Bluestone Demolition takes down houses, extensions, sheds and pools across regional Victoria — with the asbestos, permits, disconnections and disposal handled for you, and a fixed written quote that means what it says.
Every job priced fixed, with asbestos, permits, disconnections and site finish itemised up front.
Whole house to clean level block — asbestos stripped, structure down, footings out, site graded. The knock-down half of every knock-down-rebuild.
Extensions, lean-tos, fire-damaged sections — surgical removal with the house you're keeping protected and weatherproofed.
Licensed Class A/B removal as stage one of every pre-1990 job — surveyed, priced up front, disposed with dockets.
Fill-in or full dig-out, water handled legally, pool deregistered with council — and your backyard back.
From garden sheds to old dairies — including the asbestos roofs that come with them. Bundle jobs to save on mobilisation.
Slabs and footings out, holes filled with controlled compacted fill, builder-ready pads with documentation.
Honest numbers, because nobody should get a surprise. Your fixed quote depends on construction, asbestos and access — the calculator gives you a realistic range in 30 seconds.

Construction type, asbestos era, access, salvage value, what stays — assessed on site, not guessed from the street.
Asbestos, permits, disconnections, disposal and site finish itemised. The price quoted is the price paid.
Section 29A to council, building permit to the surveyor, power/gas/water abolishments booked. The paperwork phase runs 3–6 weeks; we run it in parallel.
Licensed removal first, with clearance and dockets. Then structural demolition — most houses are down in 1–5 days.
Footings and slab out, site graded or compacted to spec, and your paperwork file handed over — clearances, dockets, permit completion.

Yes — a building permit plus Section 29A council consent for any house demolition, and sometimes a planning permit (heritage overlays). We arrange all of it. The permit check tells you what your job triggers.
Pre-1990 homes almost always contain it. We survey before quoting, use licensed removalists as stage one, and hand you the disposal dockets and clearance. Read the asbestos guide.
4–8 weeks end to end — mostly permits and disconnection lead times. Machines are only on site 3–7 days. The timeline guide has the full breakdown.
Often — scrap metal, hardwood and old red bricks return $800–$12,000 on the right house. Salvage is itemised in our quotes, per the salvage guide.
