Shed removal

Shed removal in Worthing and across Sussex

We take down your old shed, clear its contents and remove every panel, leaving the space ready for a new one.

Timber sheds do not last forever. After a few years of Sussex wind and rain, roofs leak, floors rot and doors stop closing. Replacing a shed starts with getting the old one out, and that is what we do.

We empty the shed if needed, dismantle it panel by panel, remove the roof felt and any glass, and take everything away. If you want the concrete or slab base removed too, we can break it up and clear it.

Such an amazing company! Communication was brilliant, the clean up was outstanding. Took everything little bit, was very pleased with the results. Also managed to fit me in very quickly which was a bonus! Will be using them again for sure! Thanks again guys.

Shed contents

Most sheds are full of tools, pots, bikes, garden furniture and half-used tins. We clear the contents first, setting aside anything you want to keep, then take down the structure.

Garden chemicals, fuel and liquid paint need specialist disposal, so tell us if there are any.

Advice

Replacing an old shed

If a new shed is on order, time the removal of the old one for a few days before delivery so the base can be checked and levelled. Many timber bases are rotten after years of damp, and concrete or slab bases sometimes need breaking up and relaying. We can remove whatever is not needed.

Suppliers usually need clear access to the site on delivery day, so we can also clear the path and any clutter nearby at the same time.

Good to know

Metal sheds and asbestos roofs

We also remove metal and plastic sheds. Very old sheds and garages with corrugated cement roof sheets may contain asbestos, which we cannot handle. If you are unsure, get it checked first.

Timber is recycled where possible, and metal is sent for scrap recycling.

Overgrown garden clearance

When a garden has been left for a season or more, we can cut back overgrowth, clear brambles and nettles, strim long grass and remove the resulting waste, along with any rubbish that has been hidden in the undergrowth. It is a common job for new homeowners and for families clearing a relative's property.

We will talk to you about what should stay, such as mature shrubs, trees or features, and work around them. The aim is to leave a clear, workable garden you or your gardener can take forward.

How it works

Four simple steps from first message to a clear space.

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

We quote every job individually, usually from photos. The main factors are:

Amount of green waste

Measured by volume, based on your photos.

Heavy materials

Soil, turf, rubble and paving are heavy and cost more to dispose of.

Structures

Sheds, greenhouses and decking need dismantling time.

Access

A long carry or a route through the house takes longer.

Cutting back

If we are clearing overgrowth rather than just removing waste, labour time increases.

How to prepare

  • Point out any plants, shrubs or features you want to keep.
  • Tell us how we get into the garden: side gate, back lane or through the house.
  • If waste has to come through the house, we will protect floors, so let us know.
  • Mention anything heavy, such as soil, turf or paving, when you send photos.
  • Check old sheds and garages for cement roof sheets and tell us if you are unsure.
  • Move cars from the drive if we need to park close to the garden.

Responsible disposal

Where your waste goes

Green waste goes to licensed composting facilities. Timber, metal and glass are separated for recycling where possible, rubble and soil go to inert waste facilities, and the remainder is taken to licensed transfer stations.

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.

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!

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.

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.
