We take down sheds, summerhouses, greenhouses, garden walls, decking and non-structural internal features, and remove every scrap of the waste.
Light demolition and dismantling in Lancing covers everything from rotten sheds to old decking and garden walls.

We take the structure down, break it up and take every scrap away, recycling timber, metal and rubble where possible, and leave your Lancing garden clear.
Swift and efficient waste removal. Quick response from the team. Quoted the job from the photos I sent. They kept in communication with us, so we weren't hanging around. The guys worked quickly to clear the area, they were very professional. I highly recommend their service.
A Star customer, Customer review
Our demolition work is small-scale and non-structural. We work on garden buildings, boundary features and internal items such as kitchens, bathrooms and stud partitions. For anything involving structural walls, foundations or larger buildings, you need an engineer and a specialist demolition contractor, and we will tell you honestly if your job falls into that category.

Local knowledge
Demolition & dismantling in Lancing: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape demolition & dismantling jobs in Lancing.
Lancing gardens
North Lancing's houses often back straight onto the Downs, and the gardens across the town tend to be long and well established. We clear overgrown borders, old leylandii cuttings, rotten fence panels and sheds that have seen too many winters of sea wind. Garden waste goes to licensed composting, not landfill.
Coast and seafront
Lancing's beach huts along the seafront and the chalets near Widewater take a battering from the weather. We clear beach hut contents and old timber, and we take care working along the promenade, where there are always walkers, cyclists and dogs.
Homes in Lancing
Much of South Lancing was built between the wars and in the decades after, so the typical Lancing property is a bungalow, a chalet bungalow or a semi with a drive. That is good news for a clearance: the van can usually park on the drive or right outside, and there are few stairs to deal with. Chalet bungalows do have steep, narrow staircases to the first-floor rooms and small eaves storage, which we allow for when we price.

Specialist demolition & dismantling services in Lancing
As part of our demolition & dismantling service in Lancing, we also provide:
Residential demolition
Home projects often start with something coming down: an old shed or summerhouse, a crumbling garden wall, rotten decking, a dated kitchen or a stud wall. We dismantle it and take all the waste away in one visit.
Commercial projects often need non-structural elements taken down before work can start: office partitions, suspended ceilings, old fit-outs, mezzanine shelving, yard stores and outbuildings. We dismantle them and clear the waste.
Timber sheds and summerhouses are dismantled panel by panel, roof felt and glass are removed carefully, and the timber is separated for recycling where possible. We can also break up and remove concrete bases if you want the ground cleared completely.
Older sheds and garages sometimes have corrugated cement roof sheets. These can contain asbestos and must not be broken up. If you are unsure, tell us before we arrive and we will advise you on getting it checked.
Walls, fencing, decking and patios
We take down low garden walls, fencing, pergolas, decking and raised beds, and break up patios and paths. All of the rubble, timber and soil is removed. If the wall is a boundary or retaining wall, check with your neighbour and a structural professional first, as these can have legal and safety implications.
Clean rubble is taken for recycling into aggregate, and timber is recycled where possible.
How demolition & dismantling in Lancing works
Lancing is roughly three miles east of our Worthing base along the A259 coast road or the A27, usually a ten-minute drive. Here is how a typical demolition & dismantling job in Lancing works:
1
Send us photos
WhatsApp a few pictures of the waste and the route to the road, or call 01903 962 492. Tell us your postcode and when suits you.
2
Get a clear price
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
3
We load and sweep
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
4
Responsible disposal
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
What affects the price of demolition & dismantling in Lancing
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Size of the structure
A small shed versus a large summerhouse.
Materials
Timber, glass, brick and concrete have different disposal costs.
Bases and foundations
Breaking up concrete adds time and weight.
Access
Rear gardens with no side access take longer.
Contents
Clearing contents first adds volume.
How to prepare
Empty sheds and outbuildings, or ask us to clear the contents too.
Tell us about any cement roof sheets or materials you are unsure of.
Disconnect any electricity supply to outbuildings using a qualified electrician.
Check boundary features with your neighbour first.
Tell us if you want concrete bases removed as well.
Mark any plants or features that must be protected.
Responsible disposal
Where your Lancing waste goes
Timber is separated for recycling, metal frames are recycled, glass is handled safely, and rubble is taken for crushing into aggregate. Everything goes to licensed facilities.
As in Worthing, residents are served by Adur & Worthing Councils for bins, bulky waste collections and the garden waste service, with county council recycling centres for self-delivered waste. We are the choice when you want it all done in one go without loading your own car.

Fantastic service I highly recommend them, took a shed down yesterday rang them last night they were here first thing this morning to take it away along with other garden waste. Highly competitive rates but they don't cut corners. They swept and tidied up after themselves as well, I'll definitely use A Star in all my future jobs. Thank you.

Quoted a good price for some hardcore removal after breaking up a pathway. A Star came and removed the waste the next day. The lads were polite and got the job done quickly. Highly recommend.
AA Star customerCustomer review
A Star Waste Management did a great job clearing a big pile of old decking from my garden. They were efficient, reasonably priced and the men were polite and respectful, and were mindful not to damage any of my plants. Would definitely use their service again.
TTerri WebbGoogle review
Jordan organized his crew to come and clear a mountain of rubbish from my back garden. A well overdue clearance all soggy and disintegrated and included a dead rat within..yuk. The lads did an amazing job. They were polite and courteous and worked flat out in the pouring rain. I can highly recommend them and will be using them again. I probably won't leave it so long next time though!
