Overview
Garden clearance in Catford SE6, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Catford, garden clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 62% of Catford's 6,981 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE6 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Catford
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Catford stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat 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 Catford customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE6 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Catford walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE6, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 62% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Catford actually produces in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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 Catford
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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. |

Prunings, turf and pots, taken to a composting site rather than a general transfer station.

£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

Scope
What's included in Catford
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE6 jobs: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, agreed on the doorstep in Catford before anything is unpacked
- In Catford: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, timed against the walk in from Catford (Southeastern)
- Old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, noted on the Catford job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, allowing for the 33% of SE6 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SE6 jobs: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, with 62% 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 Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, and we will say so before the SE6 visit rather than on the day
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, outside the fixed price on Catford bookings
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6

Catford SE6 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Catford — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
The SE6 stock around The Catford Cat is mainly Victorian. ONS records 62% flats, 38% houses and 6,981 households in Catford.
Owner-occupation runs at 42% in Catford, so alongside the 33% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE6, with metal stud partitions between rooms — which is what a 62% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Catford actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Anyone who knows Catford knows the pattern near The Catford Cat: the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. We plan the SE6 visit around it. Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.

Common questions
Garden clearance in Catford SE6 — your questions.
How much does garden clearance cost in Catford SE6?
Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Catford in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with The Catford Cat a few streets away, 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 on the Catford rounds, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern).
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Catford SE6?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Catford (SE6) addresses, with 33% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Catford most weeks in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Catford?
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 The Catford Cat, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Catford doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Lewisham bookings. With 62% of Catford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Catford — and this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), with The Catford Cat a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE6?
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name on SE6 jobs, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. That paperwork is what most Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Catford rounds, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
What is not included in garden clearance in Catford?
Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check; Japanese knotweed in this 62% flats neighbourhood — and 42% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), 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 Catford SE6 price you agree is the price you pay on Lewisham bookings, with 42% owner-occupation locally.
Who books garden clearance in Catford SE6 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 33% of Catford privately rented and 42% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 62% flats neighbourhood — and 33% one-person households here, with 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented.
