Overview
Building waste clearance in Friern Barnet and New Southgate N11, explained
This page prices building waste clearance for Friern Barnet and New Southgate N11 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 4,005 households in total. Work starts at £70, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Barnet permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How building waste clearance works in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
Five steps, the same on every N11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Friern Barnet and New Southgate stock goes, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the streams and the volume
Rubble, plasterboard, timber or mixed, roughly how many yards, and the floor it sits on. That is enough for a fixed price.
Step 2
Slot booked to the programme
We book around the trade schedule — a strip-out on Monday and the make-good on Wednesday get two separate collections.
Step 3
Protect the route
Hall, stairs and lift lobby sheeted before loading starts, because rubble dust in a communal area is charged back to the leaseholder.
Step 4
Load and separate
Loaded by hand from where the waste actually is, with gypsum kept out of the mixed stream so the tip does not reject the load.
Step 5
Weigh in and receipt
Weighed in at a licensed transfer station and the transfer note issued the same day for your file or the building control record.
Why choose us
Why Friern Barnet and New Southgate customers book us
What follows is specific to Friern Barnet and New Southgate: its walls, its access and the paperwork Barnet agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Next-day across every borough as standard, with same-day collection common where a trade programme has slipped and the site has to be clear. New Southgate (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Friern Barnet and New Southgate walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in N11, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Princess Park Manor in N11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for construction and demolition waste. Inert rubble goes to an aggregate recycling facility, plasterboard to a dedicated gypsum route and timber to a wood recycling site, with a transfer note issued for every load.
Fixed prices
Building waste clearance prices in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
Fixed prices for N11 and the rest of Barnet. Weight and the number of waste streams, not just how much space the pile takes. A yard of plasterboard and a yard of wet rubble are two different gate fees at the transfer station.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bagged rubble, per cubic yard | £70 | By volume | Rubble is capped by weight rather than space, so it is priced per yard against the tip's inert-waste rate. |
| Quarter-load mixed construction waste | £150 | 45–75 min | Timber, plasterboard and packaging have to be split at the transfer station, which costs more than a single stream. |
| Half-load builders' waste | £240 | 1–2 hrs | A typical bathroom or small kitchen strip-out, loaded from inside the property rather than the kerb. |
| Full Luton load | £420 | 2–4 hrs | Full van, two crew and the gate fee, with mixed construction waste sorted for recycling on arrival. |
| Plasterboard, per half load | £190 | 1–2 hrs | Gypsum is banned from mixed landfill cells and must go to a dedicated facility, which charges separately. |
| Soil, hardcore and inert spoil, per yard | £80 | By volume | Heavy inert loads are weighed in, and a yard of wet soil can be twice the weight of a yard of timber. |

Scope
What's included in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
The same scope across N11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On N11 jobs: two crew who load from inside the property — nothing has to be dragged to the kerb first, agreed on the doorstep in Friern Barnet and New Southgate before anything is unpacked
- In Friern Barnet and New Southgate: rubble, timber, plasterboard, tiles, packaging and old sanitaryware taken in one visit, timed against the walk in from New Southgate (Great Northern)
- Separation into inert, gypsum, timber and mixed streams before the load leaves site, noted on the Friern Barnet and New Southgate job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Barnet bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with the carrier registration number on it, allowing for the 30% of N11 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On N11 jobs: floor protection through the hallway and communal areas on flat and block work, with 47% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Friern Barnet and New Southgate: same-day and next-morning slots so a trade programme is not held up waiting on a skip permit, the way it is done on Friern Barnet and New Southgate jobs
Not included
- Asbestos in any form — insulation board, textured coating or cement sheet — which needs a licensed contractor, and we will say so before the N11 visit rather than on the day
- Paint, solvents, adhesives and gas bottles, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier, outside the fixed price on Friern Barnet and New Southgate bookings
- Breaking out concrete, slabs or structural elements, which is demolition rather than clearance, quoted separately if you need it arranged in N11
- Contaminated or Japanese-knotweed-affected soil, which needs a permitted disposal route, which we refer on to the right trade in Friern Barnet and New Southgate

Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.
★★★★★Trustpilot
Very good experience. House was filthy after lots of building works and previous owners not really looking after it (the bathroom was disgusting). After 4 hours of cleaning my house looks like a brand new home and smells clean again, no more dust/rubble and the bathroom looks so clean I could eat off the floor… Read in full →
