Really good service. Competitive price and left the site clear. I liked the good communication e.g. pictures of the finished job as I couldn't be at home as I was working. Great job and I would use them again.
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 Portslade: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape demolition & dismantling jobs in Portslade.
Portslade gardens
The Mile Oak and Easthill gardens are often long and sloping towards the Downs, with established hedges and plenty of lawn. The terraces in lower Portslade have small back yards reached only through the house, which means careful carrying and floor protection.
Conservation areas and period homes
Portslade Old Village is a conservation area with flint walls, narrow lanes and historic buildings around St Nicolas Church. We take extra care with access and with the fabric of older homes when working there.
Homes in Portslade
Lower Portslade is mainly Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Boundary Road, Station Road and the streets between the railway and the harbour. Portslade Old Village has flint cottages and period houses, while the roads climbing to Mile Oak and Easthill are mostly post-war semis, bungalows and some council-built estates. Each brings its own access considerations, and we plan for them when we price.

Specialist demolition & dismantling services in Portslade
As part of our demolition & dismantling service in Portslade, 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 Portslade works
Portslade is around nine miles east of our Worthing base, roughly twenty-five minutes via the A27 or the A259 coast road. Here is how a typical demolition & dismantling job in Portslade 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 Portslade
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 Portslade 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.
Brighton & Hove City Council runs a chargeable bulky waste service and household waste recycling sites for residents. They are useful for occasional items. When you need a mixed load cleared and carried out for you, on a set day, we are the quicker route.

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.

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.

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.

JJulie SmithGoogle 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!
