Camden · NW6 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Hampstead fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking building waste clearance near West End Lane? Very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts, 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 renter-heavy households around West Hampstead, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 88% of West Hampstead's 4,309 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW6 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. Very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts.
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. West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map in NW6, 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 what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering West Hampstead actually produces.
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 West Hampstead
West Hampstead NW6 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 88% of homes here are flats and 12% are houses, across 4,309 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 49% private renting against 30% owner-occupied, most NW6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in West Hampstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering West Hampstead actually produces.
Three stations, a busy high street and streets of red-brick Victorian conversions. That character decides the practical detail of building waste clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. West 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: very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts. West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) 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.
