Demolition across the Blue Mountains, from knock-down rebuilds to old sheds
Ademco Solutions demolishes houses, garages, sheds, granny flats and pools right across the Blue Mountains. We are based in Penrith, at the foot of the Mountains, run our own excavators, and hold both a SafeWork NSW demolition licence (AD213563) and a Class B asbestos removal licence (AD214091), so one contractor handles the asbestos and the demolition.
Blocks in the Mountains are often sloping, with long driveways or tight side access, so we look at access, machine size and where the waste will go before we quote. On the day we check for asbestos before anything comes down, keep dust down with water, separate the waste as it comes out, and hand back a level site that is ready for your builder.

Demolishing a house in the Blue Mountains: 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 needs a development application with Blue Mountains City Council instead. With so many older and heritage properties in the Mountains, it pays to check this early.
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 the Blue Mountains
How much does demolition cost in the Blue Mountains?
It depends on the size and construction of the house, the slope of the block and how easily a machine and trucks can get in, 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 the Blue Mountains?
Yes. You need either a complying development certificate (CDC) from a private certifier or the council, or a development application through Blue Mountains 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 the Blue Mountains.
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.
