Overview
Garden clearance in New Cross SE14, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around New Cross, garden clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 73% of New Cross's 11,771 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE14 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How garden clearance works in New Cross
Five steps, the same on every SE14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — measured on the walk in from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map 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 New Cross customers book us
What follows is specific to New Cross: 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. September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
New Cross walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE14, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is New Cross gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in New Cross
Fixed prices for SE14 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. |

Scope
What's included in New Cross
The same scope across SE14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, with 11,771 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, checked on every SE14 visit
- In New Cross: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, sized for the september student turnover, new cross road red route and narrow permit-only streets
- On SE14 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, local garden clearance included
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, allowing for the 34% of SE14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, outside the fixed price on New Cross bookings
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, and we will say so before the SE14 visit rather than on the day
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, which we refer on to the right trade in New Cross
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE14

New Cross SE14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers New Cross — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
New Cross SE14 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 73% of homes here are flats and 27% are houses, across 11,771 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (30% owned, 34% privately rented) means a SE14 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE14, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in New Cross is chosen on site — the usual failure here is New Cross gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. That character decides the practical detail of garden clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. New Cross 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: september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.
