Full house knockdowns across Sydney — clean, level and rebuild-ready.
Planning a knockdown rebuild, a granny flat, or simply clearing an old structure? H&R Demolition & Excavation handles residential demolition across Sydney and Greater NSW — from single-storey weatherboard cottages to double-brick homes, garages, sheds, pools and outbuildings. We take the whole job off your hands, including the paperwork, the disconnections and the clean-up.
Every knockdown runs to Australian Standard AS 2601 with a written demolition plan, safe work method statement and full public-liability cover. We separate concrete, brick, steel and clean timber for recycling, and hand your block back level, tidy and rebuild-ready — on time and without surprises.

What a residential knockdown involves
A house demolition is far more than swinging a machine at a wall. Before we start, we confirm your approvals, arrange service disconnections (power, gas, water and telecommunications) and check the site for asbestos and other hazards. Salvageable materials are set aside, the structure is brought down in a controlled sequence, and all waste is loaded out and tracked to a licensed facility.
Because we hold asbestos licensing in-house, there is no waiting on a separate contractor if bonded or friable material turns up in eaves, fencing, flooring or wet-area sheeting. It is identified, removed, air-monitored and cleared as part of the one program.
Why homeowners and builders choose H&R
Most of our residential work comes from repeat builders, developers and homeowners who value a crew that turns up, keeps neighbours onside and leaves a clean site. We keep you informed from the first site inspection through to final handover, with realistic timeframes and a fixed, itemised quote — no vague estimate that balloons on the invoice.
Whether it is a tight inner-west block with limited access or a larger site in the Sutherland Shire, we bring the right plant, dust and noise controls, and traffic management to get it done safely and efficiently.
