From £120, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Pontoon Dock, shed clearance and removal here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 74% of North Woolwich and Silvertown's 2,668 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
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. Single access road along the river, construction diversions and gated new blocks.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Pontoon Dock (DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is North Woolwich and Silvertown gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 74% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering North Woolwich and Silvertown actually produces.
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 North Woolwich and Silvertown
2,668 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering North Woolwich and Silvertown. The build is recent new-build, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 74% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (23% owned, 38% privately rented) means a E16 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in E16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why North Woolwich and Silvertown gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 74% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering North Woolwich and Silvertown actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Riverside strip of former sugar and rubber works, now under heavy redevelopment. That character decides the practical detail of shed clearance and removal here far more than the borough boundary does. North Woolwich and Silvertown is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: single access road along the river, construction diversions and gated new blocks. Pontoon Dock (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 North Woolwich and Silvertown around Pontoon Dock (DLR), with this being London Borough of Newham territory — and 74% 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 in North Woolwich and Silvertown, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, 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 for North Woolwich and Silvertown (E16) addresses, with 2,668 households on this patch.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Newham, with 27% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in North Woolwich and Silvertown most weeks across E16, with 2,668 households on this patch.

That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Newham bookings. With 74% of North Woolwich and Silvertown homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 74% flats neighbourhood, with 39% social-rented stock nearby — and The Tate & Lyle refinery and the Thames Barrier view a few streets away, 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 this being London Borough of Newham territory, 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 74% flats neighbourhood, with 39% social-rented stock nearby, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the North Woolwich and Silvertown E16 price you agree is the price you pay on Newham bookings, with 26% of North Woolwich and Silvertown homes being houses.
All three. With 38% of North Woolwich and Silvertown privately rented and 23% owner-occupied, roughly half the E16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across E16 — and 23% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
