Overview
Garden clearance in Shortlands and Hayes BR2, explained
This page prices garden clearance for Shortlands and Hayes BR2 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 24% privately rented and 3,676 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 Shortlands and Hayes
Five steps, the same on every BR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Shortlands and Hayes customers book us
What follows is specific to Shortlands and Hayes: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bromley agents ask for.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Shortlands (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Shortlands and Hayes walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Shortlands and Hayes, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak in BR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in BR2, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Hayes Common.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Shortlands and Hayes
Fixed prices for BR2 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. |

Scope
What's included in Shortlands and Hayes
The same scope across BR2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bromley bookings: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, allowing for the 24% of BR2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, noted on the Shortlands and Hayes job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Shortlands and Hayes: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, timed against the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern)
- On BR2 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, agreed on the doorstep in Shortlands and Hayes before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Bromley bookings: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, arranged with London Borough of Bromley where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, outside the fixed price on Shortlands and Hayes bookings
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, and we will say so before the BR2 visit rather than on the day
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, which we refer on to the right trade in Shortlands and Hayes
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR2

Shortlands and Hayes BR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shortlands and Hayes — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
Shortlands and Hayes BR2 is mainly Edwardian and owner-occupier-led: 52% of homes here are flats and 48% are houses, across 3,676 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 24% private renting against 69% owner-occupied, most BR2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Shortlands and Hayes substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Shortlands and Hayes, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in BR2, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Hayes Common is the mistake that costs a BR2 customer twice.
Leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby. That character decides the practical detail of garden clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Shortlands and Hayes 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 and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. Shortlands (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.

Common questions
Garden clearance in Shortlands and Hayes BR2 — your questions.

Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Shortlands and Hayes, with 7% social-rented stock nearby — and 48% of Shortlands and Hayes homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 in this 52% flats neighbourhood, with Hayes Common a few streets away.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Shortlands and Hayes BR2?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Bromley bookings, with Bromley parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Shortlands and Hayes most weeks in this 52% flats neighbourhood, with 33% one-person households here.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Shortlands and Hayes?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Shortlands and Hayes, with 24% of BR2 homes being privately rented.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Shortlands and Hayes doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Shortlands and Hayes (BR2) addresses. With 52% of Shortlands and Hayes homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Shortlands and Hayes rounds, with 33% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Shortlands and Hayes?
Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak on Bromley bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bromley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Shortlands and Hayes — and this being a short walk from Shortlands (Southeastern), with 3,676 households on this patch.
Are your fitters insured for work in BR2?
For BR2 bookings, registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name on Bromley bookings, with 52% of homes here being flats. That paperwork is what most Bromley letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Hayes Common, with Bromley parking rules in play. Around Shortlands (Southeastern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
What is not included in garden clearance in Shortlands and Hayes?
Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check; Japanese knotweed for Shortlands and Hayes (BR2) addresses, with this being a short walk from Shortlands (Southeastern) — and 69% owner-occupation locally, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor; Ongoing garden maintenance or planting; Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Shortlands and Hayes BR2 price you agree is the price you pay in this 52% flats neighbourhood, with 69% owner-occupation locally.
