Overview

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. Pedestrianised piazza with timed vehicle access only, and narrow stairs above shops.
Same-week across every borough, and next-day on contents-only clears where a garden has to be presentable for a viewing. Covent Garden (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a WC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Covent Garden, with metal stud partitions between rooms — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in WC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 3,927 households inside the WC2 neighbourhood.
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 Covent Garden
Walk Covent Garden from The Royal Opera House outwards and the period conversion pattern is obvious: 95% of the 3,927 households in WC2 live in flats, 5% in houses.
44% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why shed clearance and removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Covent Garden, with metal stud partitions between rooms — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Covent Garden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 3,927 households inside the WC2 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Covent Garden knows the pattern near The Royal Opera House: piazza, opera house and theatre-land streets with flats above the shops. We plan the WC2 visit around it. Covent Garden sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, pedestrianised piazza with timed vehicle access only, and narrow stairs above shops — 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 Covent Garden (Piccadilly).

Clear the contents only starts at £120 in Covent Garden on the Covent Garden rounds, with 5% of Covent Garden homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Size and material, whether the base comes out on Westminster bookings, with 29% social-rented stock nearby, 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 the streets near The Royal Opera House, with 44% of WC2 homes being privately rented.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Westminster, with this being Westminster City Council territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Covent Garden most weeks on WC2 jobs, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Covent Garden rounds, with 44% of WC2 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Covent Garden (WC2) addresses. With 95% of Covent Garden homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with 28% owner-occupation locally — and 29% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Covent Garden rounds, with 46% one-person households here — and 44% of WC2 homes being privately rented, with a transfer note issued for every load. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across WC2, with this being Westminster City Council territory.
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, with 5% of Covent Garden homes being houses, 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 Covent Garden, which need a hazardous-waste carrier. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Covent Garden WC2 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near The Royal Opera House, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 44% of Covent Garden privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the WC2 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Covent Garden — and 95% of homes here being flats, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
