Overview
Garden clearance in Custom House E16, explained
This page prices garden clearance for Custom House E16 specifically: post-war stock, 24% privately rented and 3,330 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Newham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Custom House customers book us
Four things decide whether a E16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E16, often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Custom House station and Victoria Dock.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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. |
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.
Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord and agent invoices are plus VAT. Green waste is separated and composted where the load allows, and mixed loads are priced on the heavier stream rather than averaged.
Scope
What's included in Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Newham bookings: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, with 3,330 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 E16 visit
- In Custom House: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, timed against the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR)
- On E16 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, local garden clearance included
- Standard on Newham bookings: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, arranged with London Borough of Newham where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, which we refer on to the right trade in Custom House
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, and we will say so before the E16 visit rather than on the day
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
3,330 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering Custom House. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 50% of those homes are flats.
Because 24% of Custom House is privately rented and 49% socially rented, a lot of E16 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Custom House substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E16, often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the mistake that costs a E16 customer twice.
Regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. That character decides the practical detail of garden clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Custom House 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: construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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 Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does garden clearance cost in Custom House E16?
Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Custom House across E16 — and 26% one-person households here, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock 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 in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Custom House E16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on E16 jobs, with 49% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Custom House most weeks on the Custom House rounds, with 26% owner-occupation locally.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Custom House?
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 Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Custom House doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Custom House (E16) addresses. With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Custom House, with 50% of homes here being flats — and 49% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Custom House from your Newham round?
Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to on E16 jobs, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented, and construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. A E16 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
Is same-day or evening garden clearance available in Newham?
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead on E16 jobs, with 26% one-person households here. Custom House sits close to Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) on this side of Newham — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with 3,330 households on this patch, so we can usually add a E16 job to an existing Newham round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Custom House?
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts on this side of Newham. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Newham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in this 50% flats neighbourhood — and Newham parking rules in play, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses.
