong?
It depends on the size and construction of the house, how easy the site is to get into, whether asbestos is present and what needs to happen with the slab, footings, driveway and any pool. We inspect first and give you a free, itemised quote so you can see exactly what is included.
Do I need council approval to demolish a house in Wollongong?
Yes. You need either a complying development certificate (CDC) from a private certifier or the council, or a development application through Wollongong City Council. Heritage listed properties and heritage conservation areas have extra limits. We can point you to a certifier and tell you what they will need from us.
How long does a house demolition take?
Once approvals are in place and the services are disconnected, a typical single-storey house takes a few days on site, including taking the waste away. Asbestos removal, large slabs or tight access add time, and we confirm the timeframe in your quote.
What about asbestos in the house?
A house built before 1990 is likely to contain asbestos, and any asbestos has to be removed before demolition begins. We hold a Class B asbestos licence and handle this as part of the job. See asbestos removal in Wollongong.
Do you remove the concrete slab and footings?
Yes. We can remove the slab, footings, driveways, paths and pool shells, and leave the site level and ready for your builder. Tell us what your builder needs and we will quote it that way.
