Contained Demolition With a Clear Handover
Small demolition covers the freestanding and secondary structures around a property: garages, sheds, carports, decks, pergolas, driveways, paths and retaining structures. These jobs are too small for demolition companies geared to whole buildings and too involved for a rubbish removalist, which is exactly where Master Strip Outs fits. We demolish the structure, clear every scrap of debris and leave the space ready for whatever comes next: a new build, landscaping or simply reclaimed yard.
The approach is deliberate rather than dramatic. Structures are dismantled in a controlled sequence, roofing off first, then walls, then slabs and footings where the scope includes them, with power and water to the structure isolated before work starts. Fences, gardens, trees and neighbouring property are protected, and machinery is matched to access: tight Sydney side passages often mean hand demolition and barrowing rather than an excavator, and we price for the reality of the site rather than discovering it on the day.

02Why small demolition planning matters
Machine and hand access reviewed
Side access, gates, landscaping, neighbouring property and carrying distances determine the practical removal method and site protection.

Debris volume planned early
Concrete, tile, soil and mixed waste quantities are considered alongside truck, bin and loading access before pricing.

FAQs
Small Demolition FAQs
Do I need council approval to demolish a garage, shed or carport?
It depends on the structure and your property. In NSW, demolishing some small structures can fall under exempt or complying development, while others, particularly on heritage-listed properties or in conservation areas, need a CDC or DA. The rules vary between councils and change with the specifics, so we recommend confirming your project with a private certifier or your council before work starts. Flag it at quote stage and we will tell you what we know about your situation.
How long does it take to demolish a garage or shed?
Small demolition timing depends on structure size, construction, access, whether slabs or footings are included, and how debris can be removed. We confirm the programme with your quote so you can plan the follow-on work.
What if there is asbestos in my old shed or garage?
Asbestos-cement sheeting may be present in the walls, roofs and eaves of Sydney outbuildings built or renovated before 1990. If material is suspected, work on it stops before disturbance and the property owner or principal contractor obtains specialist asbestos advice. See our asbestos safety guidance for how that process works.
