Demolition & dismantling Shoreham

Local demolition & dismantling in Shoreham-by-Sea

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 Shoreham-by-Sea covers everything from rotten sheds to old decking and garden walls. Shoreham is about six miles east of our Worthing base, fifteen minutes via the A259 or the A27 Adur flyover. We work in gardens and homes across Shoreham town centre, Shoreham Beach, Old Shoreham, Buckingham Park and Kingston Buci.

We take the structure down, break it up and take every scrap away, recycling timber, metal and rubble where possible, and leave your Shoreham-by-Sea garden clear.

Bit of a mix up with timings but once arrived the boys were quick, efficient and very thorough in their work. There was an awful lot of stuff in our garage that was not being used and we needed it clearing for selling our house.

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 Shoreham-by-Sea: what we know locally

Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape demolition & dismantling jobs in Shoreham-by-Sea.

Overgrown back garden with long grass and brambles before a garden clearance

Shoreham gardens

Gardens on Buckingham Park and the slopes towards Mill Hill are often terraced or sloping, which makes garden clearances harder work than they look. Shoreham Beach gardens are sandy and shingly, and wind-damaged fences and sheds are a common reason people call us.

Coast and seafront

The houseboats moored along the Adur and the homes on Shoreham Beach have their own clearance challenges: long walks from the road, gangplanks, shingle paths and very little space to stack items. We are careful and patient on these jobs and bring enough people to carry things safely.

Conservation areas and period homes

Old Shoreham and parts of the town centre are conservation areas with listed buildings and historic boundary walls. We take extra care with narrow doorways, old staircases and flint walls when clearing period homes.

Homes in Shoreham

Shoreham's housing ranges from flint and brick cottages in Old Shoreham and around the high street to 1930s semis in Southlands and Buckingham Park, larger homes on the hillside towards Mill Hill and a lot of newer apartments along the riverside. Shoreham Beach has its own mix of modern detached homes, older chalets and bungalows built on the shingle spit.

The detail

Sheds, summerhouses and outbuildings

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 Shoreham-by-Sea works

Shoreham is about six miles east of our Worthing base, fifteen minutes via the A259 or the A27 Adur flyover. Here is how a typical demolition & dismantling job in Shoreham-by-Sea works:

We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.

What affects the price of demolition & dismantling in Shoreham-by-Sea

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 Shoreham 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.

Shoreham residents are served by Adur & Worthing Councils for waste collections and bulky items, with county-run recycling centres for self-delivery. If you have too much for a car boot, or you would rather not spend a weekend doing tip runs, we can clear it all in one visit.

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.

Mandy HarrisFacebook review

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.

A 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.

Terri 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!
