Residential demolition
Residential demolition in Worthing and across Sussex
Garden buildings, decking, low walls and non-structural internal features taken down and removed.
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.
Our residential demolition is non-structural. If your project involves structural walls or foundations, you need an engineer and a specialist, and we will tell you if that is the case.
Arranged via WhatsApp, great pricing and all rubbish cleared professionally and efficiently. Staff were friendly and polite. Highly recommended, much cheaper than getting a skip and loading it yourself.

Advice
Garden rooms and extensions
Many light demolition jobs clear the way for something new: a garden office where the old shed stood, a patio where the decking was, or a new kitchen in place of the old one. We take the old structure down and remove the waste so the builders or landscapers can start on a clear site.
Where footings or concrete bases need to come out, we break them up and remove the rubble, which is recycled into aggregate.
Good to know
Inside the home
Old kitchens, bathrooms, fitted wardrobes and non-structural stud walls removed ready for refitting, once services are isolated.
Waste is sorted for recycling.
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.

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterHow it works
Four simple steps from first message to a clear space.
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.
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.
We load and sweep
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
Responsible disposal
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
What affects the price
We quote every job individually, usually from photos. The main factors are:
A small shed versus a large summerhouse.
Timber, glass, brick and concrete have different disposal costs.
Breaking up concrete adds time and weight.
Rear gardens with no side access take longer.
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 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.
Whoever takes your waste, check they are a registered waste carrier. Householders have a legal duty of care, and if waste you paid someone to remove is fly-tipped it can be traced back to you. We are licensed and insured, take every load to authorised facilities, and are always happy to show our credentials.
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.
I chose A Star waste management as I was very pleased with the service provided previously they removed a lot of household rubbish for me quote was very reasonable and affordable nice guys came today for garden waste again good service will definitely use them again highly recommend THANKYOU
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!
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.
