Outbuilding & Area Clearance

Garden & Outdoor Clearance

Garden clearance removes agreed outdoor clutter, green waste and unwanted items so you can use the space again. iTrade assesses gardens across Norfolk and Norwich, separating contents removal from cutting back, heavy materials or dismantling.

Quick answer

Who it is for: Homeowners, landlords, agents and executors clearing a garden, yard or outdoor space.

What it covers: Agreed green waste and outdoor contents. Soil, rubble, fixed structures and heavily overgrown areas need a separate assessment within the quotation.

When a survey is needed: Photographs of the garden and the access route are usually enough; a survey helps for large or heavily overgrown spaces.

A garden load may contain cuttings, broken furniture, pots, fencing and heavy soil. Describe each group when asking for a quote: a heap of branches needs a different loading and disposal plan from a similar-sized pile of rubble.

For a Norwich garden reached through the house or a shared passage, include photographs of the route as well as the garden. Gate width, steps and the distance to the loading point affect the assessment. Do not move heavy or suspect materials just to take a photograph.

Agree what stays, including plants, pots and usable furniture. Fencing, decking or shed dismantling needs its own scope. One-off clearance removes agreed contents; mowing, pruning and continuing upkeep belong to garden maintenance.

Scope

What is included, what needs checking, and what is not

  4. Clearance and sorting

What to have ready for an accurate quote

Reassurance and compliance

When you pay someone to remove household or garden waste, you have a household duty of care under section 34(2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Check that whoever takes the waste is a registered waste carrier.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Do you take soil and rubble?

Yes, though these are heavy and priced by weight, so it helps to tell iTrade roughly how much there is.

Can you remove old decking or fencing?

Dismantling can be assessed and quoted separately from loose contents. Send photographs and describe the construction, condition and access. Suspect materials and work outside the assessed scope need a suitable specialist.

What happens to the green waste?

Green waste is sent for composting or recycling rather than general disposal where possible.

Is this the same as a garden tidy-up?

A clearance removes waste and clutter as a one-off. Ongoing mowing, pruning and upkeep fall under garden tidy-ups and maintenance.
