Breaking, removing and recycling concrete slabs, driveways, foundations and walls.
07 8087 881Concrete Demolition Contractors In Hamilton
Cracked driveways, old house slabs, redundant foundations and failing concrete walls all need the right equipment to remove efficiently. Hamilton Demolition breaks out and removes concrete of every size across Hamilton and the Waikato, using excavator-mounted hydraulic breakers, compact machinery and hand tools where precision matters. We cut clean edges where concrete meets surfaces that are staying, lift out reinforced sections and load everything away, leaving the ground prepared for your next stage of work.
Concrete is heavy and expensive to dump, so we separate it from other waste and send clean material to be crushed and recycled into aggregate wherever practical. That reduces landfill and often lowers your disposal costs. Because we also offer excavation, earthmoving and concrete driveways, we can take a project from breaking out the old surface through to preparing the subgrade and pouring new concrete. One contractor managing the whole process means fewer delays, less coordination for you and a better finished result.

Our Concrete Demolition Services
We handle residential, commercial and rural concrete removal, from a single garden path to a large warehouse floor. Our team assesses thickness, reinforcement and nearby services before work starts, then chooses the right breaking method to keep vibration, noise, dust and any risk of damage to surrounding structures, paving and underground services to a minimum.
Slab Removal
House slabs, garage floors and shed pads are broken into manageable pieces, reinforcing steel is separated and everything is loaded out. We can remove a whole slab after building demolition or cut out a section for plumbing repairs or an extension, keeping the remaining concrete sound and edges straight for a clean tie-in.
Driveway & Path Removal
Old or cracked concrete driveways, footpaths and patios are saw-cut at the boundaries and broken out without damaging kerbs, fences or house foundations. Once cleared, the base can be re-compacted and prepared, and our team can pour a new concrete driveway so the whole job is handled by one crew.
Foundation Removal
Strip footings, pile caps, ring foundations and concrete piles left behind after a house removal or demolition are dug out and broken up. We excavate to the depth your engineer or builder requires, backfill with suitable material and compact the area so it is ready for new foundations or landscaping.
Concrete Wall Demolition
Block walls, poured concrete walls and old retaining walls are demolished in a controlled sequence to avoid collapse or soil movement. Where a wall holds back ground, we assess the risk first and can build a replacement retaining wall afterwards, so your property stays stable throughout the project.
Hydraulic Breaking
Excavator-mounted hydraulic breakers make short work of thick or heavily reinforced concrete. For confined spaces or work near sensitive structures, we switch to smaller machines, jackhammers or saw cutting. Choosing the right tool for the job keeps vibration down and protects nearby buildings, pipes and cables.
Crushing & Recycling
Clean concrete is separated from soil, timber and other waste and sent to Waikato recyclers where it is crushed into hardfill and aggregate. Reinforcing steel goes to scrap metal recycling. Recycling reduces landfill use and is typically cheaper than general disposal, which helps keep your overall project cost down.
Concrete Saw Cutting
Clean, straight cuts let us remove exactly the concrete that needs to go and nothing more. We saw-cut slabs, driveways and walls for new openings, drainage trenches, plumbing access and extension tie-ins. Wet cutting keeps dust down, and precise cuts give your builder or concreter a neat edge to join new work against.
Commercial And Industrial Floors
Warehouses, workshops and factory floors often have thick, heavily reinforced slabs, machine bases and embedded services. We plan removal in stages so parts of the building can stay operational, manage dust and noise around staff, and remove old machine footings or loading dock areas as part of wider refurbishment or redevelopment projects across the Waikato.
