Lewisham · SE23 · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Forest Hill fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking shed clearance and removal near The Horniman Museum and Gardens? Steep gradients, narrow hill roads and permit bays around the station, 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
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Forest Hill, shed clearance and removal here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 58% of Forest Hill's 6,684 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE23 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Steep gradients, narrow hill roads and permit bays around the station.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Forest Hill (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE23 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Forest Hill, with metal stud partitions between rooms, where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE23, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Forest Hill gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 28% one-person households in Forest Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 →

The Horniman Museum, the hill views and a compact village centre. That character decides the practical detail of shed clearance and removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Forest Hill is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Steep gradients, narrow hill roads and permit bays around the station. Nearest station is Forest Hill (Overground), and 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.
