Overview
Garden clearance in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained
This page prices garden clearance for Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 28% privately rented and 4,944 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Mortlake and East Sheen
Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW14, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, the pattern behind 4,944 households inside the SW14 neighbourhood in SW14, 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 SW14, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Mortlake and East Sheen
Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 Mortlake and East Sheen
The same scope across SW14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, timed against the walk in from Mortlake (South Western)
- On SW14 jobs: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, agreed on the doorstep in Mortlake and East Sheen before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, allowing for the 28% of SW14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, noted on the Mortlake and East Sheen job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, the way it is done on Mortlake and East Sheen jobs
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, and we will say so before the SW14 visit rather than on the day
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, handled by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, which we refer on to the right trade in Mortlake and East Sheen

Working in Mortlake and East Sheen
Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Mortlake and East Sheen — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 is mainly Edwardian and owner-occupier-led: 50% of homes here are flats and 50% are houses, across 4,944 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 28% of Mortlake and East Sheen is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of SW14 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, the pattern behind 4,944 households inside the SW14 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SW14. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW14, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Mortlake and East Sheen is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Boat Race finish, the old brewery site and East Sheen's shopping parade — which is why a SW14 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. Nearest station is Mortlake (South Western), and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across SW14, with The Boat Race finishing post a few streets away.

With 50% of Mortlake and East Sheen homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SW14, with this being a short walk from Mortlake (South Western) — and 32% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
