Clearing an old shed off an Auburn block, knocking a house down for a rebuild, or taking out an internal wall to open up a living space: these are the demolition jobs Auburn property owners ask us about most. Eco Demolition is a family-operated, licensed demolition contractor working across Auburn and the surrounding suburbs of Sydney's west. We handle the whole job under one contract, from the first site visit through council approvals, asbestos removal and the demolition itself, to a clean, construction-ready site. Auburn sits in the Cumberland City Council area, and knowing how that council assesses a demolition is part of what we bring to your quote.

Demolition Auburn: House Knockdowns, Shed Removals and Strip-Outs

Shed, garage and outbuilding demolition in Auburn

The most common demolition job on an Auburn block is not the whole house. It is the old shed, garage or outbuilding out the back, often a patchwork of timber, tin, fibro and glass sitting on a concrete slab. We pull the structure down, break out and cart away the slab where you want it gone, and clear the contents and rubbish so nothing is left behind. Mixed materials are sorted for compliant disposal and recycling, and where old sheeting or lining could contain asbestos, we test first and remove it under licence before anything else comes down. One crew, one contract, and the ground left ready for whatever comes next.

We cover the full range of demolition work in Auburn:

  • Full house demolition and knockdown rebuild site preparation
  • Shed, garage and outbuilding removal, including slabs and contents
  • Partial and internal demolition, including single wall removals
  • Office, shop and commercial strip-outs
  • Swimming pool removal and site restoration
  • Site clearing, excavation and bulk earthworks for the new build

A word on Eco Demolition

Eco Demolition was established in 2015 and is run by founder Adam A. Abbas alongside a close family team of nine. Its team members bring more than 60 years of combined trade experience between them, and the business has completed over 1,000 projects across Sydney. We built the company on a simple idea: do demolition properly, do it safely, do it once. That means licensed work, full insurance, honest advice and one point of contact from your first call through to handover. You can see our full licensing, accreditation and insurance details on our Sydney demolition service, which stands behind every Auburn job.

Demolition Auburn: House Knockdowns, Shed Removals and Strip-Outs

Knockdown rebuild and full house demolition in Auburn

When an Auburn house is coming down for a rebuild, the demolition sets the pace for everything that follows. We take the structure down safely, disconnect and cap services, remove the slab and footings, and carry out the excavation and bulk earthworks so the block is ready for the new slab. Before work starts, we door-knock the neighbours to explain what to expect. Because we run demolition, asbestos removal and the early civil works under one contract, you are not left coordinating three separate trades. The site is handed back clean, level and construction-ready, with the compliance paperwork your builder and certifier will ask for, all under our Construction-Ready Handover Guarantee.

Internal walls, partial demolition and strip-outs

Plenty of Auburn jobs are smaller than a full knockdown. We remove single internal walls to join a kitchen and living area, take out partial structures where you are keeping part of the building, and strip homes, offices and shops back to structure ready for a fit-out. Load-bearing walls are checked and propped properly before anything is cut, and we work cleanly around the parts of the building you are keeping. Whether it is one wall or a whole floor, you get the same licensed crew and the same fixed price.

Demolition Auburn: House Knockdowns, Shed Removals and Strip-Outs

Asbestos in an Auburn demolition

Homes and sheds built before the 1990s can contain asbestos, usually in fibro sheeting, eaves, cement pipes or old flooring. It has to be dealt with before the structure comes down, not during. Every job starts with a pre-demolition inspection to identify asbestos and other hazardous materials. Where they are present, our licensed removalists, certified for both friable and non-friable asbestos, take them out first under SafeWork NSW and NSW EPA rules for compliant disposal at a licensed facility. For friable asbestos, the air monitoring and the clearance certificate are issued by an independent licensed assessor that we arrange and coordinate on your behalf, so the sign-off is genuinely independent. Only once the site is cleared and certified does structural demolition begin.

Council approvals and permits for an Auburn demolition

A common question is whether you can demolish your own house in New South Wales. You can arrange one, but the work still has to be approved and done to standard, and any asbestos removed by licensed removalists. Not every demolition needs a development application. Some straightforward jobs can be approved as complying development, a faster certificate pathway issued by an accredited certifier, while others need a development application assessed by the council. For a property in Auburn, that council is Cumberland City Council, working under the current Cumberland Local Environmental Plan 2021. Depending on the site, the council may require matters such as a demolition waste management plan, tree protection or traffic control to be addressed. We manage this pathway for you: we advise which approval your job is likely to need, prepare the documentation and coordinate the permits.

What affects the cost of a demolition in Auburn

There is no single price for demolition, because no two Auburn sites are the same. What drives your cost is the size and type of structure, the materials it is built from, whether asbestos is present, how much room a truck and machine have to reach the site, and the volume of waste to be carted away and disposed of. A tight inner block needing hand-demolition takes more work than an open block a machine can reach easily. Rather than guess, we come out, look at your specific site, and put a fixed price in writing. Under our Fixed Price Guarantee, the price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden extras once work is under way. The quote is free, with no obligation.

How an Auburn demolition runs, from first call to clean site

Every job follows the same seven steps, so you always know what comes next:

  1. Initial contact and a free, fixed-price quote.
  2. A free on-site assessment of the structure, access and materials.
  3. Council approvals and permits, handled by us.
  4. Licensed asbestos removal and site preparation.
  5. The demolition itself, carried out safely and to schedule.
  6. Waste removal, sorting and site clean-up.
  7. Final compliance certificates and a construction-ready handover.

Emergency and fire-damaged demolition

Fire, storm or structural failure can leave a building unsafe and needing to come down quickly. We provide emergency demolition around the clock, including the careful removal of fire-damaged structures. These are difficult situations, so we keep it calm and practical: we make the site safe, deal with any asbestos or hazardous debris correctly, and clear the block. Call us any time and we will talk you through the next step.

Questions we hear in Auburn

Can you demolish your own house in NSW?

You can arrange the demolition of your own home, but it is not a job to do unapproved or unlicensed. The work needs the right approval, hazardous materials such as asbestos must be removed by licensed removalists, and services have to be disconnected safely first. We manage all of that for you, from the approval through to the final clearance certificate.

How much does demolition cost in Auburn?

It depends on the structure, the materials, whether asbestos is present, site access and the volume of waste. Because those vary from block to block, we quote each job on its own after a site visit and put a fixed price in writing. The quote is free, and the price we give you is the price you pay.

Do I need council approval to demolish a building in Auburn?

Often, yes, though not every job needs a full development application. Some demolitions can be approved as complying development, while others are assessed by Cumberland City Council under the Cumberland Local Environmental Plan 2021. We work out which pathway applies to your property and handle the paperwork.

Do you remove asbestos as part of the demolition?

Yes. We inspect for asbestos before any structure comes down and remove it under licence, following SafeWork NSW and EPA rules. Salvageable brick, concrete and metal are recycled, and the rest goes to licensed facilities. For friable asbestos, an independent licensed assessor we arrange issues the clearance certificate before structural demolition begins.
