Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Forest Gate, shed clearance and removal here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 48% of Forest Gate's 10,407 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E7 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
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. Elizabeth-line-era demand, narrow streets and permit bays across the conservation areas.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Forest Gate (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a E7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in E7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — with 24% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
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 Forest Gate
Census 2021 puts Forest Gate at 10,407 households with a median age of 33.2. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 52% houses and 48% flats need different handling in E7.
Private renting sits at 38% and owner-occupation at 38%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in E7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — with 24% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Forest Gate knows the pattern near Wanstead Flats: wanstead Flats on the doorstep and streets of tall Victorian terraces. We plan the E7 visit around it. Forest Gate is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Elizabeth-line-era demand, narrow streets and permit bays across the conservation areas. Nearest station is Forest Gate (Elizabeth line), 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 Forest Gate on E7 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out on this side of Newham, with this being London Borough of Newham territory, 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 Forest Gate, with 23% one-person households here.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 48% flats neighbourhood, with Newham parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Forest Gate most weeks on Newham bookings, with 48% of homes here being flats.
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 48% flats neighbourhood, with 23% one-person households here. London Borough of Newham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across E7. With 48% of Forest Gate homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Newham — and 24% social-rented stock nearby, with Newham parking rules in play, 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 on this side of Newham — and Wanstead Flats a few streets away, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with a transfer note issued for every load. That paperwork is what most Newham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Forest Gate, with 52% of Forest Gate homes being houses.
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 48% flats neighbourhood — and 10,407 households on this patch, with Wanstead Flats a few streets away, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Forest Gate E7 price you agree is the price you pay on Newham bookings, with 48% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 38% of Forest Gate privately rented and 38% owner-occupied, roughly half the E7 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 48% flats neighbourhood — and 10,407 households on this patch, with 52% of Forest Gate homes being houses.
