What we do
Garden Shed Removal, Demolition & Emptying
Shed Removal
With our shed clearance, demolition and emptying service, we can remove anything from your shed or the shed itself. However, we do not undertake any heavy demolition work. In other words, a shed should be able to be knocked down without a need for special equipment aside from a wrench and hammer. Anything from your shed can be taken away by us including old furniture, lawnmowers, and any other junk that you may have collected over the years. All loading will be taken care of by our two man team.
Shed Recycling
Everything we collect, we try to recycle – even a shed. The majority of things found within a shed can easily be recycled and sometimes can be re-used. Whether it’s garden tools or an old lawnmower it can be done. Depending on how full or large a shed is, the belongings of a shed normally equate to about 2-6 cubic yards. To demolish a shed, it normally equates to about 2-4 cubic yards and in time, takes around 10 – 20 minutes. Yet again, this depends on how much is within it and how large it is.

If your shed includes hazardous materials, we follow strict procedures to isolate and transport them safely.

If required, we arrange a separate hazardous waste collection with fully licensed teams and compliant disposal routes. We always discuss safety steps upfront and keep you informed about costs and timelines.
To speed up the job and reduce costs, clear the area around the shed and remove small items beforehand. Take photos of the shed and contents to assist the crew with safe loading and sorting. If there are gates, drop bars, or overhead obstacles, tell us in advance so we can plan access. We provide a written quote and confirm turnaround times before work begins.
