What we can show you for West Mersea
Here is what our garden clearance work around West Mersea looks like in practice.
West Mersea access and housing notes
CO5 housing stock and loading reality, written for West Mersea rather than the county.
Garden Clearance in West Mersea: what actually matters here
The main settlement on Mersea Island, reached only by the tidal Strood causeway, with an oyster and sailing economy.
The housing stock is Bungalows and interwar houses on the island grid, with beach-hut and holiday stock along the waterfront, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a garden clearance job.
The Strood floods on spring and surge tides and closes the island completely, so every booking is checked against the published tide table before it is confirmed.
West Mersea garden clearance pricing follows the volume loaded and the carry out of the property, so we ask for photos of the whole space rather than the worst corner.
From West Mersea, East Mersea, The Strood and Coast Road through to the CO5 edges of West Mersea, one price list applies — the address decides the access, not the rate.
Keeping West Mersea, colchester, tiptree and brightlingsea and the surrounding villages on one round is what keeps garden clearance lead times short here.
West Mersea is a smaller town; the streets around The Strood causeway and the West Mersea oyster beds are the ones where we most often check loading arrangements in advance.
Further out, Peldon and Great Wigborough sit inside the same footprint — same crews, same fixed garden clearance pricing.
Plenty of West Mersea jobs involve maldon at the other end; that stays inside the same Essex round and the same quote.
We ask for the full West Mersea address rather than just CO5, because the loading point is what sets the garden clearance time on site.
Our West Mersea coverage is recorded down to West Mersea (CO5), East Mersea (CO5) and The Strood (CO5), which is how we judge access and timing for a garden clearance slot.
The West Mersea sheet lists 6 areas; West Mersea and Great Wigborough sit at opposite ends of it, and the garden clearance price is the same across all of them.
If the West Mersea diary is full on the day you want, the same crew is usually in colchester or tiptree that week, so the wait is days rather than weeks.
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
- 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.
- 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.

About West Mersea
West Mersea is the main settlement on Mersea Island, an oyster and sailing town reached only across the Strood causeway. The housing is mostly bungalows and interwar houses on a compact grid, with beach huts and holiday stock along the waterfront — floor-level access on most jobs, but with lofts, garages and boat gear holding the real volume in a clearance.
The causeway is the whole logistics story. On spring and surge tides the Strood floods and the island is cut off for a period either side of high water, so every Mersea booking is set against the published tide table before the diary, and the crew leaves with enough margin to get back off. Salt air off the estuary soils external glass, render and decking quickly, making external cleaning a maintenance cycle rather than a single fix. Colchester district uses Essex County Council's booking-only recycling centres with van permits; anything we clear leaves on our own upper-tier licence with a transfer note.
Other clearance & disposal services in West Mersea
West Mersea questions, answered.
How much does garden clearance cost in West Mersea?
Garden Clearance in West Mersea (CO5) 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 West Mersea usually means the Strood floods on spring and surge tides and closes the island completely, so every booking is checked against the published tide table before it is confirmed.
Do you cover the whole of West Mersea?
Yes — every CO5 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 West Mersea?
Same-week slots are standard in West Mersea, 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.
