How it works
How garden clearance works in Temple and Aldwych
Five steps, the same on every WC2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Temple and Aldwych stock goes, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Temple and Aldwych customers book us
What follows is specific to Temple and Aldwych: its walls, its access and the paperwork Westminster 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. Temple (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a WC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Temple and Aldwych walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in WC2, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around The Royal Courts of Justice in WC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Temple and Aldwych
Fixed prices for WC2 and the rest of Westminster. 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. |

Temple and Aldwych WC2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Temple and Aldwych — the numbers that actually change a garden clearance quote.
The WC2 stock around The Royal Courts of Justice is period conversion. ONS records 95% flats, 5% houses and 3,927 households in Temple and Aldwych.
Private renting sits at 44% and owner-occupation at 28%; the first group books garden clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in WC2, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around The Royal Courts of Justice behind the plaster in WC2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Temple and Aldwych knows the pattern near The Royal Courts of Justice: barristers' chambers, King's College buildings and the crescent of Aldwych. We plan the WC2 visit around it. Temple and Aldwych sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times — one reason two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Fitters travelling in use Temple (Circle, District).
