Kensington and Chelsea · W11 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Holland Park fitters · Fixed written pricesGreen waste removal in Holland Park W11, Kensington and Chelsea, from £55. Wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum, which is why our W11 quotes account for driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Green waste removal in Holland Park W11 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 3,387 households sit inside this W11 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden rather than a London average.
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
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. Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden in W11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Holland Park (Central) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
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. |

Working in Holland Park
Census 2021 puts Holland Park at 3,387 households with a median age of 39. The period conversion stock is renter-heavy, which is why 20% houses and 80% flats need different handling in W11.
43% of households rent privately and 40% own, which is why green waste removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden, so the fixing that matters in Holland Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Holland Park (Central) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Holland Park knows the pattern near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden: wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum. We plan the W11 visit around it. Holland Park 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, driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors — 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 Holland Park (Central).
