Tower Hamlets · E14 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Limehouse fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide green waste removal in Limehouse E14 for houses and flats around Limehouse Basin. From £55, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Green waste removal in Limehouse E14 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Tower Hamlets, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 7,637 households sit inside this E14 patch, 83% of them flats, so we quote on access near Limehouse Basin 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. Narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Limehouse (DLR, c2c) is the nearest station, so a E14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Limehouse, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E14, 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 Limehouse stock goes, a median age of 30 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 Limehouse
7,637 households sit inside the E14 neighbourhood covering Limehouse. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 83% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (25% owned, 32% privately rented) means a E14 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Limehouse, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Limehouse is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Limehouse stock goes, a median age of 30 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Basin marina, Narrow Street's riverside houses and canal moorings. That character decides the practical detail of green waste removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Limehouse 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, narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking — 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.
