When we moved to the new house, we had to take care of the garden which the landlord had stubbornly neglected. But Handy Services proved a fine solution: they are inexpensive and work fast and efficient. Recommended!Tom and Laura Woodstock

Frequently Asked Questions
If you're preparing for house removals in London, we can clear unwanted garden waste so your access stays safe and tidy. Our team removes green waste, old furniture, and broken items, then sorts materials for reuse where possible. That means fewer last-minute delays on move day, especially when crews need clear routes for wheelie bins, doors, and loading areas. We plan around your schedule, bring appropriate equipment, and protect surrounding surfaces so pathways and driveways stay in good condition. After clearance, we can also support with packing and furniture transport.
Yes. We use proper tools and moving methods for heavy garden items such as sheds' parts, fencing panels, soil bags, and bulky planters. That includes safe lifting techniques, protective blankets, and straps for controlled carry, plus measured loading to prevent damage. For access problems - like narrow gates, steps, or shared yards in boroughs - we adapt the approach so items move efficiently without dragging across surfaces. Before we start, we confirm routes from the garden to the vehicle and check any fragile boundaries, decking, or paving. This is the difference between a quick tidy-up and a safe, professional removal.
Our approach is built around safety and accountability. We provide professional movers who are trained for safe handling and clear communication on site. Staff are fully insured, DBS-checked, and trained to follow correct moving and disposal procedures (including how to handle potentially sharp or contaminated waste safely). We also work in line with UK safety and transport expectations. If you'd like evidence of compliance, we're happy to share details of our working standards and how we manage risk on the day. For clients who value quality checks, we can also align with widely recognised industry best practices where appropriate.
We take insurance seriously for both the moving side and the garden clearance side. Handy Services is fully insured, so you can feel confident about damage protection while items are loaded, transported, and unloaded. It's also why we treat boundaries and garden features carefully - protecting edges and surfaces before any carry starts. When it comes to disposal, we follow safe handling rules so waste is managed properly rather than dumped. If your move involves stairs, tight hallways, or shared access in a London borough, we'll plan the route and keep the work method consistent from start to finish.
Timing depends on the size of the garden and how much waste is involved, but we'll always aim for a practical turnaround. We start by discussing access (gate width, steps, parking bays, and whether a permit is needed), then confirm what's staying, what's going, and what needs recycling. For many customers, we can schedule clearance to match their removals day - so you're not left with half-removed items on moving morning. If you're working around a chain, we'll advise on the safest staging plan so loaders can reach doors and loading points without delay. Book early for larger clearances.
Yes - our process is designed to reduce landfill impact. We use eco packing options, with Eco rating: 96% of packing materials and transport methods are eco-friendly and low-emission. For garden waste, we focus on sorting to improve reuse potential where appropriate, and we manage disposal responsibly. That can be especially helpful when you're clearing out sheds, removing old pots, or replacing garden features before relocating. If you have items that are still usable, we'll flag them for reuse options rather than treating everything as general waste. It's a cleaner, greener way to start your move.
We provide professional removals and garden clearance across London and nearby areas, including many London boroughs where access can be tricky. Common coverage includes: Camden, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Richmond upon Thames, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, and Wandsworth. If you're unsure, tell us your borough and postcode, and we'll confirm availability. We regularly help residents in flats with stair access and shared corridors, as well as homeowners with driveways and rear garden routes.
We often plan around real local landmarks and routes to avoid wasted time on the day. For example, we frequently coordinate clearances and loading for clients near Kingston Hill, High Street Wimbledon, Fulham Road, Green Lanes, and near the bustle around Hyde Park. We also consider practical access points close to Crystal Palace Park and Regent's Canal towpaths when moves involve bulky items. Because parking restrictions and carriageway layouts differ, we always confirm the pickup and loading spot before we arrive. That way, you get a smoother workflow and a more predictable turnaround.
Where it's possible and practical, yes. We aim to sort materials so items that can be reused or recycled are diverted away from landfill. That could include usable garden furniture, salvageable timber, and packaging components that can be handled responsibly. While the exact outcome depends on what's in your garden and the materials involved, we'll explain what we can do as part of the clearance plan. If you're near a council recycling centre in your borough, we can also suggest the best route or approach where applicable. Tell us what you're clearing and we'll advise the most sensible option.
Yes, and Chelsea SW3 is one of the areas where people often need both garden and outbuilding clearance. We can remove shed contents, old tools, packaging, and bulky items so the space is ready for house removals. We'll check the condition first - looking out for loose flooring, sharp edges, and anything that could spill or break during lifting. Then we move items in a controlled way using protective blankets and secure straps to avoid scuffs on walls and doors. If you're planning a quick turnaround before your move, we'll also suggest staging so your builders or removals team can work without obstruction.
Pricing is based on what needs removing, how much there is, and how access works on the day. The biggest factors are the volume and type of waste (green waste, rubble, mixed items), whether there are stairs or tight gates, and how easy it is to load safely. Borough parking rules and loading restrictions can also affect timing. We'll ask a few straightforward questions, then provide a clear quote with the work scope confirmed. For transparency, we'll outline what's included and what isn't, so there are no surprises. If you share photos, we can often tighten the estimate.

Absolutely. If your garden clearance is part of a bigger relocation plan, we can combine services to reduce stress. That might mean packing support for breakables, storage for items you're not taking immediately, or furniture transport for desks and shelving. We also support office moves where external waste handling and tidy-up are needed before teams return. Our team works around your schedule, coordinating loading and access so nothing sits around blocking routes. If you tell us what's moving and what's being cleared, we'll recommend the cleanest plan - so the entire transition feels controlled from start to finish.
Getting started is straightforward. Call our London team or schedule a removals quote now, and we'll talk you through what you need cleared and what you're taking with you. If you can, share a few photos of the garden, shed, or driveway access - especially gates and steps - so we can confirm the best approach. We'll also ask about your move date, whether you're in a busy residential road, and any parking or loading constraints. Once we understand the scope, we'll set out what's included and help you plan the timing. Book your move today and we'll handle the hard work.
