Here is what our garden clearance work around South Ockendon looks like in practice.

Garden Clearance in South Ockendon: what actually matters here
A Thurrock town north of the A13, expanded by London overspill housing and now bordered by the large Belhus Woods country park.
The housing stock is 1960s–70s overspill estates and maisonettes, with modern infill around Aveley and Stifford Clays, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a garden clearance job.
Overspill estates put parking in shared rear courts with height barriers, so we survey before sending a Luton. Thurrock runs its own recycling scheme separately from Essex County Council.
A garden clearance in South Ockendon is planned around where the van can stand and how far the crew carries — those two things move the price more than the address does.
South Ockendon is quoted as a whole: South Ockendon, Aveley and Belhus are on the same garden clearance rate as anywhere else inside RM15.
Our Essex clearance & disposal teams cover South Ockendon, grays, tilbury and stanford-le-hope-and-corringham and the villages between them, so travel time is short and the diary is flexible.
As a smaller town built around Belhus Woods Country Park, South Ockendon has a mix of approach roads and loading points, so we confirm parking and carry distance when you book rather than assuming.
Stifford Clays, North Stifford, Bulphan and Kenningtons are covered on the same visit pattern, and we quote them from the same garden clearance price list.
We do not treat a South Ockendon–basildon and brentwood garden clearance as long distance; it stays on the local round and on the local price list.
When you enquire, the South Ockendon postcode is the first thing we ask for — RM15 addresses differ enough street to street that we would rather check than assume.
Routing for South Ockendon is held area by area — South Ockendon (RM15), Aveley (RM15) and Belhus (RM15) — so a garden clearance slot is timed against the real approach, not a town-centre average.
We treat South Ockendon as 8 separate approaches (South Ockendon through Dilkes) on one garden clearance price list.
The team working South Ockendon starts its day locally, so an early garden clearance slot here does not depend on traffic in from another county.
What a garden clearance job includes
Garden clearance is the removal of green waste and everything else a garden accumulates: prunings, hedge cuttings, turf, soil, old decking and fence panels, broken furniture, pots, a collapsed shed. Green waste from £95 covers cutting, bagging and removal, and where the load is mixed it is priced by the volume of the van you actually fill, from £110 for a quarter load to £310 for a full load of roughly 12 cubic yards. Everything leaves with a waste transfer note under Environment Agency registration CBDU300454.
Cutting back
- Overgrowth, brambles and shrubs cut back to the line you agree before we start
- Hedges reduced and the arisings removed rather than left in a pile
- Weeds and self-seeded growth cleared from beds, paths and paving joints
- Turf and topsoil lifted where a bed or a path is being taken out
Hard items
- Old fence panels, posts, trellis and rotten decking removed
- Sheds and greenhouses dismantled and taken away where they are safe to break down
- Broken garden furniture, pots, planters, play equipment and trampolines
- Rubble, hardcore and spoil segregated as its own waste stream
Loading and disposal
- Full crew carry — nothing left for you to drag to the front
- Access route protected and the path or drive swept afterwards
- Green waste taken to a composting route and hard waste segregated at a licensed transfer station
- Waste transfer note issued in your name, usually the same day
What changes the price on a garden clearance job
- Nesting birds are protected by law between March and August, and we will not cut a hedge that is in active use. If we find a nest we stop that section and tell you.
- Asbestos — common in old shed and garage roofing — fuel, gas bottles and chemicals are outside our licence. If we suspect it, we stop, tell you and point you to a licensed contractor rather than loading it.
- Green waste is bulky and light, so a garden that looks like a small job can fill a van quickly. Photos of the whole garden — not just the worst corner — get you a firm price instead of a range.
- Access decides the labour. A garden reached only through the house, or up a shared alley, is a longer carry than one with side or rear vehicle access, and we ask which yours is at quote stage.
- Soil, rubble and hardcore are heavy waste charged as their own stream, because the transfer station charges by weight rather than volume. Mixing them into a green-waste price would be a price that changed on the day.

About South Ockendon
South Ockendon is an RM15 Thurrock town shaped by London overspill: 1960s and 70s estate housing and maisonettes around Belhus and Dilkes, later infill at Stifford Clays and Aveley, and Belhus Woods Country Park on its northern edge. The estate layouts are the practical issue — front doors face pedestrian courts, parking sits in shared rear yards, and several of those yards have height barriers that a Luton will not clear. We check that on the survey rather than discovering it with a loaded van.
Administratively this is Thurrock, not Essex County Council, so the county's tip booking and van permit system does not apply and the borough runs its own. Clearances we run leave under our upper-tier waste carrier licence with a transfer note issued to you, which sidesteps the question entirely. Jobs crossing the Thames pay the Dartford Crossing charge, quoted before the booking. Crews here also cover Grays, Tilbury and the Aveley side of the borough without a travel uplift.
Other clearance & disposal services in South Ockendon
South Ockendon questions, answered.
How much does garden clearance cost in South Ockendon?
Garden Clearance in South Ockendon (RM15) starts from £95. The final figure is fixed before booking and reflects the size of the property, the floor level and the access — which in South Ockendon usually means overspill estates put parking in shared rear courts with height barriers, so we survey before sending a Luton. Thurrock runs its own recycling scheme separately from Essex County Council.
Do you cover the whole of South Ockendon?
Yes — every RM15 street, plus the surrounding Essex towns. Crews are routed within the county rather than dispatched from London, so short-notice slots are realistic.
Are you insured for garden clearance work?
We carry £1m public liability cover and hold Environment Agency waste carrier licence CBDU300454. Certificates are available on request and the details are published on our trust and credentials page.
How quickly can you book garden clearance in South Ockendon?
Same-week slots are standard in South Ockendon, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Essex, so book those a week or two ahead.
How is a garden clearance priced?
Green waste starts from £95 for cut, bagged and removed. Mixed loads are priced by the volume of the van you fill — £110 a quarter, £180 a half, £310 full — with all labour, sweeping and tip fees included, so you are never charged for space you do not use.
Do you do the cutting as well as the taking away?
Yes. Cutting back, dismantling and lifting is part of the job — you do not need to have piled it up first. If it is already bagged, say so and the price reflects the shorter labour.
Where does the green waste go?
Green waste goes to a composting route and hard waste is segregated at a licensed transfer station, with over 90% of what we collect kept out of landfill. You get the waste transfer note either way, which is your legal record of where it went.
