Fixed prices

Shed clearance and removal prices in Kensington and Chelsea

These are the Kensington and Chelsea floor prices for a shed clearance. Size and material, whether the base comes out, 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. In this borough the additional variables are the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Shed clearance and removal price guide for Kensington and Chelsea
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Clear the contents only£1201 hrTools, pots, bikes and bagged garden waste emptied out, with the structure left standing.
Small timber shed, 6x4 to 8x6, dismantled and taken£2201–2 hrsPanels 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£3802–4 hrsHeavier framing, a felted roof and often a timber base, which doubles both the dismantling and the load.
Metal or plastic shed removal£2401–2 hrsSheet 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£1801–2 hrsInert waste is weighed in, and a slab base can outweigh the shed that stood on it.
Shed removal with garden clearance£420Half dayOne visit, one crew and one transfer note where the shed, the overgrowth and the old decking all go together.

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, agent and commercial invoices are plus VAT at 20%. Dismantling, the carry through the property, licensed disposal and the transfer note are included. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote.

Working in Kensington and Chelsea

Why Kensington and Chelsea is not a generic London job

The Natural History Museum and Notting Hill's Portobello Road is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Kensington and Chelsea.

The housing stock

The stock in Kensington and Chelsea is stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates, and the mix changes street by street — Bayswater (W2), Chelsea (SW3) and Earl's Court (SW5) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: some of the tightest cpzs in london, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Locally that means hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups and cadogan estate parking rules, king's road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea rules

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea runs bulky-waste collections and a reuse and recycling centre, and for one or two items in Kensington and Chelsea that is a fair option. It stops being useful on size limits, same-week deadlines and anything lifted out of a commercial unit or a communal area — those are the loads we take, under our waste carrier licence, with a transfer note issued on the day.

How the borough got this way

Market gardens turned into the Great Exhibition's Albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the Victorian wealthy. That history is why Kensington and Chelsea property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Kensington and Chelsea

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bayswater or Westbourne Park.

Included in the price

  • Two crew who dismantle by hand — no cutting corners with a saw through a neighbour's fence line
  • Contents cleared first, sorted for reuse, recycling and residual waste before the structure comes down
  • Timber, felt, sheet metal, plastic and glazing separated for the correct recycling stream
  • Carry out through the house, side return or communal path with floor protection down
  • Site swept and the footprint left level, with the base broken out where you have asked for it
  • Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day of the collection

Not included

  • 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, which needs a qualified trade
  • Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property
  • Paint, creosote, weedkiller and gas bottles found inside, which need a hazardous-waste carrier

Method

How a Kensington and Chelsea booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Kensington and Chelsea job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. Step 1

    Photos of the shed and the route out

    Size, material, roof type and how we reach the garden. Rear-garden access through the house is normal in London and priced in.

  2. Step 2

    Fixed price, including the base

    The quote says whether the base, the felt and any slabs are included, so there is no second conversation on the day.

  3. Step 3

    Empty it first

    Contents out and sorted before anything structural moves, with usable tools and bikes set aside for you or a reuse partner.

  4. Step 4

    Dismantle panel by panel

    Roof, then panels, then frame and floor — kept in sections small enough to carry through the property without damage.

  5. Step 5

    Load, sweep, receipt

    Loaded, the footprint swept and levelled, and the waste transfer note handed over on site.

Local questions

Shed clearance and removal in Kensington and Chelsea — your questions

  • How much does a shed clearance cost in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Kensington and Chelsea, and the ladder runs up to £420 for the largest job on the table above. Size and material, whether the base comes out, 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Kensington and Chelsea postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SW10, SW3, SW5, SW7, W10, W11, W14, W2 and W8. On the ground that includes Bayswater, Chelsea, Earl's Court, Holland Park, Kensington and Ladbroke Grove.

  • How quickly can you get to Kensington and Chelsea?

    Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Some of the tightest CPZs in London, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Kensington and Chelsea flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the Lancaster West and World's End estates is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Kensington and Chelsea?

    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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Kensington and Chelsea postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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, which needs a qualified trade and Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property. If something on that list turns up in Kensington and Chelsea, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
