Overview
Shed clearance and removal in Shortlands and Hayes BR2, explained
Shed clearance and removal in Shortlands and Hayes BR2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bromley, most of them mainly Edwardian. 3,676 households sit inside this BR2 patch, 52% of them flats, so we quote on access near Hayes Common rather than a London average.
How it works
How shed clearance and removal works in Shortlands and Hayes
Five steps, the same on every BR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In BR2, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — measured on the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photos of the shed and the route out
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
Fixed price, including the base
The quote says whether the base, the felt and any slabs are included, so there is no second conversation on the day.
Step 3
Empty it first
Contents out and sorted before anything structural moves, with usable tools and bikes set aside for you or a reuse partner.
Step 4
Dismantle panel by panel
Roof, then panels, then frame and floor — kept in sections small enough to carry through the property without damage.
Step 5
Load, sweep, receipt
Loaded, the footprint swept and levelled, and the waste transfer note handed over on site.
Why choose us
Why Shortlands and Hayes customers book us
What follows is specific to Shortlands and Hayes: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bromley agents ask for.
Shortlands and Hayes walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in BR2, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the pattern behind 3,676 households inside the BR2 neighbourhood in BR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in BR2, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Hayes Common.
Insured and documented
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.
Crew sized to the job
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 and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.
Fixed prices
Shed clearance and removal prices in Shortlands and Hayes
Fixed prices for BR2 and the rest of Bromley. Size and material, whether the base comes out, and the carry distance from the garden to the van. A rear garden reached only through the hallway costs more than the same shed on a driveway.
| 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
What's included in Shortlands and Hayes
The same scope across BR2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Shortlands and Hayes: two crew who dismantle by hand — no cutting corners with a saw through a neighbour's fence line, sized for the driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak
- On BR2 jobs: contents cleared first, sorted for reuse, recycling and residual waste before the structure comes down, local shed clearance and removal included
- Standard on Bromley bookings: timber, felt, sheet metal, plastic and glazing separated for the correct recycling stream, with 3,676 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Carry out through the house, side return or communal path with floor protection down, checked on every BR2 visit
- In Shortlands and Hayes: site swept and the footprint left level, with the base broken out where you have asked for it, timed against the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern)
- On BR2 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day of the collection, agreed on the doorstep in Shortlands and Hayes before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Asbestos cement roof sheets, which are common on older London sheds and need a licensed contractor, and we will say so before the BR2 visit rather than on the day
- Disconnecting mains electricity or water run out to the shed, which needs a qualified trade, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property, which we refer on to the right trade in Shortlands and Hayes
- Paint, creosote, weedkiller and gas bottles found inside, which need a hazardous-waste carrier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR2

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
★★★★★Trustpilot
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 →

Shortlands and Hayes BR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shortlands and Hayes — the numbers that actually change a shed clearance and removal quote.
In Shortlands and Hayes (BR2) the split is 52% flats to 48% houses over 3,676 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (69% owned, 24% privately rented) means a BR2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Shortlands and Hayes substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in BR2, with solid brick on the party and external walls, the pattern behind 3,676 households inside the BR2 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in BR2, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Hayes Common is the mistake that costs a BR2 customer twice.
Shortlands and Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby — which is why a BR2 quote is not a Bromley average.
On access, driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Shortlands (Southeastern).
