Lewisham · SE26 · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Sydenham fitters · Fixed written pricesSydenham SE26 is a regular stop on our Lewisham round. A long high street on the hill where the Crystal Palace once stood nearby, so shed clearance and removal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £120, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Shed clearance and removal in Sydenham SE26 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 9,790 households sit inside this SE26 patch, 64% of them flats, so we quote on access near Sydenham Wells Park 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
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Sydenham Wells Park in SE26, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE26, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — 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.
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, high-street loading windows and narrow side streets.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Sydenham (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE26 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 Sydenham
Census 2021 puts Sydenham at 9,790 households with a median age of 36.9. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 36% houses and 64% flats need different handling in SE26.
Private renting sits at 22% and owner-occupation at 45%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Sydenham Wells Park behind the plaster in SE26. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE26, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — 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.
Two streets can behave very differently in Sydenham: a long high street on the hill where the Crystal Palace once stood nearby. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Sydenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep hills, high-street loading windows and narrow side streets — 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 Sydenham (Overground).

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Sydenham for Sydenham (SE26) addresses, with 64% of homes here being flats, 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 Sydenham rounds, with Lewisham parking rules in play, 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 31% one-person households here.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Lewisham, with 64% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Sydenham most weeks on SE26 jobs, 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 across SE26, with 45% owner-occupation locally.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Sydenham (Overground). With 64% of Sydenham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Sydenham, with 45% owner-occupation locally — and 36% of Sydenham homes being houses, 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 in Sydenham, with 31% one-person households here — and 9,790 households on this patch, 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 Lewisham bookings, with 9,790 households on this patch.
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 — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with Sydenham Wells Park a few streets away, which needs a qualified trade; Removing shared boundary fencing or anything belonging to a neighbouring property; Paint, creosote, weedkiller and gas bottles found inside around Sydenham (Overground), which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Sydenham SE26 price you agree is the price you pay in Sydenham, with 22% of SE26 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 22% of Sydenham privately rented and 45% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE26 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE26 — and 9,790 households on this patch, with this being a short walk from Sydenham (Overground).
