Sheds are useful structures for the storage of tools, garden equipment, and other items that can’t be stored in the house. However, sometimes it becomes necessary to perform a complete shed cleanout or even remove the structure entirely, which can be a messy and arduous chore when you don’t have help.
This is why Red Rabbit Rubbish Removal offers the valuable service of shed removal in Melbourne. Not only does our service make shed removal faster and more efficient, but it also ensures the job is done safely.
In this article, we’ll take a look at a successful shed demolition and removal case where we helped a family deal with their unwanted shed.
Common Reasons for Shed Removal
Before we delve into the specific case at hand, let’s take a look at some of the main reasons why shed removal is often needed.
Reason 1: Safety Concerns
If a shed is decrepit and falling apart, it can pose a safety issue, particularly if you have children. Rusty nails, loose boards, rampant mould, and sharp and dangerous objects stored inside could create unnecessary health and injury risks.
Reason 2: Free Up Backyard Space
An old shed could be taking up valuable real estate in your backyard, which you might have other, better uses for. Perhaps you would rather use the space to plant an herb garden, install a hot tub, or merely expand your yard to accommodate more family activities.
Reason 3: To Replace the Shed With A New Shed
If the shed is getting old and falling apart, you might want it removed to make way for a newer, safer shed. An old shed doesn’t just pose safety risks; it could also be an eyesore. Replacing it with a new one could revitalise the way your backyard looks.
Reason 4: Pest Control
Old sheds filled with junk are common pest magnets, from spiders to termites to rats. Sheds provide dark, safe spaces for critters to hide and breed unchecked, especially if you don’t venture into the shed much or spring clean it very often.
Reason 5: Preparing for Sale or Rental
Sometimes, removing an old and run-down shed is the best way to improve the attractiveness of a property for sale or rental purposes. Shed removal can beautify your yard, create more space, and make the space more kid-friendly, thus helping you attract more interest in the property.
Recent Shed Removal for A Family in Northcote
Recently, a Greek family in Northcote needed their unstable shed cleared out and removed to prepare for new tenants who were going to be occupying the property soon. The shed was old and unsafe, not to mention filled with all sorts of junk, which created clutter, attracted pests, and spoiled the aesthetics of the backyard.
The family called on Red Rabbit Rubbish Removal to take care of the problem for them since they knew that we would reliably be able to remove the shed and its contents quickly and safely, leaving them with a pristine, cleared space in their backyard to do with as they pleased.
The Challenges
One of the challenges that we faced was that the shed was positioned along a shared boundary with neighbours. As such, removing the shed could potentially create problems with the stability of the boundary wall. It was, therefore, important to ensure the shed removal did not unduly affect the neighbours.
Another problem we encountered was that the shed was filled to the brim with a wide array of rubbish and other contents, all of which would need to be removed before we could effectively remove the shed structure itself.
To make matters even more complicated, the shed wasn’t easily accessible from the road, owing to the fact that it was located in the backyard of the property.
Our Approach
To solve the challenges and ensure a smooth shed removal process, we first made sure to liaise with the neighbours regarding the project so that they could be alerted to any issues with the shared boundary wall and could take precautionary measures to help us prevent any property damage.
Thankfully, this turned out not to be a problem, as we were able to successfully carry out the shed demolition and removal project without affecting the shared property at all.
When it came to the shed cleanout, our significant experience and expertise in rubbish removal paid off in spades. We were able to quickly and effectively remove the junk and other goods from the shed, despite the difficulty in accessing it from the road. Once we had done this, we were then able to sort the junk for either disposal or recycling, thus ensuring a responsible clearout process.
Once that was done, we safely and efficiently dismantled the shed before removing it entirely from the property.
Although there were some challenges with the project, we were able to complete the entire shed removal in only 2.5 days. The family now has a clear backyard that they can transform however they see fit, making it an ideal space for new tenants to enjoy safely
