How it works

How shed clearance and removal works in South Kensington

Five steps, the same on every SW7 job, so you know what happens before you commit. South Kensington gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, which is what a 86% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering South Kensington actually produces is what we plan for here.

  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.

Why choose us

Why South Kensington customers book us

What follows is specific to South Kensington: its walls, its access and the paperwork Kensington and Chelsea agents ask for.

South Kensington walls, not generic walls

We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW7, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW7, 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 SW7, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and museum-visitor traffic, single-lane service roads and lift-free upper floors in older conversions.

Insured and documented

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.

Crew sized to the job

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. Museum-visitor traffic, single-lane service roads and lift-free upper floors in older conversions.

Booked around your day

Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a SW7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Shed clearance and removal prices in South Kensington

Fixed prices for SW7 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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.
Shed clearance and removal price guide for South Kensington SW7
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.

Scope

What's included in South Kensington

The same scope across SW7, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Two crew who dismantle by hand — no cutting corners with a saw through a neighbour's fence line, checked on every SW7 visit
  • Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: contents cleared first, sorted for reuse, recycling and residual waste before the structure comes down, with 2,840 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
  • On SW7 jobs: timber, felt, sheet metal, plastic and glazing separated for the correct recycling stream, local shed clearance and removal included
  • In South Kensington: carry out through the house, side return or communal path with floor protection down, sized for the museum-visitor traffic, single-lane service roads and lift-free upper floors in older conversions
  • Site swept and the footprint left level, with the base broken out where you have asked for it, noted on the South Kensington job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day of the collection, allowing for the 54% of SW7 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off

Not included

  • Asbestos cement roof sheets, which are common on older London sheds and need a licensed contractor, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or a specialist contractor instead
  • Disconnecting mains electricity or water run out to the shed, which needs a qualified trade, and we will say so before the SW7 visit rather than on the day
  • Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW7
  • Paint, creosote, weedkiller and gas bottles found inside, which need a hazardous-waste carrier, which we refer on to the right trade in South Kensington

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 →

South Kensington SW7 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers South Kensington — the numbers that actually change a shed clearance and removal quote.

The SW7 stock around The Victoria and Albert Museum is period conversion. ONS records 86% flats, 14% houses and 2,840 households in South Kensington.

Private renting sits at 54% and owner-occupation at 38%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.

South Kensington substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SW7, with solid brick on the party and external walls — where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW7, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and museum-visitor traffic, single-lane service roads and lift-free upper floors in older conversions is the mistake that costs a SW7 customer twice.

Two streets can behave very differently in South Kensington: museum quarter, French lycée and cream-stucco crescents. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. South Kensington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.

On access, museum-visitor traffic, single-lane service roads and lift-free upper floors in older conversions — 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 South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly).

Common questions

Shed clearance and removal in South Kensington SW7 — your questions.

  • How much does shed clearance and removal cost in South Kensington SW7?

    Clear the contents only starts at £120 in South Kensington on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with 8% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out across SW7, with 38% owner-occupation locally, 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 on the streets near The Victoria and Albert Museum, with this being a short walk from South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly).

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in South Kensington SW7?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 2,840 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in South Kensington most weeks on the South Kensington rounds, with 45% one-person households here.

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in South Kensington?

    5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near The Victoria and Albert Museum, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a South Kensington doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Kensington and Chelsea bookings. With 86% of South Kensington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the South Kensington rounds, with this being a short walk from South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly) — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • Are your fitters insured for work in SW7?

    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 across SW7 — and 8% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly), 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 the streets near The Victoria and Albert Museum, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.

  • What is not included in shed clearance and removal in South Kensington?

    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 on the streets near The Victoria and Albert Museum — and 45% one-person households here, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the South Kensington SW7 price you agree is the price you pay across SW7, with 86% of homes here being flats.

  • Who books shed clearance and removal in South Kensington SW7 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 54% of South Kensington privately rented and 38% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW7 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 86% flats neighbourhood — and 45% one-person households here, with 14% of South Kensington homes being houses.
