Kensington and Chelsea · SW3 · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Chelsea fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide shed clearance and removal in Chelsea SW3 for houses and flats around The Royal Hospital Chelsea. 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 mixed-tenure households around Sloane Square, shed clearance and removal here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 78% of Chelsea's 8,944 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW3 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
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. Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Sloane Square (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a SW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Chelsea, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around The Royal Hospital Chelsea.
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 Chelsea
In Chelsea (SW3) the split is 78% flats to 22% houses over 8,944 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
Because 35% of Chelsea is privately rented and 27% socially rented, a lot of SW3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Chelsea substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Chelsea, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around The Royal Hospital Chelsea is the mistake that costs a SW3 customer twice.
King's Road shops, Cadogan estate squares and the river at Chelsea Embankment. That character decides the practical detail of shed clearance and removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Nearest station is Sloane Square (Circle, District), 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.

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Chelsea, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out for Chelsea (SW3) addresses, with a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood, 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 78% flats neighbourhood, with 8,944 households on this patch.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Chelsea rounds, with 22% of Chelsea homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Chelsea most weeks on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 27% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Chelsea (SW3) addresses, with 27% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Sloane Square (Circle, District). With 78% of Chelsea homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SW3 jobs, with 45% one-person households here — and 22% of Chelsea homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits in 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 around Sloane Square (Circle, District) — and 8,944 households on this patch, with a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood, with a transfer note issued for every load. That paperwork is what most Kensington and Chelsea letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on SW3 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.
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 — and 27% social-rented stock nearby, which needs a qualified trade; Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property; Paint, creosote, weedkiller and gas bottles found inside across SW3, with 22% of Chelsea homes being houses, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Chelsea SW3 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with The Royal Hospital Chelsea a few streets away.
