Lane Cove Concrete Removal and Demolition

Slab, Driveway and Path Removal in Lane Cove

East Coast Demo removes concrete across Lane Cove for homeowners, builders and site managers. Saw cutting, breaking, loading and documented disposal, all from one crew. It helps that we know the area: the North Shore trades on established streets, big trees and rock under the topsoil.

Concrete Work We Remove in Lane Cove

Most removal jobs fall into four buckets, and we run all of them with our own machines and operators.

We provide concrete demolition services for:

  • Residential homes and driveways
  • Commercial and industrial buildings
  • Factories and warehouse floors
  • Retaining walls and footings
  • Car parks and access ramps
  • Structural slabs and reinforced concrete

Every project is carried out with full compliance under SafeWork NSW and EPA regulations

House Slabs and Footings

Removing a slab beside a house that stays is careful work: vibration managed, edges saw-cut clean, and the ground under it left ready for whatever comes next, from new slab to garden.

We handle all types of slab and footing removal, including:

  • House and garage slabs
  • Patio and shed bases
  • Industrial floor slabs
  • Concrete retaining walls
  • Structural footings and foundations

Once complete, all materials are sorted and taken to certified recycling plants, leaving your site ready for rebuilding or redevelopment.

Driveway Demolition and Removal

Paths, patios and pool surrounds come out clean when the edges are saw-cut and the breaking is controlled. Gardens, fences and the neighbour’s side of the boundary all survive the process.

Commercial and Industrial Concrete

For fitout and refurb projects we cut and remove precisely: trench lines through slabs, penetrations, and part-floor removals that leave the remaining structure untouched and certified safe.

Our Concrete Removal Process

01
Site Assessment and Planning

We inspect the site to identify the structure type, reinforcement level, and any surrounding hazards.

02
Method Selection

The appropriate equipment and demolition technique are chosen for maximum safety and efficiency.

03
Demolition and Removal

Concrete is systematically broken down, cut, and removed from the site.

04
Sorting and Recycling

Recyclable materials are separated to minimise waste sent to landfill.

05
Final Clean-Up

The area is left clean, safe, and ready for new construction or landscaping.

This process ensures every job runs safely and every load leaves site documented. SafeWork NSW practice on the tools, EPA-compliant disposal behind it, and operators who treat your property like it has to survive the job, because it does.

Where the Concrete Goes: Recycling

Dust suppression, exclusion zones and vibration awareness are part of the method on every job. The site gets left graded, raked and genuinely finished, because the last hour of a removal job is what people remember.

Access, Ground and Old Pours in Lane Cove

Local conditions set the plan in Lane Cove. In short, older slabs and paths often sit over sandstone shelf, which changes breaking technique, and leafy streets mean tree protection and careful truck movements. Established leafy streets mean tree preservation rules and tighter truck staging than the suburbs further out. Knowing this before pricing is the difference between an estimate and a commitment.

Before You Book: Lane Cove Concrete FAQs

How much does concrete removal cost in Lane Cove?

Thickness, reinforcement, access and volume set the price. A plain 100mm path is quick work; a reinforced driveway on a tight block is not. Photos and rough measurements get you a realistic number fast.

Do I need council approval to remove a driveway or slab?

Usually not for like-for-like residential work, but crossovers touch council assets and bigger jobs tied to development can be conditioned. We will flag it if your job is one of the exceptions.

Do you also dig out what is under the concrete?

If the project needs it, yes. Removal pairs naturally with excavation for new slabs and landscaping, and doing both in one visit saves a second mobilisation fee.
