Lambeth · SW16 · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Streatham fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking shed clearance and removal near Streatham Common and the Rookery? A23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £120 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Shed clearance and removal in Streatham SW16 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lambeth, most of them mainly Edwardian. 26,325 households sit inside this SW16 patch, 66% of them flats, so we quote on access near Streatham Common and the Rookery 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
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) is the nearest station, so a SW16 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, and with 30% one-person households in Streatham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW16, 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, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Streatham Common and the Rookery.
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. A23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts.
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 Streatham
26,325 households sit inside the SW16 neighbourhood covering Streatham. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 66% of those homes are flats.
Because 35% of Streatham is privately rented and 21% socially rented, a lot of SW16 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Streatham substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 30% one-person households in Streatham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Streatham Common and the Rookery is the mistake that costs a SW16 customer twice.
Streatham 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 — a two-mile high road, the common and the ice rink, with Edwardian streets either side — which is why a SW16 quote is not a Lambeth average.
On access, a23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts — 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 Streatham (Thameslink, Southern).
