SK Removals & Clearance · Ayrshire
Sheds, garages, outbuildings, internal walls, kitchens and bathrooms taken down safely and cleared in one go — no separate skip, no separate trip, no surprise extras.
Fully insured demolition · Licensed waste disposal · Site left tidy
Overview
Non-structural and small-structure demolition: garden sheds, outbuildings, single-skin brick garages, internal stud walls, kitchen and bathroom strip-outs, conservatory removal and small concrete bases. Always paired with full clearance and licensed disposal in the same job.
Homeowners renovating, landlords prepping for refit, builders sub-contracting strip-out work, property developers between purchase and works starting, and anyone with a derelict outbuilding that needs to go.
Before a new build (garage, extension, replacement shed), during a kitchen or bathroom refit, before a loft or garage conversion, when an outbuilding is past its life, or when planning permission requires removal of an existing structure.
Builders often quote demolition + disposal as separate line items, then mark up the skip. A combined demolition-and-clearance crew on the same day saves money and removes the coordination headache between trades.

Common mistakes
Our process
Same process every job — from your first call to the final tidy-up.
We visit (or review your photos) and, once we've seen the job in person, give you a clear, written, fixed-price quote — no hourly clock, no surprise disposal fees. Once it's in writing, the price won't change.
Visual inspection for regulated materials, gas/electric/water service routes, party-wall touches and overhead cables. Anything notifiable is flagged and referred to the relevant specialist contractor before we proceed.
Gas, water and electricity isolated at supply — electrical and gas isolation arranged via a registered tradesperson where required. Glass, ceramics and brittle items removed first. PPE and dust suppression set up.
Structure brought down section by section — no swing-ball, no surprises for neighbours. Materials sorted at point of breakdown — brick to crushed-aggregate recycling, timber to biomass, metal to scrap.
Doors locked, keys returned, property left tidy. Where a property is being resold or re-let we can arrange cleaners to come in. SEPA waste transfer note available on request.
Benefits
No 'plus skip', no 'plus disposal' — one fixed price for the whole job.
Brick crushed, timber to biomass, metal to scrap — we recycle as much as possible and send as little as we can to landfill.
No swing-ball, no dust clouds, no early-morning hammering. Quiet hand-demolition where the structure permits.
Most light-demolition jobs slotted within 5–7 working days. Site left tidy and ready for the next trade.
We're fully insured against accidental damage to your house, fences, neighbour boundaries and drives.
We identify any regulated materials on the pre-survey and refer to the correct specialist contractor before continuing — keeping your job compliant and on-budget.
In detail
Garden sheds, timber outbuildings, single-skin brick stores, prefab concrete garages and old greenhouses. Foundations broken out (optional) or left intact for re-use. Site left tidy and ready for new build, lawn or paving.
uPVC and aluminium conservatories dismantled, glass safely stacked for recycling, base broken out if required, and the existing house wall made good (weather-tight) ready for the next stage of works. Coordination with a local builder for permanent wall reinstatement available.
Kitchen rip-outs (units, worktops, appliances, tiles), bathroom strip-outs (suite, tiles, flooring, partition walls), and removal of internal stud walls (subject to engineer sign-off on anything load-bearing — we don't take down structural walls without it). Common pre-refit job, often turned around in one day.
Pre-2000 garages, sheds and outbuildings sometimes contain regulated cement-based materials in roof sheets, downpipes or soffits. We identify these on the pre-survey, refer to the correct licensed specialist for removal, and return to finish the demolition and clearance once they've issued their clearance certificate.
We don't take down load-bearing walls without a structural engineer's calculation and sign-off (gable walls, supporting walls, chimney breasts). We don't carry out full-house demolition (planning, party-wall and method statements push this into a different licensing tier). On larger or developer jobs we coordinate with the principal contractor under CDM 2015.
FAQ
Still unsure? Scott picks up the phone himself — most quotes returned within 24 hours.
07480 164649Garden shed dismantle and clear: £160–£300. Single-skin brick garage demolition + clear: £900–£1,800. Conservatory removal: £700–£1,400. Kitchen strip-out: £350–£700. Bathroom strip-out: £300–£600. All fixed-quote.
Yes — single-skin or double-skin, prefab concrete or block-built. Roof type matters: if it's a regulated cement-based sheet (common pre-2000), it needs a licensed specialist contractor to remove that element first.
Most outbuildings, sheds and conservatories: no. Larger garages, anything attached to a listed building, or anything in a conservation area: check with local planning first. We can advise but won't proceed if there's a planning question — protecting you.
If we identify any regulated materials on the pre-survey we stop, refer to the correct licensed specialist, and return to finish the demolition and clearance once their work is complete.
Non-load-bearing stud walls: yes. Load-bearing walls (anything carrying floor or roof load): only with a structural engineer's calculation and sign-off, and usually with a builder fitting the steel/beam — we coordinate this.
Shed: half a day. Conservatory: 1 day. Brick garage: 1–2 days. Internal strip-out: 1 day. Fixed in writing on your quote.
We use protection boards on lawns and drives where vans and skips are loaded. Fully insured for accidental damage — but we've never paid a claim on driveway damage in 14+ years.
Always — that's the point of combining demolition with clearance. No separate skip. Brick crushed and recycled for aggregate, metal to scrap, timber to biomass.
Most light-demolition jobs slotted within 5–7 working days. Urgent jobs (insurance, sale, planning deadline) prioritised.
