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
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Uxbridge (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in UB8, cavity brickwork outside, the pattern behind 3,106 households inside the UB8 neighbourhood in UB8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Cowley and Hillingdon Heath stock goes, the reality on the streets around Little Britain Lake.
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. Wide roads and driveways; canal bridges restrict the largest vehicles.
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 Cowley and Hillingdon Heath
3,106 households sit inside the UB8 neighbourhood covering Cowley and Hillingdon Heath. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 27% of those homes are flats.
Because 27% of Cowley and Hillingdon Heath is privately rented and 26% socially rented, a lot of UB8 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect timber stud partitions inside in UB8, cavity brickwork outside, the pattern behind 3,106 households inside the UB8 neighbourhood behind the plaster in UB8. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Cowley and Hillingdon Heath stock goes, the reality on the streets around Little Britain Lake is the fault we are called back to undo.
Cowley and Hillingdon Heath 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 — canal-side streets south of Uxbridge with the Colne valley lakes nearby — which is why a UB8 quote is not a Hillingdon average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads and driveways; canal bridges restrict the largest vehicles. Uxbridge (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, 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.

With 27% of Cowley and Hillingdon Heath homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Cowley and Hillingdon Heath rounds, with 26% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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, with 47% owner-occupation locally — and this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory, which needs a qualified trade; Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property; Paint, creosote, weedkiller and gas bottles found inside in this 27% flats neighbourhood, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Cowley and Hillingdon Heath UB8 price you agree is the price you pay on Hillingdon bookings, with 26% social-rented stock nearby.
