Fixed-quote house demolition, partial demolition, pool and shed removal for Mildura and Sunraysia & North West Victoria — with asbestos, permits, disconnections and disposal handled for you.
Mildura's housing stock is a demolisher's map of the irrigation era: 1920s–1960s weatherboard and fibro homes across central Mildura, Merbein and Red Cliffs, many past economic repair. The fibro is the point — a large share of these homes are clad or lined in asbestos cement, so licensed removal is the first stage of most Mildura demolitions, priced up front, never a 'surprise'.
The upside of demolishing in the Mallee: sandy soils that dig easily, big flat blocks with generous machine access, and a dry climate that rarely costs a work day. Footings and stumps come out cleanly, and site levelling to a builder-ready pad is more straightforward here than anywhere else we work. Dust suppression matters in a Mildura summer — water carts run all day on our jobs.

Every job is different — asbestos extent, construction and access drive the price. A free site assessment gets you a fixed number.
Demolition in Mildura needs a building permit from a registered building surveyor plus Section 29A report and consent from Mildura Rural City Council (statutory fee about $100, 15-business-day response window). Watch two local triggers: heritage-listed properties around the older central grid, and flood overlays along the Murray near Merbein and Nichols Point, which can complicate a rebuild plan — we check overlays on VicPlan before you spend a dollar.
Machines are on site 3–7 days for most houses. End to end — Section 29A consent, building permit, service abolishments, asbestos removal, demolition, levelling — allow 4–8 weeks. We lodge every approval and book every disconnection the day you accept.
It's identified in a pre-demolition survey, removed first by licensed removalists, transported wrapped and disposed at a licensed facility — and you receive the clearance and disposal dockets. On pre-1990 Mildura homes this is stage one of the job, priced in the quote.
Yes — Mildura is a base, not a boundary. We service Merbein, Red Cliffs, Irymple, Nichols Point, Gol Gol, Buronga, Wentworth, Ouyen and everywhere between, including farm building clearances. Travel is built into the fixed quote, never a surprise line item.
