Greenwich · SE3 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kidbrooke fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking green waste removal near Sutcliffe Park? Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £55 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices green waste removal for Kidbrooke SE3 specifically: post-war stock, 22% privately rented and 7,629 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Roughly how many cubic yards, whether it is soft green waste or heavy soil and turf, and whether there is rear access or everything has to go through the house.
Step 2
Green waste is priced by volume and soil or rubble by weight, so the quote separates the two rather than guessing at one blended rate.
Step 3
Branches and hedge cuttings cut down to fit the van; loose material bagged so nothing spills through a hallway or side return on the way out.
Step 4
Green waste, soil and any rubble kept apart in the van, because the green waste site and the inert tip are two different gate fees.
Step 5
Weighed in at a licensed green waste or inert site and the transfer note emailed the same day.
Why choose us
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Kidbrooke (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Kidbrooke (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Kidbrooke gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Sutcliffe Park.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for green and inert waste. Soft green waste is taken to a composting or green waste treatment site, soil and turf to inert recycling, and any invasive plant material identified on site is routed to a licensed consignment facility rather than mixed with standard garden waste.
Two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run. Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard | £55 | By volume | Light and bulky rather than heavy, so it is priced on the space it takes in the van, not its weight. |
| Hedge cuttings and branches, per cubic yard | £65 | By volume | Woody material needs to be cut down to fit before loading, which adds labour over a straight bag-and-carry. |
| Quarter-load mixed garden waste | £120 | 45–60 min | A typical small London garden clearance, priced on volume plus the green waste site's gate fee. |
| Half-load garden waste | £210 | 1–2 hrs | Covers a full rear garden clear where there is no side access and everything has to come out through the house. |
| Full Luton load of garden waste | £360 | 2–3 hrs | Full van, two crew and the site fee, typical after years of growth are tackled in one visit rather than several bin cycles. |
| Soil, turf and rubble, per cubic yard | £85 | By volume | These are weighed rather than measured by volume — a yard of wet turf or soil can weigh several times the same yard of hedge cuttings. |

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Working in Kidbrooke
In Kidbrooke (SE3) the split is 44% flats to 56% houses over 7,629 households, and the stock is post-war.
The mixed-tenure mix here (53% owned, 22% privately rented) means a SE3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Kidbrooke substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Kidbrooke (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Kidbrooke gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Sutcliffe Park is the mistake that costs a SE3 customer twice.
Kidbrooke is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — kidbrooke Village — the rebuilt Ferrier estate — beside Sutcliffe Park — which is why a SE3 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere — one reason two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run. Fitters travelling in use Kidbrooke (Southeastern).

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Kidbrooke across SE3, with 53% owner-occupation locally, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume for soft green waste, weight for soil and rubble, and access on the Kidbrooke rounds. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house on SE3 jobs, with 56% of Kidbrooke homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Kidbrooke (Southeastern), which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Kidbrooke (SE3) addresses, with Greenwich parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kidbrooke most weeks, with 29% one-person households here.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Greenwich, with 7,629 households on this patch.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across SE3. With 44% of Kidbrooke homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Sutcliffe Park, with 56% of Kidbrooke homes being houses — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material, which needs a licensed consignment route rather than standard green waste disposal; Tree felling and stump grinding above hedge height around Kidbrooke (Southeastern), which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste — and 25% social-rented stock nearby, with 56% of Kidbrooke homes being houses, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Kidbrooke SE3 price you agree is the price you pay across SE3, with Sutcliffe Park a few streets away.
All three. With 22% of Kidbrooke privately rented and 53% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Kidbrooke — and 56% of Kidbrooke homes being houses, with 25% social-rented stock nearby.
Sutcliffe Park is the marker we route to on Greenwich bookings, with 44% of homes here being flats, and managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere. A SE3 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Kidbrooke rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
