Shed demolition/dismantlement

Can anyone recommend someone to demolish or dismantle a largish garden shed?

I can demolish a shed. I can't take it away afterwards though which is probably what you really need.

Steve would it be worthwhile ringing up any of these "handyman" or "handy husband" type outfits who will turn their hands to anything?? I haven't used one myself as I have my neighbour to help us, but "Hire a hubby" and other such might be able to help and you would get a quote for the work and taking away the shed too I guess??[:D]

Guy Fawkes Night is rapidly approaching, so the shed (preferably dismantled) would make a grand bonfire - save the effort of removing it!

Thats a good idea .. there must be local Rotary Club or school or Scouts organising Bonfire night stuff wanting firewood???? Steve.. we could pop an effigy on the top too.. Who would I pick??? [:D]

You could try freegle, there may be someone on there willing to dismantle it and take it away for a charity or group etc.............either to re erect if its good enough or as others have said for Guy Fawkes!

My son and stepson! They completely demolished my shed, luckily we had asked them to. You need to find some teenagers and let them loose, they will have a great time. However don't expect it to be tidied up afterwards!

I concur. I wouldn't dismantle a shed but demolish it and probably enjoy every second.

If you're not in a rush I can recommend the "eco" approach. We moved into our house 15 years ago and roof felt blew off the shed in the first week. I fitted the new felt so badly it blew off again a week later. Since then I have completely neglected the edifice and it will go now with just a gentle push in any direction. I do love the concept/word "dismantlement" though and will be using it far more from now on! [:)]

Harts Handyman Services did mine. Really excellent job. . The owners name is Melvin Hart and he's a really good bloke based in Queens Road. Does loads of different things including dismantling and removing sheds!

Would you consider contacting "Mudlarks"? They may have a positive use for it. I'm afraid that I don't have any contact details for them, but I guess you might have!

It's probably a bit old and run down for them, but thanks for the suggestion.
