Overview

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
Usually bookable within 48 hours outside of March to June, when garden work books out a week ahead. Victoria (Victoria, Circle, District, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a SW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 48% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW1, 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, as the Victoria stock goes, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Coach-station traffic, red routes on Vauxhall Bridge Road and dock booking in the newer blocks.
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. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Victoria
Victoria SW1 is inter-war and social-housing-led: 92% of homes here are flats and 8% are houses, across 3,844 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (22% owned, 30% privately rented) means a SW1 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Victoria substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 48% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Victoria stock goes, where 22% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SW1 customer twice.
Victoria sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — station district of offices, theatres and new mixed-use blocks around Nova — which is why a SW1 quote is not a Westminster average.
On access, coach-station traffic, red routes on Vauxhall Bridge Road and dock booking in the newer blocks — one reason two crew and a Luton or tipper; three where everything has to be carried through a hallway. Fitters travelling in use Victoria (Victoria, Circle, District, National Rail).

Small courtyard or balcony tidy starts at £120 in Victoria, with this being a short walk from Victoria (Victoria, Circle, District, National Rail), 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 SW1 jobs, with Westminster Cathedral a few streets away.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near Westminster Cathedral, with 30% of SW1 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Victoria most weeks for Victoria (SW1) addresses, with Westminster Cathedral a few streets away.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SW1 jobs, with 8% of Victoria homes being houses.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Westminster. With 92% of Victoria homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Victoria, with 30% of SW1 homes being privately rented — and Westminster parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Tree surgery, felling and anything requiring a chainsaw ticket or a TPO check; Japanese knotweed on the Victoria rounds, with 49% one-person households here — and Westminster Cathedral a few streets away, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist contractor; Ongoing garden maintenance or planting; Digging out foundations, ponds or concrete bases beyond surface removal. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Victoria SW1 price you agree is the price you pay on SW1 jobs, with Westminster parking rules in play.
All three. With 30% of Victoria privately rented and 22% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SW1 jobs, with 92% of homes here being flats.
Westminster Cathedral is the marker we route to across SW1, with 3,844 households on this patch, and coach-station traffic, red routes on Vauxhall Bridge Road and dock booking in the newer blocks. A SW1 slot added to an existing Westminster round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Westminster, with 49% one-person households here.
