The Whole House, Stripped to Structure
14+ Years Experience preparing Sydney homes for renovation
A house strip out takes every room back to the structural shell in one coordinated job: kitchen and bathrooms out, floor coverings up, built-in joinery removed, and wall and ceiling linings stripped where the renovation calls for it. It is the fastest way to turn an occupied, dated house into a clean site your builder can price and programme accurately — no hidden layers, no surprises behind the old kitchen.
The sequence matters at this scale. Licensed plumbers and electricians disconnect and cap services first, then rooms are stripped in a planned order — wet areas, then living areas, then linings — so waste flows out of the house efficiently instead of piling up in doorways. In Federation and interwar homes we deal with the materials those eras left behind: lath-and-plaster walls, hardset render on brick, tongue-and-groove flooring and original skirtings and architraves, which we protect and retain wherever your renovation keeps period features.
Renovators hire us before their builder starts; builders hire us so their carpenters are not spending week one on demolition. Either way the deliverable is the same: a stripped, broom-clean shell with capped services labelled, structure untouched, and a documented handover your build team can start from the same day. Pair the strip out with a non-structural wall removal or an engineer-specified structural wall opening and the site is ready for the new floor plan, not just the new finishes.
Full house strip outs typically cost $2,500-$4,500 for apartments and units, and $4,500-$8,500 for Federation-style and larger homes. Every job is inspected and quoted in writing — free quotes within 24 hours.

House Strip Out FAQs
Common questions about whole-house strip outs
How much does a full house strip out cost in Sydney?
Full house strip outs typically cost $2,500-$4,500 for apartments and units, and $4,500-$8,500 for Federation-style and larger homes. The main cost drivers are floor area, construction era (lath-and-plaster takes longer than plasterboard), access and waste volume. We inspect free of charge and fix the price in writing within 24 hours — no per-day rates that blow out.
How long does a whole-house strip out take?
A standard house strip out typically takes 2-5 days from setup to broom-clean handover. Compact units sit at the shorter end; large Federation homes with full lining removal run longer. The timeline is confirmed in your quote so your builder can lock in their start date.
What exactly is included in a house strip out?
Everything interior that your renovation replaces: kitchen and bathroom strip outs including tiles and membranes, all floor coverings, built-in joinery and wardrobes, fixtures and fittings, and wall and ceiling linings where the scope calls for it. Services are capped by licensed trades, all waste removal is included, and the house is handed over broom-clean. The scope is itemised room by room in your quote, so what stays and what goes is agreed before we start.
My house was built before 1990 — what about asbestos?
Homes built before the late 1980s commonly contain asbestos in bathroom and laundry wall sheeting, eaves, vinyl floor backing and lagging. We flag likely locations at the inspection and, if suspect material is found, arrange testing and removal through licensed asbestos removalists in accordance with SafeWork NSW requirements before stripping continues. Handled at quote stage, it adds a step — not a crisis — to your programme.
Can you hand over directly to my builder?
Yes — that handover is the whole point of the service. We coordinate timing with your builder, label every capped service, and walk the stripped shell through with them at sign-off so demolition questions are answered before their first trade day. Many Sydney builders engage us directly for exactly this reason; call 0424 944 944 to line up the dates.
Do I need council approval to strip out my house?
Internal, non-structural strip out work generally does not need council approval in NSW. If your renovation includes structural changes — removing load-bearing walls or altering the roof — those works may need a CDC or DA and an engineer’s design, which a private certifier can confirm. We strip around structural elements and coordinate with your engineer for anything beyond the non-structural scope.
