Friendly, professional and quick service! Tom and Barry were great calling me half an hour before arriving, and observed all social distancing regulations etc, and Richard was very helpful on the phone fitting me in same day. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.
GraceyAbsolutely brilliant! The two lads were quick and efficient with big smiles on their faces, despite the cold. Twenty four hours from the initial enquiry, the job was completed. That’s proper service.
GrahamThey did an excellent job and cleared my Mums flat quickly. I would recommend them to everyone and I would use them again. My mum had recently passed away so it was a difficult time but they were also understanding of the circumstances.
ChristineShed Removal in Lancaster is exactly what you need when an old, rotting outbuilding is taking up valuable space in your garden. However, taking down a wooden structure yourself and navigating Lancaster’s infamous one-way gyratory system with a rented van full of timber is a major headache, especially when the Salt Ayre tip is already overwhelmed with commercial traffic. Instead, we offer a completely hands-off Skip Hire Alternative where our professional teams dismantle your shed, load the heavy timber and glass, and sweep the area completely clean. As a result, your property is left looking immaculate with no stress or mess.
In addition, as a family-run business and an Environment Agency Registered Upper Tier Waste Carrier (Licence CBDU409710), we ensure your garden waste is handled legally and responsibly. Moreover, we are proud to be a Which? Trusted Trader and a Trading Standards Approved “Buy With Confidence” member, giving you total peace of mind that nothing we collect will ever be fly-tipped. Finally, with a 95% landfill diversion rate, we recycle wood, felt, and metal properly. Give our North West head office a call on 0161 339 7938 to arrange a fast, free quote.

Q: Do I need to empty my shed before you arrive?
A: Ideally, yes. However, if it’s still full of items, we can clear out old tools, furniture, and general junk as part of the service before dismantling begins.
Q: Will you damage my garden when removing the shed?
A: No, we take care to minimise disruption. For example, we use controlled dismantling techniques and carry materials carefully to protect lawns, patios, and planting areas.
Q: How long does shed removal take?
A: Typically, most standard sheds are removed within 1–2 hours. Moreover, larger or heavily reinforced structures may take slightly longer depending on access and condition.
Q: Will Lancaster City Council take my DIY or garden waste?
A: In most cases, collections are limited and often exclude construction waste, rubble, and dismantled sheds. The Salt Ayre recycling centre can also be congested and may require van permits, making our service a simpler alternative.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Lancaster?
A: Generally, you only need one if using a traditional skip on a public road. Lancaster City Council requires permits, which can be slow and costly. However, our Wait & Load service requires no permit at all.
