London garden clearance · Central London
Local garden clearance for Southwark and its 14 covered areas. South-bank riverfront and Borough Market at the top, Peckham and Dulwich villages at the bottom.
Fixed prices
| 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. |
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.
Working in Southwark
The stock in Southwark is riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the aylesbury, victorian terraces and dulwich's detached villas, and the mix changes street by street — Bermondsey (SE16), Camberwell (SE5) and Canada Water (SE16) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Southwark sets the constraint: riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the new kent road and cpzs from se1 to peckham. Locally that means railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays and hospital-area restrictions, narrow georgian streets and steep front steps. Part of Southwark sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
London Borough of Southwark runs bulky-waste collections and reuse and recycling centres, and they are a genuine option in Southwark for one or two items. Where they stop being useful is size limits, same-week deadlines and anything lifted out of a communal area — those are the loads we take, under our waste carrier licence and with a transfer note issued on the day.
Southwark took its present shape because london's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s.

Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Southwark, and the ladder runs up to £320 for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: SE1, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24 and SE5. On the ground that includes Bermondsey, Camberwell, Canada Water, Dulwich Village, East Dulwich and Elephant and Castle.
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Southwark and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the Aylesbury, Victorian terraces and Dulwich's detached villas is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Southwark tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Southwark postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor and Ongoing garden maintenance or planting. If something on that list turns up in Southwark, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
