Overview
This page prices shed clearance and removal for Brockley SE4 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 6,905 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Brockley (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Hilly Fields Park in SE4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
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 Brockley
The SE4 stock around Hilly Fields Park is mainly Victorian. ONS records 70% flats, 30% houses and 6,905 households in Brockley.
30% of households rent privately and 39% own, which is why shed clearance and removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Hilly Fields Park behind the plaster in SE4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Brockley knows the pattern near Hilly Fields Park: conservation-area streets of large Victorian villas and the Hilly Fields view. We plan the SE4 visit around it. Brockley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights — 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 Brockley (Overground).

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Brockley in this 70% flats neighbourhood, with 30% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out on this side of Lewisham, with 6,905 households on this patch, 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 Brockley, with 70% of homes here being flats.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 70% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Brockley most weeks on Lewisham bookings, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 70% flats neighbourhood, with 70% of homes here being flats. London Borough of Lewisham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Brockley. With 70% of Brockley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Lewisham — and 39% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 for Brockley (SE4) addresses — and 30% of Brockley homes being houses, with 30% one-person households here, with a transfer note issued for every load. That paperwork is what most Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Brockley rounds, with this being London Borough of Lewisham 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, with this being a short walk from Brockley (Overground), 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 Hilly Fields Park, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Brockley SE4 price you agree is the price you pay across SE4, with 39% owner-occupation locally.
All three. With 30% of Brockley privately rented and 39% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Hilly Fields Park — and this being a short walk from Brockley (Overground), with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
