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 Southwick covers everything from rotten sheds to old decking and garden walls. Southwick is around seven and a half miles east of our Worthing base, roughly twenty minutes along the A259 or A27. We work in gardens and homes across Southwick Green, Southwick Square, Kingston Buci, Fishersgate and Eastbrook.

We used this company for the first time today, very responsive to messages and hard working guys.

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 Southwick: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape demolition & dismantling jobs in Southwick.
Southwick gardens
The houses on the slopes towards Southwick Hill often have steep, stepped gardens, so clearing them means carrying waste up or down steps to the road. We allow for this when we quote. Mature hedges, old sheds and overgrown lawns are the most common garden jobs we see here.
Conservation areas and period homes
Southwick Green is a conservation area, and some of the surrounding cottages are listed. We work carefully around original doors, floors and flint walls and keep the van off the Green itself.
Homes in Southwick
Southwick's older properties are grouped around the Green and the streets leading off it, with cottages and period houses that have narrow hallways and tight staircases. Moving away from the centre, the roads towards Southwick Hill and the Downs are lined with 1930s semis and detached houses, many with garages and generous gardens. Fishersgate and the streets near the harbour have terraces and more recent housing.

Specialist services
Specialist demolition & dismantling services in Southwick
As part of our demolition & dismantling service in Southwick, 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 Southwick works
Southwick is around seven and a half miles east of our Worthing base, roughly twenty minutes along the A259 or A27. Here is how a typical demolition & dismantling job in Southwick 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 Southwick
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 Southwick 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.
Southwick is part of Adur district, so bins, bulky waste collections and garden waste bins are handled by Adur & Worthing Councils. The council service suits a single item; we are the better fit when there is a lot to clear, or when it all needs carrying out of the house.

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!

Yes. We dismantle and remove sheds, summerhouses and greenhouses across Southwick, along with their contents if needed.
Do you remove concrete shed bases in Southwick?
Yes. We break up and remove bases and patios and take the rubble for recycling.
Can you take down a wall in a Southwick conservation area?
Low garden walls can be removed, but in a conservation area, check with the local planning authority first, as some walls are protected.
Do you cover Fishersgate and Kingston Buci?
Yes. We cover the whole of Southwick, including Fishersgate, Kingston Buci, Eastbrook and the roads up towards Southwick Hill.
Can you clear a steep garden on the hillside roads?
Yes. Steep and stepped gardens take a little longer because everything is carried by hand, and we factor that into the price. Photos of the garden and the route to the road help us quote accurately.
Do you do structural demolition?
No. We focus on non-structural and garden structures. We will tell you if your job needs a specialist.
Can you remove a shed and its contents?
Yes, in one visit.
Can you remove the concrete base?
Yes. We can break up and remove shed and patio bases.
WhatsApp a few pictures of what needs to go and the route to the road. We reply with a clear, fixed quote, usually the same working day, and collections are often possible within a day or two.
