Moving a shed

[Still Farming]

Plus rubbish sheets, rotten timbers or a z purlins, screws,bolts , plus £130 meter concrete new shed footings, digging site etc and movement costs etc etc etc

Oh forgot,
360 with breaker for day to break out posts, £500

You can’t cost in concrete, footings, digging site,
As that is same cost as a new building,

Chap buying it or putting up has too wether new or old.
Maybe he will just unbolt I'd portal building and just set new and save that work and costs.

What would the approximate cost be to dismantle a 120x60x15 shed? And then an erection cost please. I have heard of one locally that needs to be moved due to development and I have just the place for it. Thanks

Down and back up 10k. I'd guess
There are good deals on new kits. Far easier to put up. If they had to get it removed by a licenced asbestos demolition I'd guess 10k to take down.
You would be aswell buying it dismantled see what the sheets look like after that.

Cement fibre Chrysotile is unlicensed work,

Without seeing pictures,
I’d have thought value of shed, to be £15k / £18k ish dismantled,

One of dad's friends bought a buiding not much more than a couple of miles away, it had been used by one of the supermarkets for making meat pies.

Not enough room for expansion so they found another site close by, for whatever reason the site had to be cleared, the building was two storeys, didn't need all the height, so instead of digging out Graham cut the steel work at ground level.

It was less than 10 years from being built, but a fair bit of the cladding seemed to get damaged on removal.

End of the day Graham said he'd never do anything like that again, didn't save very much over a new building, labour cost of dismantling and machine hire was the biggest problem, and it took a lot longer than they'd bargained for.

It seems like it will only by worth bothering if I can get it for next to nothing or fairly cheap.
I remember only a few years ago a neighbour bought a shed at a farm sale and from memory seemed a good buy. When I asked him how it had gone he said “never again “. I do however have a friend who has built his whole farm yard with second hand moved sheds but he rarely paid much for them.

It’s funny I have no problems selling dismantled secondhand buildings,

I bought a 120’ x 120’ for £5k in 2008,no sheets and dismantled on the floor,only 15 miles away so I brought the legs and purlins back with the tractor and paid a haulier to move the rafters.erected ourselves so worked out a cheap shed.

Do they all get put back up again, seen a few lying around the back of farmers sheds all grown over. Not as easy as they think to get them up again. New ones too I a cheap deal then never put it up.

 

[grainboy]

Don’t know, I only dismantle,
Yes new ones look cheap, but steel quality on some is questionable,

 

[Tom8400]

The worst bit Is the roof, regardless of what it is the sheets are heavy. Although I'm sure a cherry picker or scissor changes that.

Around here you don't get chance of them, site safety etc they chop them all down and stick them in bins you could offer double new price answer would still be no sadly. Such a waste because the frames are often better

Ours from @grainboy currently is (whenever it stops bloody raining)

Good access all around and flat. Only clad to eaves on each end. Basically a straw shed. I haven’t approached the owner yet but wanted some facts before I did. Unless it’s cheap sometimes there isn’t much savings I’m guessing.

Has to be free if standing

 

[glasshouse]

We had a 55 x 110 moved on farm in 2020, cost us £4,500. Plus concrete for new pads

Please expand on that?

 

[bluebell]

Your right, same as back about 20 odd years ago, there was a nursery,garden centre, that had been sold for development, had a near new high spect glasshouse, complete with heating, shading, about 100x60, i had a look, could have done with it, but as said, it was the taking down, dismantling, transporting and reerecting, we had a good look, and left it, later on heard that the developer who had bought the site, just pulled it all down and binned it a shame but thats how it is?

 

[Free range Rob]

It can be done, I have done it, several times, but, unless your getting the building in a standing state for next to nowt, it’s not cheap, what you will likely get though (depending on age) is a much better quality building than these cheap offers you see on new buildings now.

I’ve put a couple of those up and quite frankly, I don’t know about questionable, they were pretty crap ……
Bottom line is, either bid it for next to nothing, or get them to have it dismantled, once it’s down carefully and on the floor it’s got a fairly decent value.

if you fire some pics over I can put some figures on it for you if you want
