Richmond upon Thames · SW14 · Shed clearance and removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Mortlake and East Sheen fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking shed clearance and removal near The Boat Race finishing post? Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £120 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices shed clearance and removal for Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 28% privately rented and 4,944 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 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
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. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Mortlake and East Sheen, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 Mortlake and East Sheen
4,944 households sit inside the SW14 neighbourhood covering Mortlake and East Sheen. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 50% of those homes are flats.
Because 28% of Mortlake and East Sheen is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of SW14 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SW14. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Mortlake and East Sheen, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
The Boat Race finish, the old brewery site and East Sheen's shopping parade. That character decides the practical detail of shed clearance and removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Mortlake and East Sheen is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces — 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 Mortlake (South Western).

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Mortlake and East Sheen on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 4,944 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 Mortlake and East Sheen rounds, with 32% 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 for Mortlake and East Sheen (SW14) addresses, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Mortlake and East Sheen, with 56% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Mortlake and East Sheen most weeks around Mortlake (South Western), with this being a short walk from Mortlake (South Western).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with The Boat Race finishing post a few streets away. On Mortlake and East Sheen jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Boat Race finishing post. With 50% of Mortlake and East Sheen homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Mortlake and East Sheen (SW14) addresses, with 56% owner-occupation locally — and 15% social-rented stock nearby, 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 across SW14 — and 50% of homes here being flats, with 28% of SW14 homes being privately rented, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with this being a short walk from Mortlake (South Western).
All three. With 28% of Mortlake and East Sheen privately rented and 56% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Mortlake (South Western) — and 50% of Mortlake and East Sheen homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory.
The Boat Race finishing post is the marker we route to on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 4,944 households on this patch, and level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. A SW14 slot added to an existing Richmond upon Thames round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SW14 jobs, with 32% one-person households here.
