Greenwich · SE18 · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Woolwich fitters · Fixed written pricesWoolwich SE18 is a regular stop on our Greenwich round. The Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river, so shed clearance and removal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £120, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Shed clearance and removal in Woolwich SE18 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Greenwich, most of them post-war. 13,241 households sit inside this SE18 patch, 63% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry 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. Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Woolwich, often with surface conduit — which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces in SE18, 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 — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 →

Working in Woolwich
The SE18 stock around The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry is post-war. ONS records 63% flats, 37% houses and 13,241 households in Woolwich.
Private renting sits at 25% and owner-occupation at 28%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Woolwich, often with surface conduit — which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces behind the plaster in SE18. 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 — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Woolwich knows the pattern near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry: the Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river. We plan the SE18 visit around it. Woolwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers — 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 Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR).

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Woolwich for Woolwich (SE18) addresses, with The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out in Woolwich, with 37% of Woolwich homes being houses, 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 Greenwich bookings, with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR).
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Greenwich, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Woolwich most weeks in this 63% flats neighbourhood, with 13,241 households on this patch.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Greenwich, with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Woolwich (SE18) addresses. With 63% of Woolwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry, with 47% social-rented stock nearby — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 25% of Woolwich privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE18 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Woolwich — and 63% of homes here being flats, with 31% one-person households here.
The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry is the marker we route to on this side of Greenwich, with 63% of homes here being flats, and royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. A SE18 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 63% flats neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing on SE18 jobs, with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR).
