Concrete Demolition in Auckland
Blake Civil Construction provides concrete demolition in Auckland for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Whether you have an old slab that needs breaking out, a driveway past its life, reinforced foundations to remove, or a retaining wall coming down for a new build, our crews handle the full concrete removal scope — from hydraulic breaking and saw cutting through to on-site crushing and disposal at consented facilities.
What is Concrete Demolition in Auckland?
Concrete demolition is the process of breaking, cutting, and removing existing concrete structures so the site can be cleared for new construction, landscaping, or redevelopment. In Auckland, many older properties have concrete slabs, paths, driveways, and foundations that were poured decades ago — often without reinforcing or on poor ground. Removing this concrete requires the right machinery, a clear waste management plan, and an understanding of what sits underneath. Done properly, concrete demolition leaves a clean site ready for the next stage, and the broken concrete itself is sorted for recycling rather than sent straight to landfill.
- Concrete slab demolition for house renovations, extensions, and site redevelopment
- Driveway removal and replacement preparation for residential and commercial properties
- Reinforced concrete foundation removal using hydraulic breakers and pulverisers
- Retaining wall demolition with careful excavation around services and boundaries
- Concrete saw cutting for controlled partial removal and clean break lines
- On-site concrete crushing and recycling of broken concrete into reusable aggregate
Based in Coatesville, Blake Civil Construction has removed concrete structures across Auckland for years. Our operators run excavators fitted with hydraulic breakers, pulverisers, and concrete crushers daily — so your concrete comes out efficiently, safely, and with as much material recycled as possible.
When You Need Us
When You Need Concrete Demolition in Auckland in Auckland
Old Concrete Driveway Needs Removing for Replacement
Your existing concrete driveway has cracked, settled, or broken apart beyond repair. The old surface needs to be demolished and removed before a new driveway can be installed with proper subbase preparation.
House Slab Removal Before a New Build
The old house has been demolished and the concrete floor slab remains. It needs to be broken out and removed so earthworks and new foundations can proceed on clean ground.
Reinforced Foundation Removal for Site Redevelopment
Heavy reinforced concrete foundations from a previous building need to come out. Standard excavation cannot remove them — hydraulic breaking and steel cutting are needed to break the concrete and separate the reinforcing.
Retaining Wall Demolition for a New Design
An old concrete retaining wall is failing, leaning, or no longer suits the new site layout. It needs controlled demolition to avoid damaging neighbouring structures, services, or the bank behind it.
Concrete Path and Patio Removal for Landscaping
Concrete paths, patios, and outdoor living areas need to come out so the property can be re-landscaped with new levels, planting, or replacement surfaces.
Commercial Floor Slab Demolition for Fitout
A commercial or industrial building needs its concrete floor slab broken out for re-levelling, service installation, or a complete fitout change that requires access to the ground beneath.
Concrete Tank or Pool Demolition
An old concrete water tank, swimming pool, or below-ground structure needs to be demolished and filled so the site can be used for construction or landscaping.
Partial Concrete Removal with Saw Cutting
Only a section of the concrete needs to come out — for a new service trench, an extension join, or a design change. Saw cutting creates a clean, straight edge without damaging the concrete that remains.
Our Process
Our Concrete Demolition in Auckland Process
Blake Civil Construction follows a systematic approach for every concrete demolition in auckland project.
Site Assessment and Scope Review
We visit the site, assess the concrete to be removed — thickness, reinforcing type, access conditions, and proximity to services or structures — and determine the right method and machinery for the job.
Waste Management and Recycling Plan
Before breaking starts, we plan where the broken concrete will go. Material suitable for crushing is separated from contaminated or mixed waste. We identify the nearest consented disposal or recycling facility for your area.
Saw Cutting and Controlled Breaking
Where clean edges are needed or partial removal is required, we saw cut the concrete first. Then hydraulic breakers fitted to our excavators break the concrete into manageable pieces, working methodically across the site.
Reinforcing Steel Separation
For reinforced concrete, the steel mesh or rebar is separated from the broken concrete using pulverisers and sorting grabs. Steel goes to scrap recycling. Clean concrete goes to crushing or recycling.
Loading and Removal
Broken concrete is loaded onto tip trucks and transported to a consented facility for disposal or recycling. On larger jobs, we bring in a mobile crusher to process the material on-site for reuse as base course or clean fill.
Site Clearance and Handover
Once all concrete is removed, we clear the area back to clean ground. The site is left level and ready for earthworks, new concrete, landscaping, or whatever comes next in the project.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Blake Civil for Concrete Demolition in Auckland?
Hydraulic Breaking and Pulverising Equipment
Our excavators are fitted with hydraulic breakers and concrete pulverisers matched to the thickness and reinforcing of the concrete being removed. This means efficient demolition of everything from thin residential slabs through to heavy reinforced commercial foundations.
Concrete Crushing and Recycling
Broken concrete does not need to end up in landfill. We sort and crush demolished concrete into reusable aggregate that can serve as base course, clean fill, or a substitute for virgin quarry material — reducing waste and disposal costs on your project.
Saw Cutting for Controlled Removal
When only part of a concrete structure needs to come out, we use concrete saws to create clean, straight cut lines before breaking. This protects the surrounding concrete and gives a precise edge for new construction to tie into.
Safe Removal Near Services and Structures
Concrete demolition often happens close to underground services, boundary fences, or neighbouring buildings. Our operators use controlled breaking methods and work with service location plans to remove concrete safely without damaging what needs to stay.
Disposal at Consented Facilities
All concrete waste is transported to consented disposal and recycling facilities across Auckland. We manage the waste chain from site to destination so you have a clear record of where the material has gone — important for resource consent compliance and site documentation.
Demolition to Rebuild Under One Contractor
As a civil construction company, we carry the project straight from concrete demolition into earthworks, site preparation, and new concrete placement. One contractor, one programme, and no gap between demolition finishing and the next stage starting.
