Demolition Brighton
Knockdown Rebuilds and Site Clearing in Brighton
We handle demolition in Brighton for owners making way for a new home, a big renovation or a small development. Plenty of Brighton jobs involve older period homes on valuable land, and a lot of them sit under a Heritage Overlay. Bayside City Council records more than 1,500 heritage properties, many of them in Brighton, Beaumaris and Black Rock.
If your home is one of them, you’ll likely need a planning permit on top of the building permit before anything comes down. We check that with you at the start, so you know where you stand before you lock in a builder or a timeline. Tell us about your Brighton property and we’ll let you know what applies.

Demolition Services for Brighton Properties
House demolition
Full knockdowns of older Brighton homes ahead of a rebuild, from Edwardian and interwar houses to post-war brick homes on bigger blocks. We plan the work around the fences, trees and boundary walls you share with neighbours, and stage machinery so the street isn’t blocked for days. Once the house is down, the rubble and footings are cleared so your builder can start straight away.
Commercial demolition
Older shops and offices near Church Street and Bay Street cleared for redevelopment. Truck movements and loading are planned around the shopping strip, so neighbouring traders and shoppers aren’t caught up in the work. We can take the building down in stages if part of the site needs to stay open.
Partial and outbuilding demolition
Garages, sheds, pool houses and rear additions removed while the main house stays. This suits Brighton renovations where the period frontage is being kept and only the back of the home is being rebuilt. We separate the old section carefully, so the part you’re keeping is left sound and ready for the builder.
Concrete removal
Old driveways, paths, pool surrounds and slabs broken up and carted away. Clearing old concrete early means your new design isn’t stuck with the old layout, and the landscaper starts with a clean slate. We also remove old footings left behind after a demolition.
Land clearing
Stumps, garden beds, old paving and rubble cleared once the house is down. Parts of Bayside carry vegetation protection controls, so we confirm which trees can go before anything is cut. The block is left level and tidy, ready for the surveyor and builder.

How We Run a Brighton Demolition
Permits sorted before the machines arrive
The building permit goes through a registered building surveyor, and we raise any heritage questions early. That way you’re not caught out halfway through.
Neighbours treated properly
Adjoining owners get formal notice as part of the permit process. We plan dust, noise and truck access around your street, not just your block.
Asbestos checked first
Many older Brighton homes were built or extended when asbestos was common. Victoria requires an asbestos survey before demolition, and any removal is done by a licensed removalist before our work starts.
