Sutton · SM3 · Garden clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Cheam fitters · Fixed written pricesCheam SM3 is a regular stop on our Sutton round. A village centre with timber-framed buildings and Nonsuch Park on the edge, so garden clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £120, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices garden clearance for Cheam SM3 specifically: inter-war stock, 15% privately rented and 13,016 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Sutton permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
A couple of photographs is usually enough to price a London garden accurately.
Step 2
Hallway sheeted where the only way out is through the house — the norm in a terrace.
Step 3
Cut back to the agreed line, bagged as we go so nothing is left piled on the patio.
Step 4
Green waste for composting, timber and hard landscaping separated for the right facility.
Step 5
Paths and hallway swept, transfer note handed over, before-and-after photos on request.
Why choose us
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Cheam, cavity brickwork outside — and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SM3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SM3, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 13,016 households inside the SM3 neighbourhood.
Registered waste carrier; green waste goes to a composting facility and every load leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Driveways on nearly every street; the village parade has short loading bays.
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Cheam (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SM3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |

Scope
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.
