Kensington and Chelsea · SW3 · Garden clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Chelsea fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking garden clearance near The Royal Hospital Chelsea? Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £120 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices garden clearance for Chelsea SW3 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 35% privately rented and 8,944 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
A couple of photographs is usually enough to price a London garden accurately.
Step 2
Hallway sheeted where the only way out is through the house — the norm in a terrace.
Step 3
Cut back to the agreed line, bagged as we go so nothing is left piled on the patio.
Step 4
Green waste for composting, timber and hard landscaping separated for the right facility.
Step 5
Paths and hallway swept, transfer note handed over, before-and-after photos on request.
Why choose us
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly), with Sloane Square east is the nearest station, so a SW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Chelsea, with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly), with Sloane Square east rather than assumed from a map in SW3, 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 SW3, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits.
Fixed prices
| 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
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.

Working in Chelsea
In Chelsea (SW3) the split is 78% flats to 22% houses over 8,944 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
Because 35% of Chelsea is privately rented and 27% socially rented, a lot of SW3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Chelsea substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Chelsea, with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly), with Sloane Square east rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW3, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SW3 customer twice.
Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — king's Road shops, Cadogan estate squares and the river at Chelsea Embankment — which is why a SW3 quote is not a Kensington and Chelsea average.
Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Nearest station is South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly), with Sloane Square east, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.

Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Chelsea, with 35% of SW3 homes being privately rented, 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 78% flats neighbourhood, with 22% of Chelsea homes being houses.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 78% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 44 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Chelsea most weeks on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.
In Chelsea, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly), with Sloane Square east, with 78% of homes here being flats. That covers garden clearance prices on Chelsea jobs too.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Royal Hospital Chelsea. With 78% of Chelsea homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Chelsea (SW3) addresses, with 27% social-rented stock nearby — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
The Royal Hospital Chelsea is the marker we route to on SW3 jobs, with 38% owner-occupation locally, and cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. A SW3 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next around South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly), with Sloane Square east, with 27% social-rented stock nearby.
