Overview
This page prices shed clearance and removal for Petts Wood BR5 specifically: inter-war stock, 8% privately rented and 2,972 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Size, material, roof type and how we reach the garden. Rear-garden access through the house is normal in London and priced in.
Step 2
The quote says whether the base, the felt and any slabs are included, so there is no second conversation on the day.
Step 3
Contents out and sorted before anything structural moves, with usable tools and bikes set aside for you or a reuse partner.
Step 4
Roof, then panels, then frame and floor — kept in sections small enough to carry through the property without damage.
Step 5
Loaded, the footprint swept and levelled, and the waste transfer note handed over on site.
Why choose us
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — which is what a 8% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Petts Wood actually produces in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in BR5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
Registered waste carrier. Shed timber goes to a wood recycling facility, felt and mixed roofing to residual treatment, sheet metal to a scrap processor and any slab base to inert aggregate recycling, with a transfer note issued for every load.
Two crew and a Luton on a standard timber shed; three crew where the shed is a workshop size, the base is concrete or the only route out is through the house. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear the contents only | £120 | 1 hr | Tools, pots, bikes and bagged garden waste emptied out, with the structure left standing. |
| Small timber shed, 6x4 to 8x6, dismantled and taken | £220 | 1–2 hrs | Panels come apart in the garden, and the carry through the house or a side return is the real work in a London terrace. |
| Large timber shed or workshop, 10x8 upward | £380 | 2–4 hrs | Heavier framing, a felted roof and often a timber base, which doubles both the dismantling and the load. |
| Metal or plastic shed removal | £240 | 1–2 hrs | Sheet metal and plastic go to separate recycling streams, and rusted fixings usually have to be cut rather than undone. |
| Concrete or paving-slab base broken out | £180 | 1–2 hrs | Inert waste is weighed in, and a slab base can outweigh the shed that stood on it. |
| Shed removal with garden clearance | £420 | Half day | One visit, one crew and one transfer note where the shed, the overgrowth and the old decking all go together. |

Scope
The most professional painting provider. They just finished painting my two bed flat in elephant and castle. Abdula and his colleague did amazing job. Very helpful and informative. They even cleaned the house after the painting
The team was very kind and respectful the whole cleaning and they did a wonderful job! They called and asked if they could come earlier because they finished their first job early, which was a nice surprise. When they arrived, they asked good questions and set expectations on what they were planning to clean. My… Read in full →
Amazing service from these guys. Arrived 15 mins early to start promptly and were done with a 2 bed / 2 bath flat in under 3hrs. Simply amazing. The finished result was out of this world, the kitchen appliances were quite dirty and they were like brand new afterwards including the oven! I cannot recommend… Read in full →

Working in Petts Wood
Census 2021 puts Petts Wood at 2,972 households with a median age of 44.6. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 92% houses and 8% flats need different handling in BR5.
Private renting sits at 8% and owner-occupation at 90%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Petts Wood substrates run to cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — which is what a 8% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Petts Wood actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in BR5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays is the mistake that costs a BR5 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Petts Wood: a planned 1930s commuter suburb with a conservation-area shopping parade. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Petts Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on a standard timber shed; three crew where the shed is a workshop size, the base is concrete or the only route out is through the house.
