Overview
Garden clearance in Petts Wood BR5, explained
This page prices garden clearance for Petts Wood BR5 specifically: inter-war stock, 8% privately rented and 2,972 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Petts Wood
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, as the Petts Wood stock goes, where 90% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Petts Wood customers book us
Four things decide whether a BR5 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Petts Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside — and with 22% one-person households in Petts Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Petts Wood
Fixed prices for BR5 and the rest of Bromley. 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. |

£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+

Scope
What's included in Petts Wood
The same scope across BR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On BR5 jobs: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, with 8% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Petts Wood: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, the way it is done on Petts Wood jobs
- Old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed — including garden clearance
- Standard on Bromley bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, arranged with London Borough of Bromley where the kerb needs it
- On BR5 jobs: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, agreed on the doorstep in Petts Wood before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR5
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, which we refer on to the right trade in Petts Wood
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, and we will say so before the BR5 visit rather than on the day

Petts Wood BR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Petts Wood — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
Walk Petts Wood from The Willett Memorial Wood outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 8% of the 2,972 households in BR5 live in flats, 92% in houses.
Private renting sits at 8% and owner-occupation at 90%; the first group books garden clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside — and with 22% one-person households in Petts Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Petts Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Petts Wood knows the pattern near The Willett Memorial Wood: a planned 1930s commuter suburb with a conservation-area shopping parade. We plan the BR5 visit around it. Petts Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
