What we do
Demolition services for homes, farms and small commercial sites
Low-rise residential and small commercial demolition up to two storeys, plus everything that comes with it — asbestos, clearing, salvage and scrap.
Our difference
Recycling and material recovery, not just knocking things down
Recycling sits at the heart of the business. Bricks, hardwood, tin, floorboards, windows, doors, kitchens, trusses and cladding are salvaged and given a second life. Green waste is mulched, metal is recycled, and the salvage value is often credited back into your quote.
- Materials sorted on site and diverted from landfill
- Salvage value factored in to keep your price down
- Reclaimed materials resold to local builders and renovators
- Scrap metal and green waste recycled, never dumped
Why choose us
Built on four simple commitments

Quality Workmanship
Ten years in the industry and six under our own licence — done properly the first time.
You deal directly with John — start to finish
J.R. Kennedy Demolition started after years in construction as a carpenter and extensive demolition experience gained with major contractors. That combination means practical building knowledge behind every quote and every machine hour.
Unlike larger corporations, the person quoting your job is the person doing it. Clear communication, straight answers about permits and asbestos, and accountability from the first phone call to the final site clean.
About the businessTestimonials
What local clients say
John knocked down our old weatherboard and cleared the block in under a week. He dealt with the asbestos side of things properly, sent through all the paperwork, and left the site spotless. Couldn't fault him.
We got three quotes and J.R. Kennedy was the only one who actually walked the site and explained the permit process. Great communication the whole way through and no surprise costs at the end.
Loved that so much of the house was salvaged rather than dumped. The bricks and floorboards went to new homes and it brought our price down. Genuinely nice bloke to deal with too.
