What a shed clearance involves
You open the door, we do the rest. The crew empties the shed into keep, reuse, recycle and waste as they go, carries everything out through the side passage or the house to the van, and sweeps the floor. If the shed is coming down, it is dismantled last and loaded in sections.

What usually comes out of a Dublin shed
- Lawnmowers, strimmers and hedge trimmers. Please empty any fuel first; petrol cans and their contents stay with you.
- Hand tools, power tools, workbenches and shelving.
- Bikes, scooters, prams and buggies, paddling pools and garden toys.
- Garden furniture, umbrellas, barbecues and gas-fired patio heaters (cylinders stay with you).
- Pots, compost bags, fencing panels, timber offcuts, roofing felt and old doors.
- Paint tins, part-used and empty, and the odd tin of creosote that should go to the recycling centre instead.
- The furniture that was “going to the shed for now” ten years ago.
Shed removal: taking the shed down
Timber sheds are unscrewed or cut into panels; metal sheds are unbolted; plastic sheds come apart by hand. We remove the roof first, then the walls, then the base if it is timber. A concrete base stays unless you ask for it to be broken out, which is a job for a skip or a builder’s waste service rather than a van.
If the roof is old corrugated sheeting that may contain asbestos, we will tell you and it has to go to a licensed contractor. We do not disturb it.
Shed, garage and attic in one visit
Most people who book a shed clearance have a garage or an attic in the same state. Doing them on one visit is cheaper than three trips because the crew and van are already there. Send photos of everything you want gone and we will quote the lot.
What happens to the contents
Working tools, bikes and usable garden furniture are kept aside for reuse or resale where we can arrange it. Metal goes for scrap recycling, timber and cardboard are separated, and the rest goes to a licensed waste transfer station under our Waste Collection Permit. See what happens to your items after a clearance for the longer version.
Before we arrive
Pull out anything you want to keep, take gas cylinders and chemicals out of the shed, and let us know about the side access or whether we will be coming through the house. That is all. Our garage clearance guide covers the sorting approach if you want to do a first pass yourself.
