Several factors influence the cost of removing a pool, so we invite you to consult us for a comprehensive and detailed quote regarding the job. This will enable us to create a base price and allow you to budget for the add-on services adequately. Here's a breakdown of what’s involved in removing a pool in Sydney: ​✦ A development application (DA) or complying development certificate (CDC) must be submitted to the local council or certifier before removing a pool because you’re planning structural changes to your property (which will affect its value) and the fact that all pools in Sydney are registered. Don't worry, we will assist you with this application. ✦ We demolish and remove the pool and dispose of all waste materials. Rubble is a requirement and the volume and type of rubble affect the disposal cost. ✦ Some pools may have plumbing or electrical services that need to be disconnected or relocated before removal. Where required, we arrange the appropriate trades to complete this work safely and correctly. ✦ Earth and soil, similar to the rest of the area, are trucked in and sufficiently compacted to create a stable surface. This ensures the site is ready for landscaping, planting, outdoor living areas or future building works. ✦ We also optionally provide landscaping services. This includes the planting of roll-on grass. ​Once approvals are in place and work begins on site, most pool removal projects are completed within 2 to 8 days, depending on the size and complexity of the job.
