Lewisham · SE14 · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local New Cross fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for shed clearance and removal in New Cross SE14? We work in New Cross most weeks — goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets — and price shed clearance and removal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £120, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices shed clearance and removal for New Cross SE14 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 34% privately rented and 11,771 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
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE14, often with surface conduit, and with 33% one-person households in New Cross, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE14, 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 New Cross stock goes, where 30% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.
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 New Cross
New Cross SE14 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 73% of homes here are flats and 27% are houses, across 11,771 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (30% owned, 34% privately rented) means a SE14 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE14, often with surface conduit, and with 33% one-person households in New Cross, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in SE14. 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 New Cross stock goes, where 30% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
New Cross 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 — goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets — which is why a SE14 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, 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.

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in New Cross for New Cross (SE14) addresses, with 11,771 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London, with 33% one-person households here, 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 on Lewisham bookings, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in New Cross, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in New Cross most weeks around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SE14 jobs, with 30% owner-occupation locally.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Lewisham. With 73% of New Cross homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in New Cross, with 33% one-person households here — and 11,771 households on this patch, 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, 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 73% flats neighbourhood — and 36% social-rented stock nearby, with Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the New Cross SE14 price you agree is the price you pay around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with 34% of SE14 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 34% of New Cross privately rented and 30% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) — and 27% of New Cross homes being houses, with this being a short walk from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern).
Goldsmiths, University of London is the marker we route to for New Cross (SE14) addresses, with 27% of New Cross homes being houses, and september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. A SE14 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London, with Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away.
