Shed Disposal
Removing a shed is only half the job — where it ends up afterwards matters too. Once your shed is dismantled or demolished, materials are sorted on site where possible: reusable timber and metal are separated out for recycling, and the rest goes to a licensed waste transfer facility rather than straight to landfill. Disposal is included in every quote, not charged as a separate line item.
Quick answer
Shed Disposal typically starts from £90 — disposal is included in every removal price — see the full price guide for details. We confirm a fixed price from a couple of photos before booking a date.
What disposal involves
Sorting happens on site rather than at the tip, which makes a real difference to how much actually gets recycled: sound timber and metal fixings are pulled out and kept separate in the van from the start, rather than mixed together and sorted later (or not at all). Under UK waste law, any business that regularly collects and transports waste from a customer's property has to be a registered waste carrier and issue a waste transfer note for the load — we can provide one on request, which is often needed for landlord jobs, house clearances or insurance claims.
Shed disposal is included in every removal we do, not billed as a separate line — the price you're quoted for shed dismantling or shed demolition already covers loading, haulage and responsible disposal of the timber, felt, metal and fixings. Choosing a proper shed removal and disposal service over a DIY tip run or a half-filled skip means the waste is handled by a registered carrier with a paper trail, and far more of it is diverted from landfill. If you also need the contents cleared or the base lifted, shed contents clearance and base and foundation removal slot into the same visit.

When you might need disposal
The most common situations we're called out for — if yours isn't listed, send a couple of photos through the contact form and we'll tell you exactly how we'd handle it.
Avoiding skip hire
When you’d rather not pay for a full skip, arrange a permit and load it yourself for what is really a one-shed job.
Proof of responsible disposal
Landlord work, house clearances or insurance claims where a waste transfer note and documented disposal are needed.
A genuinely clean finish
When you want every scrap taken away and recycled where possible, not left in a pile for you to deal with later.
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.

Shed materials we remove
Timber sheds
The most common type — dismantled panel by panel and sorted for recycling where the wood is in good enough condition.
Metal & steel sheds
Panels unbolted and separated out for scrap-metal recycling — usually quicker to take apart than an equivalent timber shed.
Plastic & resin sheds
Lightweight panels removed by hand and kept separate from other waste so they can be recycled cleanly.
Concrete & sectional sheds
Heavier panels that need careful handling and sometimes breaking down on site — we usually confirm the approach from photos before quoting.
Often booked alongside disposal
Most shed jobs combine a few of these into a single visit and a single fixed price — for example shed dismantling, shed demolition and shed contents clearance.

Can I get a waste transfer note or proof of disposal?
Yes, a waste transfer note is available on request for your records, which is particularly useful if the removal is part of a house clearance, landlord job, or insurance claim.
Are you insured?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance for all removal and dismantling work, and we're a registered waste carrier for the disposal side.
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.
