Keeping a school site clean, safe and presentable takes consistent, professional care. Our teams support schools around Bermondsey Street and London Bridge with lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and seasonal planting. We work around drop-off times, assemblies and after-school clubs to reduce disruption. Whether you need a weekly visit or termly deep tidy, we build a plan that fits your site.
Bermondsey’s mix of converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments often means school grounds range from compact courtyards to larger multi-use spaces. We’re used to tight access, shared entrances and storage limitations common across SE1 and SE16. If your school borders busy routes near Tower Bridge or Surrey Quays, we plan quieter operations and efficient loading. The result is dependable upkeep without turning the site into a building yard.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware notes and a seasonal schedule covering weed control, tree care, and sports pitch care. You’ll receive clear visit reports, before/after photos on request, and practical recommendations rather than upselling. Our operatives arrive on time, work cleanly, and leave paths, play areas and entrances safe. That consistency is why local schools and site managers rely on us year after year.
We understand the practicalities of school grounds maintenance in London Borough of Southwark, including busy streets, restricted parking and time-sensitive access. Bermondsey sites can have shaded courtyards and compact lawns that need careful mowing and weed control. We plan visits to suit caretaker availability and safeguarding requirements. Where needed, we use quieter equipment and tidy loading to keep neighbours onside.

Costs vary by site size, visit frequency and what’s included (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance, pitch care and tree work). As a guide, small sites can start from around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger campuses with pitches and trees are often £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off clear-ups typically range from £350–£1,800 depending on waste and access.
A routine visit for a smaller Bermondsey school can take 1–3 hours, while larger sites with sports pitches and multiple play areas may need a half day to a full day. Termly or holiday deep-maintenance sessions can run 1–3 days depending on hedge lengths, tree care, weed pressure and waste removal. Access constraints, safeguarding sign-in, and weather (especially for mowing and pitch work) also affect timings.
Most day-to-day grounds maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, litter collection, planting and routine playground checks—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area rules, and waste disposal must follow licensed carrier requirements. We’ll flag anything that may need consent and help you confirm with Southwark guidance before work starts, keeping records for site compliance.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed elements we supply and fit (for example, certain hard landscaping or constructed features associated with the grounds), subject to proper use and routine maintenance. For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee visits are completed to the agreed schedule and specification, with any missed items rectified promptly. We also operate clear reporting so issues are logged and resolved quickly.
We tailor choices to how pupils use the space and how much upkeep you want. Popular options include seasonal planting in robust beds, low-maintenance shrubs, shade-tolerant turf improvements, and pitch renovation programmes (aeration, overseeding and topdressing). For playground areas, we can advise on safer surfacing upkeep, edging and drainage around high-traffic zones. We’ll recommend options based on light levels, soil condition and budget.
