This page prices shed clearance and removal for Thamesmead SE28 specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 7,133 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Thamesmead, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map in SE28, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE28, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 7,133 households inside the SE28 neighbourhood.
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. Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE28 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 Thamesmead
Census 2021 puts Thamesmead at 7,133 households with a median age of 33.3. The post-war stock is social-housing-led, which is why 53% houses and 47% flats need different handling in SE28.
28% of households rent privately and 32% own, which is why shed clearance and removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Thamesmead substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Thamesmead, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SE28, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 7,133 households inside the SE28 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SE28 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Thamesmead: brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of London's biggest regeneration programmes. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Thamesmead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads. Nearest station is Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), 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.

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Thamesmead around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), with 7,133 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out on SE28 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, 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 on the Thamesmead rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses, with 7,133 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Thamesmead most weeks on the streets near Southmere Lake, with 29% one-person households here.
For SE28 bookings, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Greenwich bookings, with 47% of homes here being flats. Around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses. With 47% of Thamesmead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Southmere Lake, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood — and 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 28% of Thamesmead privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE28 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE28 — and 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Southmere Lake is the marker we route to on SE28 jobs, with 39% social-rented stock nearby, and deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads. A SE28 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Southmere Lake, with 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing on the Thamesmead rounds, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line). Thamesmead sits close to Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) on Greenwich bookings, with 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented, so we can usually add a SE28 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice.
