Newham · E16 · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Custom House fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for shed clearance and removal in Custom House E16? We work in Custom House most weeks — regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line — 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
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Custom House, shed clearance and removal here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 50% of Custom House's 3,330 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E16 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
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Custom House, often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E16, 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 Custom House stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
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 Custom House
3,330 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering Custom House. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 50% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (26% owned, 24% privately rented) means a E16 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Custom House substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Custom House, often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Custom House stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a E16 customer twice.
Custom House 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 — regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line — which is why a E16 quote is not a Newham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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 Custom House on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with 26% 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 Newham bookings, with Newham 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 in Custom House, with 26% owner-occupation locally.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Custom House, with 50% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Custom House most weeks around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with Newham parking rules in play.
In Custom House, 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 50% flats neighbourhood, with 3,330 households on this patch. Ask for it in writing before the E16 visit and it is on the job sheet.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock. With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Custom House (E16) addresses — and 50% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), 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 — and Newham parking rules in play, 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 50% flats neighbourhood, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Custom House E16 price you agree is the price you pay on Newham bookings, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 24% of Custom House privately rented and 26% owner-occupied, roughly half the E16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) — and 26% one-person households here, with 50% of homes here being flats.
Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to for Custom House (E16) addresses, with 3,330 households on this patch, and construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
