Demolition Contractor in Singapore — Interior Demolition, Hacking & Dismantling
SB Hacking and Painting is a direct demolition contractor in Singapore for renovation-scale works—not full building tear-downs. We specialise in interior and selective demolition, dismantling, wall, floor and tile removal, and full-unit strip-outs for HDB, BTO, condominium, landed, office, and retail sites. As a BCA-registered contractor approved for HDB hacking works (ref. HB-02-5913Z), we programme dust protection, permitted hours, and NEA-approved disposal so your next trade can start cleanly. Send photos and your floor plan for a fast itemised demolition quote.
If you need a demolition company Singapore homeowners and tenants can trust inside an occupied building, we execute to approved drawings only—non-load bearing walls, finishes, built-ins, and renovation-scale concrete elements. Demolition works Singapore for structural tower tear-downs require specialised BCA workheads we do not claim; our lane is controlled strip-outs with corridor protection, haulage, and tidy handover documentation.

Services in detail
Our demolition services in Singapore
Demolition services Singapore we deliver most often: interior and selective strip-outs, wall and floor works, dismantling, and renovation-scale concrete breakout—each with protection and disposal planned in.
Interior & Selective Demolition
Interior demolition Singapore and selective demolition Singapore cover whole-unit or partial strip-outs to a marked-up plan: partitions, built-ins, finishes, and ceilings—leaving structure protected.
What selective demolition means
- Only what drawings call out is removed
- Structure, services, and common property stay protected
- Boundaries marked before breakers start
Selective demolition is controlled renovation-scale strip-out, not indiscriminate wrecking. We agree how far finishes come down before wet works or new partitions begin—so your ID inherits a predictable site.
Whole-unit & partial strip-outs
- Full flat or selected rooms only
- Phased works when a WC or kitchen must stay usable
- Photo notes for the trades that follow
Residential demolition services and commercial strip-outs both benefit from phased packages. Tell us what must remain live overnight so the programme stays realistic.
Wall Demolition & Hacking
Wall demolition of non-load-bearing partitions and openings within engineer-approved scopes—kitchen, bathroom, and living walls included. For room-by-room wall hacking detail, see our hacking services in Singapore page.
Non-load-bearing wall removal
- Partition and hollow-block walls within approved plans
- Openings for open-kitchen BTO conversions where permitted
- Neat edges for plasterers after controlled breakout
We never promise load-bearing or structural wall removal. If something looks doubtful, we stop and escalate to your qualified person before tools continue.
Kitchen & bathroom walls
- Tile and backing removal where specified
- Services left identifiable for plumbers and electricians
- Dust barriers toward occupied rooms
Wet-area wall works need sequencing around water and gas. We align to HDB or condo renovation rules so the next trade inherits an inspectable substrate.
Floor Demolition & Tile Removal
Floor demolition and tile removal Singapore scopes lift finishes, screed where required, vinyl and parquet—leaving substrate ready for re-tiling or overlay.
Tiles, screed & finishes
- Floor tile and adhesive beds removed as scoped
- Skirting and edge trims lifted consistently
- Falls and floor traps protected in wet areas
Bathroom floors tie to waterproofing. We document what was removed so your waterproofing contractor can set out correctly after the strip-out.
Dismantling Services
Dismantling services Singapore for built-in cabinets, wardrobes, kitchen units, partitions, ceiling boards, racking, signage, and fixtures—with disposal included when quoted.
Cabinetry, fixtures & ceilings
- Wardrobes and kitchen runs sectioned for lift-safe moves
- False ceilings and feature joinery taken down controlled
- Shop fixtures and signage cleared for retail exits
Dismantling without wall works is common for landlord refresh and office exits. We protect lobbies and door reveals while bulky pieces leave the unit.
Concrete Demolition (Renovation Scale)
Concrete demolition at renovation scale: kerbs, ramps, platforms, bases, and hob walls—using jack hammer, hydraulic breaker, or concrete cutter inside occupied buildings with dust and vibration control.
Controlled concrete breakout
- Hob walls, plinths, and minor bases within approved scope
- Dust and vibration managed for neighbours
- Honest limits—not structural frame demolition
If your project needs tower or structural concrete demolition, you need a firm with the specialised BCA demolition workhead. We stay in renovation-scale concrete works we can defend.
Coverage
Demolition for every property type
Access, permits, and noise windows change by building. We adapt method and haulage for HDB, condo, landed interiors, and commercial strip-outs island-wide.
HDB & BTO
As an HDB demolition contractor for renovation-scale works, we follow permit limits: no load-bearing walls, columns, bomb shelters, or AC ledges. Open-kitchen BTO conversions and resale strip-outs are common scopes.
Condo & apartment
Condo demolition and apartment demolition interiors need MCST rules, PE endorsement where structures are affected, and lift protection—corridor discipline keeps management calm.
Landed & house (interior)
House demolition here means interior overhauls and larger cart-away volumes—not whole-building tear-downs. Landed property demolition of finishes and partitions is scoped honestly to renovation works.
Office, retail & light industrial
Office demolition, retail demolition, and warehouse demolition for light dismantling—after-hours phasing and landlord checklists, with links into reinstatement when make-good follows.
Pricing
Demolition cost in Singapore — price guide
Demolition cost Singapore for renovation-scale works is not the same as whole-building quotes of tens of thousands. Demolition contractor Singapore price on this page is indicative for interior strip-outs. Final demolition quotation Singapore figures follow a site survey or clear photo brief.
| Scope | Indicative range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single non-load-bearing / partition wall Length, height, and finish type drive wall demolition cost | ~$400–$1,200 | Length, height, and finish type drive wall demolition cost |
| Kitchen or bathroom strip-out Cabinets, tiles, and wet-area complexity vary widely | ~$800–$2,500 | Cabinets, tiles, and wet-area complexity vary widely |
| Floor / tile removal Tile removal cost rises with screed depth and access | ~$3–$8 psf | Tile removal cost rises with screed depth and access |
| Full HDB flat strip-out Walls, floors, kitchen, fixtures—scope dependent | ~$3,000–$8,000+ | Walls, floors, kitchen, fixtures—scope dependent |
| Office / retail reinstatement demolition Partition volume and after-hours windows move price | Quoted by sqft / checklist | Partition volume and after-hours windows move price |
| Debris haulage Often bundled so demolition and disposal stay on one programme | Per lorry load | Often bundled so demolition and disposal stay on one programme |
What moves the demolition estimate Singapore figure
- Material hardness — concrete and thick screed cost more than thin finishes
- Floor level and lift access — high-rise haul adds labour and trip time
- Protection — corridor, lobby, and neighbour-sensitive dust barriers
- Disposal volume — construction waste tonnage and number of loads
- Permits and after-hours — HDB windows vs condo or commercial night works

How it works
Our demolition process
A clear sequence from WhatsApp photos to swept handover—built for homeowners, tenants, and interior designers, not only industrial sites.
- Step 1
Step 1
Send photos & floor plan
WhatsApp or email photos and marked hack zones. We return an itemised demolition estimate Singapore within 24–48 hours for most residential scopes.
- Step 2
Step 2
Site inspection if needed
Ambiguous walls, live services, or heavy concrete get a short walkthrough so structural assessment stays with your PE or qualified person where required.
- Step 3
Step 3
Permit alignment & scheduling
HDB renovation permit, MCST, or landlord approvals are aligned before breakers start—we schedule inside permitted windows.
- Step 4
Step 4
Protection & hoarding
Corridors, lift lobbies, dust barriers, and temporary hoarding where the building requires them—neighbours see a controlled site.
- Step 5
Step 5
Controlled demolition
Interior demolition within permitted hours using methods matched to the substrate—jack hammer, cutter, or manual breakout as scoped.
- Step 6
Step 6
Haulage to NEA-approved facilities
Same-day debris staging and construction waste disposal so rubble does not block tilers, waterproofing, or landlord inspection.
- Step 7
Step 7
Swept handover
Photo documentation and a tidy baseline for your ID, main contractor, or next finishing trade.
Permits & regulations for demolition works
Do you need a permit for demolition in Singapore? For HDB flats, wall and related renovation demolition typically needs an HDB renovation permit. Approval commonly takes about 3–7 working days when documents are correct. Works usually run 9am–5pm weekdays and often 9am–1pm Saturdays, with no noisy demolition on Sundays and public holidays. Never remove load-bearing walls, columns, bomb shelter walls, or AC ledges without proper approval—illegal works can bring fines up to $5,000 plus forced reinstatement.
Condos need MCST approval and PE endorsement where structures are affected. Commercial sites follow landlord and building-management rules, including hoarding where required. All debris we clear is routed through NEA-approved disposal channels. Your ID or contractor often coordinates HDB submission; we execute to the permitted scope as a licensed renovation-scale demolition partner.
Honest scope: interior & selective demolition
Selective demolition means removing only what your drawings call out—partitions, finishes, built-ins, or minor concrete—while leaving structure and common property safe. Interior demolition Singapore projects succeed when boundaries are marked before tools start. We do not offer full structural building demolition; that work belongs to firms holding the specialised BCA demolition workhead for tower tear-downs.
