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. Hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE5, 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 on these streets — and with 34% one-person households in Camberwell, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Camberwell
The SE5 stock around Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 83% flats, 17% houses and 12,806 households in Camberwell.
Private renting sits at 24% and owner-occupation at 31%; the first group books shed clearance and removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Camberwell substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 34% one-person households in Camberwell, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SE5 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Camberwell knows the pattern near Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery: georgian Camberwell Grove, the art college and King's College Hospital. We plan the SE5 visit around it. Camberwell sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps. Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) 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 Camberwell across SE5, with 24% of SE5 homes being privately rented, 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 streets near Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery, with Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery a few streets away, 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 SE5 jobs, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 83% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Camberwell most weeks on Southwark bookings, with 31% owner-occupation locally.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Camberwell, with Southwark parking rules in play.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Southwark. With 83% of Camberwell homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SE5 jobs, with 44% social-rented stock nearby — and 17% of Camberwell 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 on the streets near Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery, with 17% of Camberwell homes being houses — and Southwark parking rules in play, with a transfer note issued for every load. That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on SE5 jobs, with this being a short walk from Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink).
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 31% owner-occupation locally, 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 83% flats neighbourhood, with 44% social-rented stock nearby, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Camberwell SE5 price you agree is the price you pay around Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink), with 17% of Camberwell homes being houses.
All three. With 24% of Camberwell privately rented and 31% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Southwark — and 31% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink).
