Limitations & Specialist Requests

• We do not undertake high-risk work at height without proper access. For areas beyond safe reach, we may recommend temporary towers or a specialist partner.
• Ivy that has grown into unstable masonry, cracked render, or unsafe structures may require a builder’s input before full removal.
• Large trees with heavy ivy loads or protected trees may need arboricultural advice. We can provide a separate quote or collaborate with a qualified tree specialist.
• Electrical, telecoms, and satellite cables: we proceed with caution and may need the property owner or provider’s confirmation before detaching growth.
• Japanese ivy-like species are uncommon; if invasive identification is in doubt, we can pause and advise on the next steps.

If your site has unusual access restrictions, limited parking, or requires out-of-hours work, we can tailor an approach—please mention this when you enquire.

How It Works

1. Enquiry and Advice
   Get in touch with your details, photos, and a brief description of areas affected (walls, fences, trees, gutters). Use our Get a Quote form or call the team.

2. Site Assessment
   For straightforward jobs, we can often quote from photos. For larger or sensitive sites in North London, we may arrange a short visit to confirm access, height, and disposal needs.

3. Clear, Written Quote
   We outline the scope: ivy cutting and clearing, sections to be fully removed, any root treatments to prevent regrowth, and how we’ll dispose of ivy and green waste. Timing is also indicated, subject to weather and safe access.

4. Scheduled Appointment
   We book a convenient slot and confirm any preparations (e.g., moving garden furniture, ensuring gate access). We work across N postcodes and can coordinate with tenants, caretakers, or managing agents.

5. Safe Removal
   Our team carefully removes ivy from fences and walls, sheds, and small trees, using the right technique for the surface. We protect adjacent beds and hardstanding and keep pathways usable.

6. Root Treatment and Finishing
   Where requested, we treat roots to help prevent regrowth and give guidance on follow-up checks. We sweep up, bag, and remove debris for licensed disposal.

7. Follow-Up and Maintenance
   We can arrange periodic checks, light re-growth trims, or integrate ivy monitoring into a wider garden maintenance plan.

Pricing Guide

Ivy removal pricing and timing depend on:

• Coverage and density: how far ivy has spread across walls, fences, sheds, or trees
• Height and access: ladders, towers, or confined spaces can affect duration
• Surface type and condition: brick, render, old timber, or fragile structures require different techniques
• Root systems: depth and spread influence the work needed to treat roots to prevent regrowth
• Waste volume: the amount of debris to be cut, loaded, and removed
• Frequency: one-off clearance vs. staged removal or scheduled maintenance

We aim to give a clear, itemised quote once we understand the scope. For tailored pricing, visit our Pricing page or request a fast estimate via Get a Quote.

Local Service In North London

We understand the mix of property types across North London and the wider N area—from terraced homes with alleyway access to blocks with shared courtyards and commercial facades. Ivy can weave behind downpipes, lift pointing on older brickwork, and overtop fences between neighbours. We plan around:

• Narrow side returns, steps, and basement lightwells
• Resident access times and caretaker coordination
• Permit, driveway, or on-street parking requirements
• Waste removal routes that avoid tracking debris through common halls

We work neatly, communicate clearly, and respect the surrounding properties and planting typical in North London.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

• Trained Teams: Our gardeners are experienced with ivy from trees, fences, and walls, using safe techniques to remove ivy from brick walls safely without unnecessary surface damage.
• Equipment: Sharp, well-maintained cutting tools, extendable hand saws, and appropriate access equipment for controlled removal and cleanup.
• Risk Management: Job-specific risk assessments for larger sites. We plan for safe working at height, manual handling, and dust/debris control.
• Insurance: We hold appropriate insurance for our work. For details, see Insurance.
• Disposal: Ivy and green waste are segregated, loaded carefully, and taken for licensed disposal to keep your site clear and compliant.
• Environmental Considerations: Where possible, we avoid removing ivy that shelters wildlife during nesting periods. If we encounter active nests, we’ll pause and agree a revised plan.
• Aftercare: Practical advice on light maintenance, watering for stressed plants once ivy is removed, and scheduling to reduce reattachment.

FAQs

• Can you remove ivy from my brick walls safely?
  Yes—our approach is to cut and section ivy, easing tendrils away to minimise disturbance. On older or fragile pointing we proceed slowly and may recommend staged removal.

• Do you remove ivy from small trees and shrubs?
  We carefully disentangle ivy from small trees to reduce weight and restore light. For larger or protected trees, we can recommend a specialist or quote with appropriate controls.

• Will you treat roots to prevent regrowth?
  We can treat roots where appropriate and provide guidance on monitoring. Some sites benefit from a follow-up visit to manage any new shoots.

• Can you cut back ivy on fences and sheds without damage?
  We use hand tools and gentle techniques around timber fixings and cladding. If panels are decayed, we’ll flag any risks before proceeding.

• What preparation should I do before you arrive?
  Please clear access routes, move vehicles where possible, and relocate delicate pots or furniture near the work area. Let us know about pets or restricted gates.

• How long does ivy cutting and clearing take?
  Duration depends on coverage, height, access, and waste volume. We’ll indicate likely timing in your quote and keep you updated if conditions change.

• Do you dispose of ivy and green waste?
  Yes, we remove and dispose of ivy and green waste as part of the service unless you prefer to keep it onsite.

• Are you available across the N area?
  We book appointments across N postcodes, including varied access situations in North London.
