Garage demolition & removal in ClontarfDecide what happens
underneath.
Three decisions set the scope and the price. We agree each one with you in writing before the work is booked.
Keep the slab
The agreed garage structure comes down while the slab and neighbouring surfaces stay. We plan their protection as part of the removal.
Remove the concrete too
Slabs and footings are priced separately. Tell us about any new structure so the depth and finish can be agreed with your builder.
Attached or detached
An attached garage needs assessment of its connection to the house. Sheeted roofs and walls may need asbestos assessment before removal.
Asbestos removal for garages
Our workThe garage, the frame
and the footprint.
Our photographs show the garage before removal, the exposed frame and the bare frame before it comes down. The slab and adjoining surfaces are separate decisions for each job.
Customer reviews
Good work.
In their words.
Did a great job at demolishing my garage for a reasonable price. When I asked them to remove extra rubbish that had not been planned for, they were more than happy to help.
Bill, Hussein and the entire team did an amazing demolition and asbestos removal job for me… they managed it all in less than a day to take down the garage and demo the adjoining shed.
Removal of my asbestos garage ceiling. Professional, on time, on budget, and a safely executed good quality job.

the price?

Your property in ClontarfBefore work
starts.
Check which permissions apply to the garage and any separate concrete removal. Boundary fences, neighbouring buildings and vehicle access need to be included in the assessment.
Find the plan for your address
Northern Beaches Council still uses the old Manly, Pittwater and Warringah plans while new ones are drafted. Look up your address on council’s maps; heritage and hazard rules apply to particular land, not the whole area.
Check your address on the NSW Planning Portal (opens in a new tab) Northern Beaches planning controls and maps (opens in a new tab)Council guidance checked 15 September 2026. These are matters to check, not a determination for an individual address. Your council or certifier confirms what applies.
How a garage demolition & removal runsFrom enquiry
to handover.
Three stages, in the order they happen. Who arranges each item is agreed before the job is booked.
- 01
Assess the garage
Check the structure, access, suspected asbestos and any connection to a retained building.
- 02
Prepare and remove
Confirm approvals and disconnections, arrange any asbestos work, then take down the agreed garage or shed.
- 03
Finish the footprint
Remove the material and complete any separately agreed slab or footing work before handover.

More about garage demolition & removalCan a shed come down at the same time?
Yes. Sheds and other outbuildings next to the garage can be part of the same job and the same quote.
Is my garage’s fibro sheeting asbestos?
It might be. Only testing confirms it, so leave it undisturbed until it’s checked. If it is asbestos, our own team removes non-friable sheeting under our licence as part of the job.
Asbestos removalCan you get a machine down my driveway?
That depends on the narrowest width, any turns and anything overhead. A photo of the way in and the narrowest measurement tell us which machine fits.
