Shed Contents Clearance
Plenty of sheds we clear haven't been properly sorted through in years — old paint tins, broken tools, garden furniture, even the odd bike. You don't need to empty it yourself; we can clear the contents as part of the same visit, sorting out anything that needs specialist disposal (like old paint or chemicals) separately.
Quick answer
Shed Contents Clearance typically starts from £40 — from £40 as an add-on, depending on volume — often bundled into the shed removal price. We confirm a fixed price from a couple of photos before booking a date.
What contents clearance involves
Most clearances are a mix of things that can go straight in the van and a smaller amount that needs handling differently — old paint tins, batteries, aerosols and anything that looks like a chemical or solvent are set aside and flagged for the correct specialist disposal route rather than thrown in with general waste. Anything still genuinely usable — decent hand tools, garden furniture in reasonable condition — can be set aside for you to keep, or we can arrange for it to be donated instead of scrapped, just let us know when you book.
Shed contents clearance is the part that turns a shed removal into a genuinely finished job — there's little point taking the building down if the pile of tools, pots, bikes and general clutter is left sitting on the lawn. It's most often booked alongside shed dismantling so the shed is emptied and removed in one go, but it also works as a standalone clear-out if you just want the space back. Cleared contents are sorted the same careful way as the shed itself and taken away through our shed disposal process, with reusable items set aside or donated wherever you'd prefer that to the skip.

How It Works
- 1
Send photos & get a fixed price
A couple of photos of the shed (and base, if relevant) is usually enough for an accurate, no-obligation quote — no waiting around for a salesperson visit on straightforward jobs.
- 2
Pick a date that suits you
We'll offer the next available slots for your area — often within a week — and confirm a time window, not just a vague 'sometime on Tuesday'.
- 3
We dismantle & remove on site
The shed is taken apart panel by panel, loaded straight into the van, and the area is left swept and tidy — usually within 1–3 hours depending on size.
- 4
Responsible recycling & disposal
Timber, felt and metal fixings are separated where possible and taken to a licensed facility, with a waste transfer note available if you need one.

Contents Clearance — frequently asked questions
Do I need to empty the shed before you arrive?
It helps, but it isn't essential. We can clear out old contents, tools, paint tins and general garden clutter at the same time for an extra fee — just let us know when you book so we can quote accurately.
Can you take away other garden waste at the same time?
Yes — fencing, old greenhouses, garden furniture, overgrown cuttings and general rubbish can usually be added to the same visit so you only pay for one call-out.
Is there a charge just for a quote?
No. Quotes from a couple of photos over email or WhatsApp are free, and an in-person site visit for larger or unusual jobs is also free with no obligation to book.
How much does it cost to remove an old shed in your area?
Most single-shed jobs in your area fall between £90–£230 depending on size, condition and access. We always confirm a fixed price before any work starts — no hidden call-out or "final invoice" surprises.
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
