Overview
Shed clearance and removal in Kentish Town NW5 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 7,587 households sit inside this NW5 patch, 86% of them flats, so we quote on access near The O2 Forum Kentish Town rather than a London average.
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
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. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW5, often with surface conduit — where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
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 →

Private renting sits at 24% and owner-occupation at 26%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW5, often with surface conduit — where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in NW5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Kentish Town knows the pattern near The O2 Forum Kentish Town: working high street, Victorian terraces and the Forum's gig traffic. We plan the NW5 visit around it. Kentish Town sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access — 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.

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Kentish Town on Camden bookings, with 36% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out in this 86% flats neighbourhood, with 7,587 households on this patch, 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 for Kentish Town (NW5) addresses, with 86% of homes here being flats.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Kentish Town rounds, with 86% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kentish Town most weeks on NW5 jobs, with this being London Borough of Camden territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across NW5, with 49% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Kentish Town rounds. With 86% of Kentish Town homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Kentish Town (NW5) addresses, with this being London Borough of Camden territory — and 24% of NW5 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 in this 86% flats neighbourhood — and Camden parking rules in play, with 49% social-rented stock nearby, with a transfer note issued for every load. That paperwork is what most Camden letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Kentish Town (NW5) addresses, with 24% of NW5 homes being privately rented.
Asbestos cement roof sheets, which are common on older London sheds and need a licensed contractor; Disconnecting mains electricity or water run out to the shed, which needs a qualified trade; Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property; Paint, creosote, weedkiller and gas bottles found inside on the Kentish Town rounds — and 49% social-rented stock nearby, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Kentish Town NW5 price you agree is the price you pay on NW5 jobs, with 7,587 households on this patch.
All three. With 24% of Kentish Town privately rented and 26% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near The O2 Forum Kentish Town — and 86% of homes here being flats, with The O2 Forum Kentish Town a few streets away.
