Bexley · DA1 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Crayford fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking building waste clearance near Crayford Greyhound Stadium? Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £70 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Crayford, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 28% of Crayford's 9,135 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in DA1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Rubble, plasterboard, timber or mixed, roughly how many yards, and the floor it sits on. That is enough for a fixed price.
Step 2
We book around the trade schedule — a strip-out on Monday and the make-good on Wednesday get two separate collections.
Step 3
Hall, stairs and lift lobby sheeted before loading starts, because rubble dust in a communal area is charged back to the leaseholder.
Step 4
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
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
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.
Two crew and a Luton on most strip-outs; three crew and a tipper where the load is rubble, hardcore or soil and weight rather than volume decides the run. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
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. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Crayford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in DA1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Crayford gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
| 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
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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.
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 →

Working in Crayford
Crayford DA1 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 28% of homes here are flats and 72% are houses, across 9,135 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 16% private renting against 57% owner-occupied, most DA1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect solid London stock brick in Crayford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in DA1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Crayford gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
The Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. That character decides the practical detail of building waste clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on most strip-outs; three crew and a tipper where the load is rubble, hardcore or soil and weight rather than volume decides the run.
