Clearing Cheltenham Blocks for Your Next Build
Planning a knockdown, a subdivision or a small commercial redevelopment in Cheltenham? We handle demolition across Cheltenham, from post-war family homes through to older workshops and shopfronts.
One thing that catches people out here is the council. Most of Cheltenham falls under the City of Kingston, but a smaller part sits within Bayside, and the two councils run their own planning rules. Knowing which one covers your block is the first thing we check, because it decides which overlays and consent steps apply. Give us a call and we’ll work it out with you.

What We Demolish in Cheltenham
House demolition
Post-war brick and weatherboard homes cleared for a new home, a dual occupancy or a set of townhouses. We remove the whole house, including the footings, so nothing is left in the ground to slow the next stage down. The block is handed back level and ready for the surveyor and builder.

Commercial demolition
Small factories, workshops and older shops in Cheltenham’s commercial streets. We stage the work so neighbouring businesses can keep trading, with loading and truck movements planned around their hours. Internal strip-outs can also be done first if the building is being cleared in stages.

Sheds, garages and bungalows
Backyard structures removed when you’re keeping the house or freeing up the rear of the block for a second dwelling. Many Cheltenham backyards have an old bungalow, garage or carport that has to go before a subdivision can start. We take these down without disturbing the house you’re keeping.

Concrete removal
Long driveways, old carport slabs and concrete yards broken out and taken away. This is often the first job when a block is being split, because the new driveway layout rarely follows the old one. Removing it early gives your builder and plumber clear ground to work on.

Land clearing
Overgrown rear yards, old garden beds, fencing and rubble cleared so the new build starts on a clean site. We clear the whole block, not just the house footprint. It saves your builder an extra job before they can set out the new homes.

A Demolition Plan Built Around Your Block
Every Cheltenham job starts with the paperwork. The building permit goes through a registered building surveyor, and we make sure the right council has been checked for anything extra.
Services come next. Gas, electricity and water need to be disconnected and made safe before demolition, so we line that up early to keep the start date on track.
On the day, we work with the street in mind. Many Cheltenham blocks back onto units or townhouses, so we plan machinery and trucks to keep disruption to a minimum. When we finish, the site is level, clear and ready for whatever comes next.
