Shed clearance on the Isle of Wight, emptied, sorted and swept

A shed you can't get into, a workshop full of a late relative's tools, or an outbuilding that has to be empty before it comes down. We clear it, sort what can be reused, and tell you what needs to go elsewhere.

What's included

Small building, sorted properly

Most of a shed is easy. A few things aren't, and we know which.

  • Tools and workbenches

    Hand and power tools, shelving and benches. Working ones go for reuse.

  • Mowers and strimmers

    Taken once the fuel is drained, petrol or electric.

  • Bikes and garden toys

    A bike that just needs tyres is worth more to someone than as scrap.

  • Pots, trays and netting

    Plant pots, growbags, trellis, fencing and tarpaulins.

  • Chemicals flagged

    Old weedkiller, paint and creosote set aside for you, with advice on where they go.

  • Swept out

    Ready to reuse, sell or take down.

FAQ

Shed clearance questions

Short answers. If yours is not here, call or send it with your quote.

Can you take old paint and weedkiller from the shed?

No. Paint, chemicals, weedkillers and fuel go to the recycling centres at Lynnbottom or Afton Marsh, which take them from residents with a booked slot. We set them aside so you can take them.

Will you take a petrol lawnmower?

Yes, once the fuel has been drained. The council's bulky waste collection doesn't take petrol mowers.

Do I need to be there?

Not if we can get to the shed and you've told us what is staying. Leave it open or the key somewhere agreed.

Can you take the shed down too?

Yes. Once it's empty we can dismantle and remove it as a shed demolition, booked together.

What if the shed roof is asbestos?

We can usually still clear the contents if the sheets are intact and we don't disturb them. We don't remove asbestos sheets; small amounts of bonded asbestos can go to Lynnbottom with a council permit.

What happens to the tools?

Working tools and equipment go for reuse where possible, and scrap metal goes to licensed recycling.

Tell us what needs to go

A few quick questions and a photo or two is usually all it takes to give you a firm price. Or pick up the phone and talk to us.
