Overview
Garden clearance in Crayford DA1, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Crayford, garden clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 28% of Crayford's 9,135 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in DA1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Crayford
Five steps, the same on every DA1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In DA1, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — with 26% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photos or a visit
A couple of photographs is usually enough to price a London garden accurately.
Step 2
Protect the route
Hallway sheeted where the only way out is through the house — the norm in a terrace.
Step 3
Cut and bag
Cut back to the agreed line, bagged as we go so nothing is left piled on the patio.
Step 4
Split the load
Green waste for composting, timber and hard landscaping separated for the right facility.
Step 5
Sweep and sign off
Paths and hallway swept, transfer note handed over, before-and-after photos on request.
Why choose us
Why Crayford customers book us
Four things decide whether a DA1 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crayford walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is what a 28% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Crayford actually produces in DA1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Crayford stock goes, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Crayford
Fixed prices for DA1 and the rest of Bexley. Volume and the carry distance set the price. A garden with rear access is materially cheaper than an identical garden reached only through the living room.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small courtyard or balcony tidy | £120 | 1–2 hrs | A quarter-load of green waste, hand-carried through the house because most London terraces have no side return. |
| Half-load green waste | £210 | 2–3 hrs | Prunings, turf and pots, taken to a composting site rather than a general transfer station. |
| Full Luton load | £390 | 3–5 hrs | An overgrown rear garden cut back and cleared, including the bags that have been by the back door since spring. |
| Shed or greenhouse dismantle and remove | £180 | 2 hrs | Dismantled panel by panel; glass is wrapped and separated because it cannot go in with green waste. |
| Decking, fencing or hard landscaping removal | £320 | 4 hrs+ | Treated timber and concrete are charged at a different rate than green waste, so it is priced separately. |

Scope
What's included in Crayford
The same scope across DA1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Crayford: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, sized for the wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way
- On DA1 jobs: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, garden clearance included
- Standard on Bexley bookings: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, with 9,135 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, checked on every DA1 visit
- In Crayford: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, the way it is done on Crayford jobs
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, which we refer on to the right trade in Crayford
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA1
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, outside the fixed price on Crayford bookings
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, and we will say so before the DA1 visit rather than on the day

Crayford DA1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Crayford — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
Crayford DA1 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 28% of homes here are flats and 72% are houses, across 9,135 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 16% private renting against 57% owner-occupied, most DA1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Crayford substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is what a 28% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Crayford actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Crayford stock goes, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a DA1 customer twice.
Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border — which is why a DA1 quote is not a Bexley average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
