Overview
Garden clearance in Streatham SW16, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Streatham, garden clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 66% of Streatham's 26,325 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW16 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Streatham
Five steps, the same on every SW16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — and with 30% one-person households in Streatham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Streatham customers book us
What follows is specific to Streatham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lambeth agents ask for.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. A23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) is the nearest station, so a SW16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Streatham walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW16, 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 Streatham, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Streatham Common and the Rookery.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Streatham
Fixed prices for SW16 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 Streatham
The same scope across SW16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, arranged with London Borough of Lambeth where the kerb needs it
- Green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source — including garden clearance
- In Streatham: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, the way it is done on Streatham jobs
- On SW16 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with 66% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, with 26,325 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, and we will say so before the SW16 visit rather than on the day
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, handled by London Borough of Lambeth or a specialist contractor instead
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW16
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, outside the fixed price on Streatham bookings

Streatham SW16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Streatham — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
26,325 households sit inside the SW16 neighbourhood covering Streatham. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 66% of those homes are flats.
With 35% private renting against 44% owner-occupied, most SW16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Streatham substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Lambeth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Streatham, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Streatham Common and the Rookery is the mistake that costs a SW16 customer twice.
A two-mile high road, the common and the ice rink, with Edwardian streets either side. That character decides the practical detail of garden clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Streatham sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, a23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts — one reason two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Fitters travelling in use Streatham (Thameslink, Southern).

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Lambeth, with 44% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Streatham most weeks across SW16, with this being a short walk from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern).

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Lambeth, with 21% social-rented stock nearby. On Streatham jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Streatham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across SW16. With 66% of Streatham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Streatham Common and the Rookery — and 34% of Streatham homes being houses, with 30% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

Are your fitters insured for work in SW16?
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name for Streatham (SW16) addresses, with Lambeth parking rules in play. That paperwork is what most Lambeth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Streatham rounds, with 30% one-person households here.
What is not included in garden clearance in Streatham?
Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check; Japanese knotweed around Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) — and 34% of Streatham homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor; Ongoing garden maintenance or planting; Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal.
