Wanted Someone to take down and remove 2 small garden sheds

[Rowley Reg]

Struggling to find someone who can do this. I'd be willing to help with skip hire. Anyone have a contact for this type of work?

Taking down is easy, removal not so much! We burnt ours, neighbours weren't too impressed mind.

A sabre saw with some of those all purpose blades will cut through wood and nails, making the job much simpler than actually pulling it apart. This sort of thing:

I've usually done it with a hammer - if a shed has got to the "it might as well just go" stage, then it will normally knock apart quite easily. A saw can be useful, if the floor is all in one piece, or if OSB has been used for repairs, for example. A grinder and/or a jemmy can be useful for separating the door hinges, if that become necessary.

Get any glass out first, of course - and beware of it falling on you, if you remove a critical part too early on.

If the sheds are "OK" and just no longer wanted, then you could find that somebody might want them and take them away for you. They are usually dismantlable, with thought and care.

Are they any good? We had some wooden buildings in the garden when we moved here that the previous owners kept goats in. I tried them on eBay not wanting any money but just someone to take them away, ended up with £500 and we would have just skipped them. It might be worth a try with a 99p start.
