FAQ

Common questions

What areas do you cover?

We're based in Streatham and cover most of South London — roughly 10 miles in every direction. That includes Brixton, Clapham, Balham, Tooting, Dulwich, Herne Hill, Norwood, Crystal Palace, Peckham, Putney, Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Mitcham, Croydon and more. If you're not sure, just call us on 07341 741 525 and we'll tell you straight away.

Do you do one-off jobs, or only regular bookings?

Both. One-off clearances, single mows, a hedge that needs a cut once a year — all fine. We also do regular maintenance on a weekly or fortnightly basis. No pressure to sign up for anything ongoing.

How overgrown is too overgrown?

Honestly, not much stops us. We handle heavily neglected gardens, bramble-filled plots, ivy takeovers, years of leaf build-up — the worse it is, the more satisfying the result. Send us a photo if you're not sure and we'll give you an honest answer.

Do I need to be home while you work?

Not necessarily. As long as we can access the garden and you're happy for us to get on with it, you don't need to be there. We'll confirm everything beforehand and let you know when we're done.

Do you work for landlords and letting agents?

Yes — end of tenancy garden clearance is something we do regularly. We understand void periods cost money, so we work quickly and efficiently. We're also happy to discuss ongoing maintenance across multiple properties.

How do I get a quote?

Call us on 07341 741 525, email roger@rakeiteasy.co.uk, or use the contact form on this site. A photo of the garden helps us give you a more accurate quote before we visit. We aim to get back to you as soon as we can.

Are you based locally?

Yes. Rake it Easy is run by Roger, based in Streatham, South London. This isn't a large company dispatching strangers — it's Roger and a small trusted team who live and work in the same area as you.
