Kingston upon Thames · KT2 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kingston Vale and Coombe fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for green waste removal in Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2? We work in Kingston Vale and Coombe most weeks — private estates of large houses on the slope below Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate — and price green waste removal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £55, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Green waste removal in Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Kingston upon Thames, most of them post-war. 2,354 households sit inside this KT2 patch, 12% of them flats, so we quote on access near Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate 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
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. Private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Norbiton (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the reality on the streets around Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate in KT2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kingston Vale and Coombe stock goes, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe actually produces.
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.

Working in Kingston Vale and Coombe
2,354 households sit inside the KT2 neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe. The build is post-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 12% of those homes are flats.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (77% owned, 20% privately rented) means a KT2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the reality on the streets around Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate behind the plaster in KT2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kingston Vale and Coombe stock goes, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Private estates of large houses on the slope below Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Kingston Vale and Coombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. Norbiton (South Western) is the nearest station, and 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.

Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material, with 88% of Kingston Vale and Coombe homes being houses, which needs a licensed consignment route rather than standard green waste disposal; Tree felling and stump grinding above hedge height, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers on the Kingston Vale and Coombe rounds, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste — and 3% social-rented stock nearby, which fall outside standard green waste licensing.
