Overview
This page prices shed clearance and removal for Shoreditch E1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 37% privately rented and 3,361 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hackney 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 E1, often with surface conduit — the pattern behind 3,361 households inside the E1 neighbourhood in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1 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 Shoreditch
Census 2021 puts Shoreditch at 3,361 households with a median age of 30.7. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 2% houses and 98% flats need different handling in E1.
Owner-occupation runs at 20% in Shoreditch, so alongside the 37% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Shoreditch substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E1, often with surface conduit — the pattern behind 3,361 households inside the E1 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a E1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Shoreditch: warehouse offices, rooftop bars and Boxpark on the City fringe. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Shoreditch is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts — 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 Shoreditch High Street (Overground).
