Overview
Garden clearance in Lewisham SE13, explained
This page prices garden clearance for Lewisham SE13 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 3,987 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Lewisham
Five steps, the same on every SE13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, 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 Lewisham customers book us
What follows is specific to Lewisham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lewisham 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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Lewisham walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Lewisham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Lewisham
Fixed prices for SE13 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. |

Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Lewisham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Lewisham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
The market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. That character decides the practical detail of garden clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. Nearest station is Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
