Wood waste clearance for timber, fencing, decking and pallets

Wood waste builds up on almost every job. Old fence panels, decking boards, pallets, doors, skirting, joists, kitchen units and offcuts from a refit all take up room, and long lengths are awkward to move in a car. Our wood waste clearance collects it from homes, gardens, building sites and business premises. The team carries it out, cuts down or dismantles long and bulky pieces where needed, and loads the van.

Wood is sorted after collection according to what has been done to it. Clean, untreated timber such as pallets and offcuts is the easiest to recycle. Painted, varnished and laminated wood, chipboard and MDF follow a different route. Timber treated with preservatives, such as some fence posts and railway sleepers, has to be handled separately. You do not need to sort any of it yourself. Our guide to what happens to rubbish after collection covers the process.

A lot of timber arrives as part of something bigger. If the wood is a standing shed, summerhouse or playhouse, our shed removal service takes it down and clears it away. Wardrobes, tables and bed frames come under furniture removal. On refurbishments, joists, studwork and old doors usually leave alongside rubble and plasterboard as builders waste clearance, and it can all be collected in one visit.

Nails, screws, hinges and brackets can stay in. You do not need to de-nail boards or strip fittings, though it helps to stack lengths together with the sharp ends facing one way. To get a price, send a photo of the pile on WhatsApp to 07935 554 253 and mention anything unusually long or heavy. The quote is free, the price is confirmed before loading, and we collect the same day or the next wherever possible.

How our wood waste clearance works

  1. Photo of the timber

    Send a picture on WhatsApp to 07935 554 253. Say if anything is still standing, such as a fence or decking, and needs taking down.

  2. Price confirmed

    We size the load, allow for any dismantling and give you a clear price before work starts.

  3. Dismantled and stacked

    Panels are lifted out, decking is taken up, long lengths are cut down and everything is stacked flat in the van.

  4. Sorted by grade

    At a licensed facility the wood is separated into clean, coated and treated timber for recycling or energy recovery.

Clean, coated and treated timber, where each one goes

Clean wood, meaning timber with no paint, glue or preservative, is chipped and commonly turned into panel board, animal bedding or landscaping products. Coated and manufactured wood, such as painted doors, laminate, chipboard and MDF, is usually chipped for board manufacture or burned as biomass fuel to generate energy. The sorting happens at the facility, so a mixed load is not a problem. Around 90% of everything we collect is recycled.

Treated timber is the one to watch. Wood that has been pressure treated or coated with creosote, including old railway sleepers, telegraph poles and some fence posts, should not be burned at home or chipped for garden use, and it goes down a separate route. If you know or suspect that some of your wood is treated, say so when you send the photo. The builders waste disposal guide has more on separating materials on site.

Wood waste clearance FAQs

Do I need to remove nails and screws from the wood?

No. Leave the fixings in. Metal is taken out mechanically when the timber is processed, usually with magnets after chipping. For safety while we load, it helps if boards with exposed nails are stacked together and not scattered across the garden.

Can you take down a fence or decking as well as removing it?

Yes. Dismantling is done where it is needed. Panels are lifted out, boards are unscrewed or levered up and the frame is cut into manageable lengths. Concrete posts and footings are heavier work, so mention them when you ask for a price. They are dealt with as hardcore waste removal.

Will you collect railway sleepers and treated fence posts?

Show us a photo before booking. Sleepers are very heavy and older ones were often treated with creosote, so they need a particular disposal route. Once we have seen what you have and how many there are, we will tell you what we can do and give you a price.

Do you take branches, logs and tree cuttings as wood waste?

Green waste from pruning and felling is a different material from timber and is usually composted, so it comes under garden clearance. If you have both, such as an old fence and the hedge cuttings behind it, they can be collected on the same visit.

Can you collect broken pallets from a business?

Yes. Broken and unwanted pallets are collected from yards, loading bays and shop units, as a one-off or as often as they build up. A waste transfer note is provided. If the pallets belong to a hire pool, check with the supplier first, as they may want them back.

Is MDF and chipboard treated differently from solid wood?

Yes, at the sorting stage. Manufactured boards contain resins and are often laminated, so they are graded separately from clean solid timber. You do not have to separate them yourself. Old kitchen units, shelving and flat-pack panels can all go on the van with the other wood.
