Covering Stockbridge, Craigmillar and Leith, and every Edinburgh postcode. Fence Decking Removal in Edinburgh? Complete fence and decking removal across Edinburgh — from single panels to full garden boundaries and large decking platforms. We dismantle, load and dispose of everything, leaving your garden clear and ready. SEPA registered and fully insured.
Whether your fencing has blown down in a storm, your decking has rotted through, or you need old garden timber cleared before a renovation, our team handles the full job. We pull up decking boards, remove posts and subframes, dig out concrete footings, and take everything away.
Old fencing and decking are among the most common garden headaches in Edinburgh. Timber rots in the Scottish weather, panels blow down in storms, and decking becomes slippery, unsafe and a hiding place for rats and other pests.
Removing fencing and decking yourself means hours of back-breaking work with a crowbar, piles of timber you cannot fit in your car, and concrete posts that weigh a ton. The council will not collect it, and most people do not own the tools needed to do the job properly.
Our back fence blew down and the decking was completely rotten underneath. These guys ripped everything out, removed all the concrete posts and had the garden clear in half a day. Brilliant work.
Whatever your situation, our Edinburgh fence & decking removal team handles it all.

We offer a full range of clearance and removal services across Edinburgh and City of Edinburgh.
A Edinburgh garden job is shaped by the plot and the access to it. Edinburgh is tenements from Leith to Gorgie and Marchmont, Georgian townhouses in the New Town, colony flats, bungalows across the outer suburbs, and student housing everywhere south of the Meadows.
The parts of Edinburgh we know best are Gorgie and Dalry, colony flats and tenements with tight stairs; Portobello, seaside villas and flats; Corstorphine, inter-war bungalows where downsizing clearances are common; Newington, student flats and the September turnover.
Edinburgh's recycling centres are Seafield, Sighthill at Bankhead and Craigmillar; they are car-focused and self-unload. City of Edinburgh Council charges per item for special uplifts; see our Edinburgh uplift guide. Green waste is bulky and a car takes very little of it, so the collection usually wins on price. Our Edinburgh Council Bulky Uplift 2026 — Costs, Wait Times, Tenement Reality has the detail.
What to tell us when you book: Controlled parking zones across the centre, tenement stairs, and the tram works all matter. Mattress and sofa collections are the jobs we do most in Edinburgh.
