Overview
Garden clearance in Nunhead SE15, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Nunhead, garden clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 58% of Nunhead's 7,127 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE15 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How garden clearance works in Nunhead
Five steps, the same on every SE15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Nunhead stock goes, which is what a 58% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Nunhead actually produces 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 Nunhead customers book us
What follows is specific to Nunhead: its walls, its access and the paperwork Southwark agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Nunhead (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Nunhead walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 7,127 households inside the SE15 neighbourhood.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Fixed prices
Garden clearance prices in Nunhead
Fixed prices for SE15 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. |

£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+

Scope
What's included in Nunhead
The same scope across SE15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE15 jobs: cutting back, bagging and carrying out through the house where there is no rear access, garden clearance london included
- In Nunhead: green waste routed to a composting facility, with the load split at source, sized for the steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station
- Old furniture, pots, bags of soil and general garden clutter removed, checked on every SE15 visit
- Standard on Southwark bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with 7,127 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SE15 jobs: paths and hallways sheeted and swept before we leave, agreed on the doorstep in Nunhead before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check, which we refer on to the right trade in Nunhead
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Ongoing garden maintenance or planting, and we will say so before the SE15 visit rather than on the day
- Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal, outside the fixed price on Nunhead bookings

Nunhead SE15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Nunhead — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
The SE15 stock around Nunhead Cemetery is mainly Victorian. ONS records 58% flats, 42% houses and 7,127 households in Nunhead.
Owner-occupation runs at 41% in Nunhead, so alongside the 20% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Nunhead substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 7,127 households inside the SE15 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SE15 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Nunhead knows the pattern near Nunhead Cemetery: cemetery, hill views and a quiet village green between Peckham and Brockley. We plan the SE15 visit around it. Nunhead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Nunhead (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway.

We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Nunhead most weeks on the streets near Nunhead Cemetery, with 42% of Nunhead homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Nunhead?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Nunhead (SE15) addresses, with Nunhead Cemetery a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Nunhead doorway?

With 58% of Nunhead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Nunhead Cemetery, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory — and 39% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
