How long to clear brambles and rubbish from garden?

If I employ a reputable handyman, how long should it take to clear a small garden (roughly 5m x 7m) that's overgrown with brambles? I suspect there may be a bit of rubbish and rubble hidden in there too.

"I’m afraid that this is a how long is a piece of string question. How dense are the Brambles, how much of the ground do they cover. They’ll need their roots digging out. I’d allow 2- 3 days minimum for one man. Regards, David."

"It can take a few hours , as it may depend what materials are being disposed, if it just basic garden waste, it will only take max 2 hours but if other variety of material is found such as plastic or metals, then these have to be organised and seperated from other waste, hence this may add another hour or so."

"Is the whole area full of brambles or just around the perimeter? Photos would help in getting an estimate. Could be 2 - 5 days work, possibly more."

"In my experience for that size garden should take 3/4 hours. Its the breaking down of the brambles that take time.

Hope that helps.
