Old Shed Removal in Edinburgh
In Scotland, sheds are often built a little sturdier to cope with the weather, which we factor into our quotes — expect slightly longer dismantling time than the UK average for a similarly sized structure.
Sheds in Edinburgh come in every condition, from a barely-used tool store to something that's been quietly rotting for a decade — the price is based on size and condition rather than a flat rate, which is why we ask for a couple of photos before quoting rather than pricing blind over the phone.
Across Edinburgh we handle everything from a single shed dismantling to a full rotten and collapsed shed removal, greenhouse removal, summer house and log cabin removal or a larger workshop and outbuilding removal. Every job includes loading and responsible shed disposal, and shed base and foundation removal or shed contents clearance can be added wherever you want the plot left completely clear.

Shed removal in Edinburgh — frequently asked questions
How and when do I pay?
We take a small deposit up front by bank transfer to secure your date, and the balance is due once the work is finished — payable by cash or bank transfer, whichever suits you. There's nothing to pay before you've had a fixed price in writing.
Is the quoted price inclusive of VAT?
Yes — the fixed price we quote is the total you pay, VAT included. There are no separate add-ons or call-out fees on top of the agreed figure.
Do you cover both homes and businesses?
Yes. We take on both residential and commercial jobs — from a single garden shed at a private home to workshops, outbuildings and larger clearances at business premises.
Can you move a shed to a new spot instead of removing it in Edinburgh?
That depends on what you need and the condition of the shed. Some sheds can be carefully dismantled and re-erected elsewhere rather than disposed of — tell us what you're after when you enquire and we'll let you know whether relocation is realistic for your structure.
Do I need planning permission to remove a shed?
Removing or demolishing a garden shed doesn't normally require planning permission. If you're replacing it with a larger structure the new build might, but taking the old one down is generally straightforward — if you're unsure, your local council's planning department can confirm.
Under UK waste law, any business that regularly removes and transports waste from a customer’s property must be a registered waste carrier and provide a waste transfer note for each load. GOV.UK — Dispose of business or commercial waste
