Overview
Shed clearance and removal in Deptford SE8, explained
Shed clearance and removal in Deptford SE8 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 7,370 households sit inside this SE8 patch, 83% of them flats, so we quote on access near Deptford Market Yard rather than a London average.
How it works
How shed clearance and removal works in Deptford
Five steps, the same on every SE8 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE8, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — the pattern behind 7,370 households inside the SE8 neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Step 5
Load, sweep, receipt
Loaded, the footprint swept and levelled, and the waste transfer note handed over on site.
Why choose us
Why Deptford customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE8 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Deptford walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE8, 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, as the Deptford stock goes, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Market-day closures on Deptford High Street, narrow creek lanes and estate lifts.
Fixed prices
Shed clearance and removal prices in Deptford
Fixed prices for SE8 and the rest of Lewisham. 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.
| 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
What's included in Deptford
The same scope across SE8, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Deptford: two crew who dismantle by hand — no cutting corners with a saw through a neighbour's fence line, the way it is done on Deptford jobs
- On SE8 jobs: contents cleared first, sorted for reuse, recycling and residual waste before the structure comes down, with 83% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: timber, felt, sheet metal, plastic and glazing separated for the correct recycling stream, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it
- Carry out through the house, side return or communal path with floor protection down — including shed clearance and removal
- In Deptford: site swept and the footprint left level, with the base broken out where you have asked for it, timed against the walk in from Deptford (Southeastern)
- On SE8 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day of the collection, agreed on the doorstep in Deptford before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Asbestos cement roof sheets, which are common on older London sheds and need a licensed contractor, which we refer on to the right trade in Deptford
- Disconnecting mains electricity or water run out to the shed, which needs a qualified trade, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE8
- Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property, outside the fixed price on Deptford bookings
- Paint, creosote, weedkiller and gas bottles found inside, which need a hazardous-waste carrier, and we will say so before the SE8 visit rather than on the day

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
★★★★★Trustpilot
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 →

Deptford SE8 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Deptford — the numbers that actually change a shed clearance and removal quote.
Deptford SE8 is Georgian and early Victorian and social-housing-led: 83% of homes here are flats and 17% are houses, across 7,370 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (24% owned, 28% privately rented) means a SE8 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in SE8. 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, as the Deptford stock goes, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Deptford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — market street, the Albany and the creek-side yards of the old naval dockyard — which is why a SE8 quote is not a Lewisham average.
On access, market-day closures on Deptford High Street, narrow creek lanes and estate 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 Deptford (Southeastern).

With 83% of Deptford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Lewisham — and 33% one-person households here, with 48% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
