Overview

Garden clearance in Greenwich SE10, explained

Garden clearance in Greenwich SE10 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Greenwich, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 17,397 households sit inside this SE10 patch, 73% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark rather than a London average.

How it works

How garden clearance works in Greenwich

Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Greenwich gives us new-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich actually produces is what we plan for here.

  1. Step 1

    Photos or a visit

    A couple of photographs is usually enough to price a London garden accurately.

  2. Step 2

    Protect the route

    Hallway sheeted where the only way out is through the house — the norm in a terrace.

  3. Step 3

    Cut and bag

    Cut back to the agreed line, bagged as we go so nothing is left piled on the patio.

  4. Step 4

    Split the load

    Green waste for composting, timber and hard landscaping separated for the right facility.

  5. Step 5

    Sweep and sign off

    Paths and hallway swept, transfer note handed over, before-and-after photos on request.

Why choose us

Why Greenwich customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Greenwich wall.

Greenwich walls, not generic walls

We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE10, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map.

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. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.

Booked around your day

Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Garden clearance prices in Greenwich

Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. 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.
Garden clearance price guide for Greenwich SE10
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Small courtyard or balcony tidy£1201–2 hrsA quarter-load of green waste, hand-carried through the house because most London terraces have no side return.
Half-load green waste£2102–3 hrsPrunings, turf and pots, taken to a composting site rather than a general transfer station.
Full Luton load£3903–5 hrsAn 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£1802 hrsDismantled panel by panel; glass is wrapped and separated because it cannot go in with green waste.
Decking, fencing or hard landscaping removal£3204 hrs+Treated timber and concrete are charged at a different rate than green waste, so it is priced separately.

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord and agent invoices are plus VAT. Green waste is separated and composted where the load allows, and mixed loads are priced on the heavier stream rather than averaged.

Scope

What's included in Greenwich

The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, checked on every SE10 visit
  • Standard on Greenwich bookings: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, with 17,397 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
  • On SE10 jobs: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, local garden clearance included
  • In Greenwich: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, sized for the cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access
  • Paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave — including garden clearance

Not included

  • Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
  • Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, and we will say so before the SE10 visit rather than on the day
  • Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10
  • Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich

Greenwich SE10 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.

The SE10 stock around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 73% flats, 27% houses and 17,397 households in Greenwich.

Private renting sits at 31% and owner-occupation at 40%; the first group books garden clearance at short notice, the second plans it.

Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in SE10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE10, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.

Two streets can behave very differently in Greenwich: world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. Nearest station is Cutty Sark (DLR), and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.

Common questions

Garden clearance in Greenwich SE10 — your questions.

  • How much does garden clearance cost in Greenwich SE10?

    Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Greenwich, with 17,397 households on this patch, 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 73% flats neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Greenwich SE10?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Greenwich bookings, with Greenwich parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenwich most weeks, with 73% of homes here being flats.

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in Greenwich?

    5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Greenwich rounds, with 73% of homes here being flats.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Greenwich doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Cutty Sark (DLR). With 73% of Greenwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Greenwich — and 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented, with 32% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • Is same-day or evening garden clearance available in Greenwich?

    Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead on Greenwich bookings, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory. Greenwich sits close to Cutty Sark (DLR), with 73% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a SE10 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice in this 73% flats neighbourhood.

  • Do you handle difficult access in Greenwich?

    Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access on Greenwich bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the Greenwich rounds — and The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented.

  • Are your fitters insured for work in SE10?

    Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with 29% social-rented stock nearby. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Greenwich, with 40% owner-occupation locally.
