Council Approval
All demolition and asbestos removal work are subject to Council Approval, either directly through your local council, or an independent Private Certifier. We will fill out all forms required for approval and email to you for your submission.

In some cases, there are homes that have power connection underground, or between street posts. In these situations, there will be an extra charge for the disconnection of the service, which will either include a cherry picker or more time. If there is more than one (1) electrical meter, then an additional cost will be added for each meter removed.

Super Demolition P/L is here to help organise and plan your demolition process to help minimise the work and effort on your part. Please ask us for any advice or information, or let us plan your demolition from start to finish.

Super Demolition P/L have all the licenses and insurances that are required to carry out both demolition and asbestos removal works on domestic, commercial and industrial properties. Copies of all certificates of currency and licenses are available upon request.

Demolition and asbestos removal are both dangerous and high risk works. The relevant licenses and insurances do not come cheap. So if you obtain a quote that seems far cheaper than a reputable company, this could be due to the fact that the contractor does not have the insurances and licenses that are required by law.

Whether you choose to use Super Demolition P/L or another contractor to carry out your works please ensure that they have the following and that you obtain copies prior to commencement.

Find out if you are really covered by asking for a SafeWork NSW Demolition Licence, Asbestos removal Licence, Public Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation.

Super Demolition P/L looks forward to working with you on your project.
