Shed contents moved systematically so you can find your tools again. Everything boxed sensibly, transported safely, unpacked into your new shed.
Sheds Are Basically Junk Magnets
You think you're just moving some garden tools. Then you open the shed door and there's fifteen years of accumulated screws, broken flowerpots, and mysterious bits of wood that might be important.
💡 Pro tip: A house move is the perfect time to actually sort out what's in your shed. You'll be amazed what you never use.
Why This Needs Organizing
| ✅ Done Systematically | ❌ Panic Chuck Everything In Boxes |
|---|---|
| Small parts kept together | Jar of screws spills in the van |
| Tools protected from damage | Everything thrown loose in boxes |
| Labeled boxes you can unpack sensibly | 20 boxes all saying "shed" |
| Actual clear-out happens | Move the junk to a new shed |

🔧 DIY Tips
Moving shed contents yourself? Here's how to make it less painful:
🔧 What you need
- Sturdy boxes (not too big or they get too heavy)
- Permanent markers for labels
- Bubble wrap for anything fragile
- Clear bags for small parts (sandwich bags work great)
- Someone to help carry
📋 Systematic approach
- Empty completely - yes, even the back corner you haven't looked at since 2015
- Sort as you go - keep/tip/charity pile
- Box by category - all tools together, all garden stuff together
- Label VERY specifically - "hand tools" not just "shed"
- Small parts in bags - jars of screws/nails in sealed bags inside boxes
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Overfilling boxes (they break or you can't lift them)
- Not labeling (total chaos unpacking)
- Moving everything including broken junk
- Forgetting to measure new shed (might be smaller)
💡 Pro trick: Take photos of how things were organized before you pack. Then you've got a reference for setting up the new shed. Also makes you realize how chaotic it actually was.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🏡 Downsizing? New shed smaller than the old one? Perfect time to be ruthless. That broken strimmer you were going to fix three years ago? Bin it.
Including garage or workshop too? Same service works for moving workshop contents, garage tools, or garden storage. Price depends on volume and time.
Temporary storage needed? If there's a gap between leaving the old place and the new shed being ready, I can help with that - boxes stacked in your garage or a storage unit temporarily.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just chuck it all in boxes myself?
You absolutely can, but sheds accumulate a shocking amount of small stuff - screws, nails, half-empty paint tins, tools everywhere. I'll box it systematically so you can actually find things again at the other end, rather than having 15 identical boxes labeled 'shed stuff.'
What about hazardous stuff like petrol and paint?
I can't transport petrol, oil, or aerosols in my van legally - that's on you to handle separately. Paint tins are fine if they're sealed. Anything dodgy, I'll flag it and you can sort it separately.
Do you reorganize it in the new shed?
I'll unpack and put things on shelves sensibly - tools together, gardening stuff together, etc. If you want a full workshop reorganization with everything labeled and wall-mounted, that's a different job. But I'll get you functional.
How long does a typical shed take?
Small shed with basic tools, maybe an hour. Fully-loaded workshop with workbench, power tools, and years of accumulated bits? Could be 2-3 hours. I'll need to see what we're dealing with to give you a proper estimate.
What if some of it's just junk?
Perfect time for a clear-out. I can take obvious rubbish to the tip as part of the job. You decide what's coming and what's going - I just need you there to make those calls.
