Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Hampstead, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 84% of Hampstead's 11,433 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW3 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
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. Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond.
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. Hampstead (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in NW3, with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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
| 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 Hampstead
Walk Hampstead from Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 84% of the 11,433 households in NW3 live in flats, 17% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 39% in Hampstead, so alongside the 45% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Hampstead substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in NW3, with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a NW3 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Hampstead knows the pattern near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House: georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep. We plan the NW3 visit around it. Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond. Hampstead (Northern) 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.
