Overview
Garden clearance in Earl's Court SW5, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Earl's Court, garden clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 97% of Earl's Court's 3,241 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Earl's Court
Five steps, the same on every SW5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW5, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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 Earl's Court customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Earl's Court wall.
Earl's Court walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 49% one-person households in Earl's Court, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Earl's Court stock goes, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Earl's Court
Fixed prices for SW5 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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. |

- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, outside the fixed price on Earl's Court bookings

Working in Earl's Court
Earl's Court SW5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Earl's Court — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
Earl's Court SW5 is period conversion and renter-heavy: 97% of homes here are flats and 3% are houses, across 3,241 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 44% private renting against 25% owner-occupied, most SW5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 49% one-person households in Earl's Court, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Earl's Court is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Earl's Court stock goes, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Earl's Court 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 — tall stucco terraces of flats and short lets around the former exhibition site — which is why a SW5 quote is not a Kensington and Chelsea average.
On access, dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift — one reason two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Fitters travelling in use Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly).
