That old garden shed standing at the bottom of your Selly Park property – the one you've been walking past for months, doors half-open, filled to the rafters with everything from broken patio furniture to tins of dried-up paint – isn't going to clear itself. And let's be honest: the thought of spending a wet Saturday hiring a van, making multiple trips to the recycling centre, and navigating the narrow residential roads around Heeley and Dogpool is enough to push that task further down the list. Our professional shed clearance service in Selly Park removes the hassle entirely. One call, one fixed price, and a two-person uniformed team arrives to lift, load, sweep clean, and handle every bit of disposal responsibly – often on the very same day you contact us.
What's Included When We Clear Your Shed in Selly Park
This isn't a man-and-van operation where you do the heavy lifting. Our licensed waste carrier service means you get a complete solution:
- Two-person uniformed crew who handle all labour, loading, and careful dismantling if your shed structure itself needs removing
- All equipment provided – protective coverings, trolleys, and tools to navigate tight side passages or gates common in Victorian-terrace gardens
- Sweep-clean finish so your reclaimed space is left tidy, not littered with nails, splinters, or forgotten rubbish
- Waste transfer note and duty of care documentation issued on the spot, proving legal disposal and protecting you from fly-tipping liability
- Recycling-first approach – up to 90% of collected materials diverted from landfill, with reusable items donated to local charities wherever possible
We take garden furniture, lawnmowers, bicycles, old tools, shelving, white goods, mattresses stored in sheds, household junk, builders' waste from recent renovations, and bulk household items. We cannot remove hazardous substances: asbestos sheeting, gas bottles, industrial chemicals, batteries, or oil tanks. If you're unsure, a quick phone call to 07751 979473 clarifies everything before we arrive.
Why Selly Park Residents Choose Us Over Skip Hire
Parking a skip on Heeley Road or Dawlish Road often means applying for a council permit (£30–£60, two-week wait), blocking narrow pavements, and risking neighbour complaints. Then you still face the physical work of filling it yourself – awkward for bulky shed contents like workbenches or sheet materials.
Our wait-and-load model solves these Selly Park-specific headaches. No permit applications. No extended road obstruction. Our team parks briefly, loads efficiently (typically 30–90 minutes depending on volume), and leaves your street clear. For properties along the canal-side terraces or Victorian conversions with restricted rear access, we're experienced in navigating tight gateways and carrying loads through homes when necessary – always with protective coverings on floors and doorways.
You also avoid the "skip gamble" – hiring a size too small and needing a second, or paying for unused capacity. We quote based on actual volume removed, measured by our van or truck load.
How Quickly Can You Clear a Shed in Selly Park?
For straightforward shed clearances – removing contents only, not dismantling the structure – we offer same-day service when you call before midday on weekdays. We provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA) via text an hour before, respecting your schedule.
If you need the shed structure itself removed, or you're clearing a large workshop filled with heavy machinery, we'll schedule a slightly longer appointment – typically 2–3 hours – and can accommodate evening or weekend slots for working households. Many Selly Park clients book us for Saturday mornings, allowing them to reclaim garden space ready for weekend plans without sacrificing their entire day.
After loading, we issue your waste transfer note immediately, and waste reaches registered recycling centres or Environment Agency–approved facilities within hours. You're legally covered the moment we drive away.
Covering Every Corner of Selly Park and Surrounding Areas
We serve the entire B29 postcode area, including:
- Heeley Road and the canal-side streets – where rear-garden access often means wheeling loads along narrow alleyways
- Selly Park Triangle (around Pershore Road) – mixed residential and student properties with communal bin-storage challenges
- Dogpool and Stirchley borders – larger family homes with substantial garden outbuildings and accumulated DIY materials
- Ten Acres and Bournbrook – properties near the university where seasonal tenant turnovers create clearance demand
One recent job involved a 1930s semi on Tiverton Road where the shed had become a dumping ground during lockdown renovations – paint cans, broken furniture, old carpet offcuts, and a fridge-freezer. The narrow side gate and steep garden made DIY removal almost impossible. Our team cleared the lot in 75 minutes, recycling the metal and wood, safely disposing of WEEE items (the fridge), and leaving the concrete base swept clean for a new summer house.
Where Does Your Shed Waste Actually Go?
As a fully licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency, we're legally required to demonstrate proper disposal – and we go further. Wood and timber from sheds are sent to biomass recycling plants or reclaimed-timber specialists. Metals (tools, hinges, shelving brackets) reach scrap-metal processors. Garden waste goes to composting facilities. White goods follow WEEE disposal regulations, with refrigerants safely extracted.
Usable items – functioning lawnmowers, decent garden furniture, tools in working order – are offered to local community projects and reuse charities before recycling. This isn't marketing spin; it's how we consistently achieve 85–90% landfill diversion rates. Your waste transfer note details the facilities used, giving you full transparency and audit-trail protection should you ever need it (essential for landlords and commercial properties).
Frequently Asked Questions About Shed Clearance in Selly Park
How much does shed clearance cost in Selly Park?
Pricing depends on volume (measured in van or truck loads), labour time, and disposal requirements. A typical single-garage-sized shed clearance – contents only – usually falls into the single-load category. Factors increasing cost include heavy items like machinery, hazardous-waste disposal (which we arrange separately through specialist contractors), or difficult access requiring additional labour. We provide fixed quotes over the phone or via photo assessment, with no hidden fees. The price includes labour, loading, transport, legal disposal, and documentation.
Can you remove the shed structure itself, or just the contents?
Both. If you want the entire shed dismantled and removed, we handle that as part of the service – cutting panels for easier transport, removing fixtures, and clearing the base. We coordinate with you if concrete bases need breaking up (sometimes requiring specialist equipment) or if you're keeping the base for a replacement structure. Contents-only clearances are quicker and typically lower cost, ideal when you're refurbishing or repurposing the shed.
Do I need to be present during the clearance?
Not necessarily. Many Selly Park clients provide access instructions (side-gate codes, key locations) and let us work while they're at the office. We send before-and-after photos via text and post the waste transfer note through your door. However, being present helps if you want to point out items to keep or if there's uncertainty about what should go. For commercial or rental properties, landlords often arrange clearances between tenancies without attending personally.
What happens if you find something unexpected, like asbestos or chemicals?
We stop work on that item immediately and discuss options. Asbestos sheeting (common in pre-1980s sheds) requires licensed asbestos-removal contractors – we can recommend trusted local specialists. Similarly, old paint tins, pesticides, or fuel must go to household waste recycling centres' hazardous-waste sections; we'll advise on the nearest facility (Lifford or Kings Norton) and can transport sealed containers there for an additional fee. Safety and legality always come first; we never risk improper disposal.
How quickly can you respond for same-day clearance?
Call 07751 979473 before noon on weekdays, and we typically arrive the same afternoon, subject to route availability in the B29 area. Weekends and evenings are pre-booked, usually 2–3 days ahead. Emergency clearances – for property sales, urgent safety issues, or pest-control requirements – can sometimes be prioritised; explain your situation when booking, and we'll do our utmost to accommodate.
Are you insured if something gets damaged during clearance?
Yes. We carry full public liability insurance (£5 million cover) and goods-in-transit insurance. Our teams use protective equipment – doorway protectors, floor coverings, trolleys – to prevent damage when carrying items through properties. In the unlikely event of accidental damage, our insurance responds. This is a key difference between professional licensed services and informal "man with a van" operators.
