Islington · EC1V · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Old Street fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide shed clearance and removal in Old Street EC1V for houses and flats around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground. From £120, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Old Street, shed clearance and removal here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 98% of Old Street's 4,949 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC1V shape the slot length we hold.
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. Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a EC1V visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, and with 39% one-person households in Old Street, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in EC1V, 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, as the Old Street stock goes, and with 28% 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. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
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 Old Street
Old Street EC1V is post-war and social-housing-led: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,949 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (19% owned, 28% privately rented) means a EC1V diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, and with 39% one-person households in Old Street, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Old Street is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Old Street stock goes, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Old Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe — which is why a EC1V quote is not a Islington average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) 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.
