Demolition & dismantling Worthing
Local demolition & dismantling in Worthing
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 Worthing covers everything from rotten sheds to old decking and garden walls. We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. We work in gardens and homes across Worthing town centre, Broadwater, Tarring, West Tarring and Goring-by-Sea.
We take the structure down, break it up and take every scrap away, recycling timber, metal and rubble where possible, and leave your Worthing garden clear.
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!

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 Worthing: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape demolition & dismantling jobs in Worthing.
Worthing gardens
Goring, Ferring-side streets, Durrington and Findon Valley have some of the most generous gardens on this stretch of coast, and many were laid out with mature hedges, conifers and fruit trees that are now fifty or more years old. That means heavy hedge cuttings, tree limbs, rotten sheds and old greenhouses are common clearance jobs here. Worthing's chalky soil on the downland edge also produces a lot of flint and rubble when beds are dug over.
Coast and seafront
Worthing's seafront has rows of beach huts and a lot of seafront flats. Salt air is hard on timber and metal, so rotten beach huts, rusted garden furniture and corroded barbecues are regular items for us. We have cleared dismantled beach huts from the shingle before, which means working with the tide, the promenade and plenty of passers-by.
Conservation areas and period homes
Several parts of Worthing are conservation areas, including streets around Steyne Gardens, Park Crescent and the old village of West Tarring. If you are clearing a period property there, we take extra care with original features, narrow hallways and boundary walls while we carry things out.
Homes in Worthing
Worthing's housing changes every mile or so. The streets around the town centre and Heene are dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats. Goring, Durrington and Salvington are dominated by 1930s semis and post-war bungalows with long rear gardens, while Offington, Charmandean and Findon Valley have larger detached homes. Knowing the property type lets us quote accurately from photos, because the access from a Heene conversion is a different job to a drive-up bungalow in Goring.

Specialist demolition & dismantling services in Worthing
As part of our demolition & dismantling service in Worthing, 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 Worthing works
We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. Here is how a typical demolition & dismantling job in Worthing 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 Worthing
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 Worthing 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.
Adur & Worthing Councils run a chargeable bulky waste collection and a paid garden waste bin service, and West Sussex County Council runs the household recycling centres. Those are good options for the odd item, but they come with waiting times, item limits and rules on vans and DIY waste. We are the alternative when you want everything gone in one visit, loaded for you, on a day that suits you.

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.

Saw one of there trucks driving through Worthing, called the number today. Sent a picture of what we needed clear. They came back straight away with a price and were able to pick it all up on the same day. Really friendly team and great service. Will definitely be using this company 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.
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.
