Demolition Specialists for Wynyard & the Northwest Coast
Wynyard is a coastal town of approximately 7,000 residents on Tasmania's north-west coast, 17 kilometres west of Burnie. Like much of the northwest, Wynyard has a significant stock of older homes — many built before 1987 when asbestos-containing materials were in common use in weatherboard and fibro construction. Whether you are clearing a derelict property, preparing a knockdown-rebuild site, or demolishing a structure that has reached the end of its useful life, Davies Design & Construction delivers a complete demolition service: fixed-price quotes, full permit management, licensed asbestos coordination, and clean brownfield handover.
Luke Davies and Josh Bartlett run All Site Excavations alongside Davies Construction — bringing demolition, excavation, and site clearing under the same roof as building and construction services. It is a natural fit. Many of our demolition clients in Wynyard need a rebuild afterwards, and many of our building clients need something knocked down first. The integrated capability means one team, one point of contact, and no gaps in the process.
Our Sheffield base is approximately one hour east of Wynyard via the Bass Highway — the same travel time as our Burnie operations. We have established relationships with trades and suppliers across the northwest coast, and have worked closely with Waratah-Wynyard Council on permit management and approvals. When you engage Davies for a demolition in Wynyard, you are engaging a team that has been operating on this coastline since 2009 — with the local knowledge and the process discipline to deliver.
Wynyard's coastal character — Bass Strait frontage, the Inglis River estuary, Table Cape farmland — creates varied demolition contexts. Some sites come with coastal erosion overlays; others sit on fertile agricultural land with boundary setback requirements. We assess each site thoroughly before quoting, ensuring the scope is accurate and there are no surprises once work begins.
Demolition Services We Deliver in Wynyard
House Demolitions
Complete residential demolitions — weatherboard, fibro, brick, and mixed-construction homes across Wynyard, Sisters Beach, Boat Harbour Beach, and Somerset. Old homes ready for knockdown rebuilds, subdivision, or site redevelopment handled from start to clean site.
Commercial & Agricultural
Wynyard's farming and coastal heritage means significant older commercial and agricultural structures across the district. Sheds, warehouses, retail premises, and outbuildings — we have the equipment and experience to deliver safely and efficiently across the northwest coast.
Concrete & Structure Removal
Slabs, footings, retaining walls, driveways, paths, and other concrete or structural elements. Hydraulic breaking, excavation, and responsible disposal — whether standalone or as part of a larger demolition.
Asbestos Coordination
Pre-1987 Wynyard homes very commonly contain asbestos. We manage the entire asbestos process — testing, identification, removal, and disposal — through our licensed partner Statewide Asbestos, with clearance certification before demolition begins.
Site Clearing & Brownfield
Complete strip-back to clean earth: demolition, excavation, vegetation removal, and levelling. We hand over a certified brownfield site ready for a new build, subdivision, landscaping, or sale.
Fire & Storm Damage
Emergency demolition of fire-damaged, storm-damaged, or structurally compromised buildings in Wynyard and the surrounding coast. We work directly with insurance companies and provide the documentation needed for claims.
