    We have a wooden shed in our garden and for the past few years it's become leaky and grimy. It's also dangerous - bits of the sides have broken off, and we think a fox might be living in it. We haven't actually used it in years because of this. I'm not particularly strong and my parents are both old. How do we get it dismantled and thrown away? Who do we call?

    If its as bad as state it is , i wouldn't think you need to be too strong to knock it down . What i would do if i were you,as it seem to me you don't want to go to the bother yourself of doing the work . Go and get some teenage neighbor or a friends son and pay him to knock it down and cut it up small so you can burn it . You get your job done , He has some spending money . So all winners except the poor fox which you just made homeless :) bad bad man :) Or should i say bad bad person :) as you may be a girl .

    hit the local shops, look for ads that say "man with a van" or "labourer for hire". youll get a quote for knocking down and removing. Not much more than 100e should do it I would have thought.

    I wouldnt hire a young teenager for this without adult supervision. Possible he'll try and knock it down from the inside, roof will fall on top of his head, you get a claim against you, now you have to rebuild the shed to live in it.

    unlesss the people involved have their own full and comprehensive insurance any accident on your property and you are liable for that person and their injuries . so be carefull who you hire

    Put an ad on adverts or similar and put up a few snaps.
    "Free shed to take away for firewood" or similar.

    well its better for the op to know things like this in advance than possibly have a solicitors letter comming through the door if a worker had an accident on his land and didnt have their own work and public liability insurance .
