Overview
Garden clearance in Notting Hill W11, explained
This page prices garden clearance for Notting Hill W11 specifically: mixed-era stock, 43% privately rented and 9,720 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
How garden clearance works in Notting Hill
Five steps, the same on every W11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In W11, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Notting Hill customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Notting Hill wall.
Notting Hill walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W11, 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 W11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Notting Hill
Fixed prices for W11 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. |

Scope
What's included in Notting Hill
The same scope across W11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Notting Hill: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, timed against the walk in from Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle, District)
- On W11 jobs: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, agreed on the doorstep in Notting Hill before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, allowing for the 43% of W11 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, noted on the Notting Hill job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Notting Hill: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, sized for the carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, and we will say so before the W11 visit rather than on the day
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or a specialist contractor instead
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, which we refer on to the right trade in Notting Hill
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W11

Notting Hill W11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Notting Hill — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
In Notting Hill (W11) the split is 75% flats to 25% houses over 9,720 households, and the stock is mixed-era.
The renter-heavy mix here (42% owned, 43% privately rented) means a W11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in W11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in W11, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Notting Hill 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 — pastel terraces, communal garden squares and the carnival's home streets — which is why a W11 quote is not a Kensington and Chelsea average.
On access, carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access — one reason two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Fitters travelling in use Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle, District).

Common questions
Garden clearance in Notting Hill W11 — your questions.
How much does garden clearance cost in Notting Hill W11?
Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Notting Hill, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, 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 75% flats neighbourhood, with 75% of homes here being flats.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Notting Hill W11?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on W11 jobs, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Notting Hill most weeks around Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle, District), with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Notting Hill?
In Notting Hill, 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 streets near Portobello Road Market, with 9,720 households on this patch. That covers local garden clearance on Notting Hill jobs too.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Notting Hill doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Notting Hill (W11) addresses. With 75% of Notting Hill homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Notting Hill rounds — and Portobello Road Market a few streets away, with 44% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in garden clearance in Notting Hill?
Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check; Japanese knotweed for Notting Hill (W11) addresses — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, with Portobello Road Market a few streets away, 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 Notting Hill W11 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Portobello Road Market, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented.
Who books garden clearance in Notting Hill W11 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 43% of Notting Hill privately rented and 42% owner-occupied, roughly half the W11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle, District) — and 43% of W11 homes being privately rented, with Portobello Road Market a few streets away.
How quickly can you reach Notting Hill from your Kensington and Chelsea round?
Portobello Road Market is the marker we route to on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented, and carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access. A W11 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Notting Hill rounds, with this being a short walk from Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle, District).
