Empty it, or take the whole thing away
Some sheds just need clearing out. Others have a soft roof, a rotten floor and a door that hasn’t shut properly in years, and it’s time for the whole thing to go. We do both, across Weston-super-Mare and North Somerset.
Tell us which you need. We can clear the contents and leave you a tidy, usable shed, or clear it, take it apart and remove every panel, so you’re left with a clean patch of garden ready for a new shed, paving or planting.
Shed clearance
- Garden tools, mowers and strimmers
- Bikes, toys and sports kit
- Pots, trays, compost and soil bags
- Timber offcuts, old shelving and scrap metal
- Boxes and general clutter
- Floor swept when it’s empty
Shed removal
- Timber sheds taken down panel by panel
- Metal sheds unbolted and flattened
- Plastic and resin sheds dismantled
- Roof felt stripped and removed
- Glass from windows removed safely
- Timber bearers and base frame taken away
Summerhouses, log stores, playhouses and greenhouses can be cleared and removed too. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s involved.
Taking the shed down
Once the shed is empty, we take the roof off first: felt, then roof boards. Then the walls come down a panel at a time, with fixings pulled or cut. Glass is taken out before anything is moved. Panels are cut down if they won’t fit through the side gate.
What happens to the base depends on what it is:
- Timber bearers or a wooden frame: removed as part of the job.
- Paving slabs: we can lift and stack them for reuse, or take them away. Mention this when you ask for a quote.
- Concrete pad: normally left in place. If you want it broken up and taken away, that’s priced separately, as rubble is charged by weight.
If the shed has an electricity supply, please have it safely disconnected by an electrician before we arrive.
Check the roof before anyone touches it
Asbestos cement roofs are common on older sheds and garages. Corrugated grey sheets, often with a slightly furry or weathered surface, were widely used until asbestos was banned in 1999. They’re generally low risk if left alone, but breaking, cutting, drilling or jet-washing them can release fibres.
If your shed was built before 2000 and has a sheet roof or wall panels you’re not sure about, tell us when you get in touch and send a photo. We don’t remove asbestos on a standard visit. What we can do is:
- Clear the contents and leave the roof untouched
- Leave the structure standing until the roof has been dealt with, then come back and remove the rest
- Arrange a licensed specialist to remove the asbestos sheets
Please don’t try to break it up to fit in the bin. Felt-covered timber roofs, the usual kind on modern sheds, aren’t a concern.
How it works
- Photos. Send a photo of the shed outside and inside, and one of the route from the shed to the road: side gate, steps, path. Rough measurements help.
- Fixed quote. A fixed written price for clearing it, removing it, or both. Bases and any extras are spelt out so there’s nothing added on the day.
- Clearance day. Contents first, then the structure. Everything is carried out to the van, sorting as we go.
- Sweep and paperwork. The area is cleared and swept, and a Duty of Care waste transfer note is available on request.
What to tell us beforehand, and where it all goes
Sheds collect the same tricky items as garages. Gas bottles, fuel, solvent paints, pesticides, weedkiller and other chemicals need special handling, so tell us about them beforehand and we’ll plan for them in the quote. Our garage clearance page has a short guide on what to do with each.
Everything else is sorted. Usable tools, bikes and garden furniture go to local charities and reuse projects. Shed timber, metal and green waste go for recycling. What’s left goes to licensed facilities. We’re an Environment Agency registered waste carrier and fully insured.
If the garden needs clearing as well, see garden waste clearance.

Shed clearance questions
Do I need to empty the shed before you take it down?
No. We clear the contents and remove the shed in one visit. Just take out anything you want to keep, or tell us what it is.
Can you take a shed with an asbestos roof?
Not on a standard visit. We can clear the contents and leave the roof alone, and arrange a licensed specialist to remove the asbestos sheets.
Will you take the base away too?
Timber bearers and wooden frames are included. Paving slabs can be lifted and stacked or taken away. Concrete pads are usually left, or broken out and removed at an extra cost because rubble is priced by weight.
What if the only access is through the house?
We can work through a house if needed. We’ll cut panels down to a manageable size and protect floors and doorways on the way out.
Can you put up a new shed afterwards?
We don’t build sheds, but we’ll leave the area clear and swept so your installer can get straight on with it.
