What we take down

Small structures, taken down and taken away

Light demolition covers the lightweight buildings most gardens and yards end up with. We dismantle them, load every piece and leave the ground clear. You do not need a separate waste collection.

Type 01

Sheds

Rotten, leaning or just in the way. Wooden or metal, in a tight garden or a big plot.

Usually made of

  • Timber
  • Roof felt
  • Sheet metal
  • Glass
  • Fixings

Want to keep anything stored inside? Clear it out first, or tell us and we will set it aside.

Type 02

Prefab and lightweight garages

Metal and timber garages that fall within light demolition. We check the build before we quote.

Usually made of

  • Sheet metal
  • Timber
  • Roof sheets
  • Up-and-over door

Older garage roof sheets can contain asbestos. If you are unsure, tell us before booking.

Type 03

Greenhouses

Old frames, cracked panes and polycarbonate panels, dismantled with care and cleared.

Usually made of

  • Glass
  • Polycarbonate
  • Aluminium frame
  • Timber frame

Glass comes out first, so nothing is left to shatter while the frame comes down.

Type 04

Lean-tos and outbuildings

Log stores, lean-tos, bike stores and other lightweight garden buildings.

Usually made of

  • Timber
  • Plastic sheeting
  • Roof felt
  • Mixed debris

Tell us if anything is fixed to a wall of the house, so we can plan around it.

Type 05

Old fencing sections

Blown-down or broken panels and posts taken out and removed with the rest of the job.

Usually made of

  • Fence panels
  • Posts
  • Concrete spurs
  • Gravel boards

Shared fences sit on a boundary, so check with your neighbour before it comes down.

How the job runs

Taken down in a planned order, not pulled over

Weather-worn structures need careful dismantling rather than a rushed job, especially close to fences, drives and neighbouring homes.

  1. Phase 1

    Look it over

    We check the structure, what it is made from, the access and anything nearby that needs protecting.

    • Materials and condition
    • Route out to the van
    • Items you want to keep
  2. Phase 2

    Make it safe

    Glass, loose panels and roof felt come off first, so nothing drops or shatters later.

    • Glazing removed
    • Roof stripped
    • Loose parts cleared
  3. Phase 3

    Take it down in sections

    Walls and frames come apart piece by piece, working carefully in tight Eastbourne gardens.

    • Frame dismantled
    • Panels stacked
    • Neighbours' side protected
  4. Phase 4

    Load, sort and sweep

    We load as we go, sort the waste for disposal and leave a tidy, usable space.

    • Timber, metal and glass sorted
    • Site swept
    • Waste taken away

Damaged or unstable structures are fine. We assess the safest way to take them down before anyone starts work.

    Common in older garage roofs and panels. It needs specialist handling.
