Overview
Garden clearance in East Dulwich SE22, explained
This page prices garden clearance for East Dulwich SE22 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 25% privately rented and 3,337 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Southwark permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How garden clearance works in East Dulwich
Five steps, the same on every SE22 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — which is why London Borough of Southwark 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 East Dulwich customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE22 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. Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE22 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
East Dulwich walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, where 58% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is East Dulwich gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in East Dulwich
Fixed prices for SE22 and the rest of Southwark. 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 East Dulwich
The same scope across SE22, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Southwark bookings: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
- Green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source — including garden clearance london
- In East Dulwich: old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, the way it is done on East Dulwich jobs
- On SE22 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with 43% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Southwark bookings: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, allowing for the 25% of SE22 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 East Dulwich bookings
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, and we will say so before the SE22 visit rather than on the day
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, which we refer on to the right trade in East Dulwich
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE22

East Dulwich SE22 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers East Dulwich — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
East Dulwich SE22 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 43% of homes here are flats and 57% are houses, across 3,337 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 25% private renting against 58% owner-occupied, most SE22 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, where 58% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in East Dulwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is East Dulwich gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses. That character decides the practical detail of garden clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. East Dulwich sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. Nearest station is East Dulwich (Thameslink), and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.

Common questions
Garden clearance in East Dulwich SE22 — your questions.
How much does garden clearance cost in East Dulwich SE22?
Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in East Dulwich on the streets near Dulwich Park, with 26% one-person households here — and 58% owner-occupation locally, 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 on the East Dulwich rounds, with 43% of homes here being flats.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in East Dulwich SE22?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Southwark, with 43% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in East Dulwich most weeks across SE22, with Southwark parking rules in play.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in East Dulwich?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE22, with 57% of East Dulwich homes being houses.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a East Dulwich doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Dulwich Park. With 43% of East Dulwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for East Dulwich (SE22) addresses — and 58% owner-occupation locally, with 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach East Dulwich from your Southwark round?
Dulwich Park is the marker we route to on SE22 jobs, with 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented, and narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. A SE22 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Dulwich Park, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Is same-day or evening garden clearance available in Southwark?
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead on the East Dulwich rounds, with Southwark parking rules in play. East Dulwich sits close to East Dulwich (Thameslink) across SE22, with 26% one-person households here, so we can usually add a SE22 job to an existing Southwark round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in East Dulwich?
Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton across SE22. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Southwark it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the East Dulwich rounds — and 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented, with 43% of homes here being flats.
