Overview
Garden clearance in Kennington SE11, explained
This page prices garden clearance for Kennington SE11 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 25% privately rented and 8,644 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lambeth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Kennington
Five steps, the same on every SE11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Kennington stock goes, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Kennington customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Kennington wall.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Kennington (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SE11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kennington walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kennington, often with surface conduit — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE11, 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 on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Kennington
Fixed prices for SE11 and the rest of Lambeth. 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 Kennington
The same scope across SE11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE11 jobs: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, agreed on the doorstep in Kennington before anything is unpacked
- In Kennington: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, timed against the walk in from Kennington (Northern)
- Old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, checked on every SE11 visit
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with 8,644 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SE11 jobs: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, with 88% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, handled by London Borough of Lambeth or a specialist contractor instead
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, and we will say so before the SE11 visit rather than on the day
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, outside the fixed price on Kennington bookings
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE11

Kennington SE11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kennington — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
Walk Kennington from The Kia Oval outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 88% of the 8,644 households in SE11 live in flats, 12% in houses.
25% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why garden clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kennington, often with surface conduit — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in SE11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Kennington knows the pattern near The Kia Oval: georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them. We plan the SE11 visit around it. Kennington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. Nearest station is Kennington (Northern), and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.

Common questions
Garden clearance in Kennington SE11 — your questions.
How much does garden clearance cost in Kennington SE11?
Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Kennington across SE11, with 88% of homes here being flats, 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 88% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Kennington SE11?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SE11 jobs, with 12% of Kennington homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kennington most weeks on the streets near The Kia Oval, with The Kia Oval a few streets away.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Kennington?
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 Kennington rounds, with 25% of SE11 homes being privately rented.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Kennington doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Lambeth. With 88% of Kennington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 88% flats neighbourhood — and 12% of Kennington homes being houses, with 8,644 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Is same-day or evening garden clearance available in Lambeth?
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead in Kennington, with 25% of SE11 homes being privately rented. Kennington sits close to Kennington (Northern), with The Kia Oval a few streets away, so we can usually add a SE11 job to an existing Lambeth round at short notice around Kennington (Northern).
Do you handle difficult access in Kennington?
Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access on the streets near The Kia Oval. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lambeth it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards across SE11 — and 12% of Kennington homes being houses, with 8,644 households on this patch.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE11?
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name on SE11 jobs, with 88% of homes here being flats. That paperwork is what most Lambeth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Kennington rounds, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
