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
Shed clearance and removal in Clapham SW4 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lambeth, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 21,167 households sit inside this SW4 patch, 76% of them flats, so we quote on access near Clapham Common rather than a London average.
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. Very tight CPZ hours, narrow terraces and share-house turnover every summer.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Clapham Common (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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 Clapham
21,167 households sit inside the SW4 neighbourhood covering Clapham. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 76% of those homes are flats.
Because 34% of Clapham is privately rented and 30% socially rented, a lot of SW4 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SW4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
The Common, Abbeville Village and the Old Town's Georgian houses. That character decides the practical detail of shed clearance and removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Clapham 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, very tight CPZ hours, narrow terraces and share-house turnover every summer — 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 Clapham Common (Northern).

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Clapham, with 24% of Clapham homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out for Clapham (SW4) addresses, with Clapham Common a few streets away, 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 76% flats neighbourhood, with 34% of SW4 homes being privately rented.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 76% flats neighbourhood, with 37% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Clapham most weeks on this side of Lambeth, with this being a short walk from Clapham Common (Northern).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Clapham Common (Northern), with 31% one-person households here.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SW4 jobs. With 76% of Clapham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Clapham rounds — and 31% one-person households here, with Lambeth parking rules in play, 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 — and Lambeth parking rules in play, 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 76% flats neighbourhood, with Clapham Common a few streets away, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Clapham SW4 price you agree is the price you pay around Clapham Common (Northern), with 34% of SW4 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 34% of Clapham privately rented and 37% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Clapham (SW4) addresses — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
Clapham Common is the marker we route to across SW4, with Lambeth parking rules in play, and very tight CPZ hours, narrow terraces and share-house turnover every summer. A SW4 slot added to an existing Lambeth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Lambeth, with 76% of homes here being flats.
