Greenwich · SE10 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Greenwich Peninsula fitters · Fixed written pricesBuilding waste clearance in Greenwich Peninsula SE10, Greenwich, from £70. The O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks, which is why our SE10 quotes account for event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around North Greenwich, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 78% of Greenwich Peninsula's 3,769 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE10 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
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Greenwich Peninsula, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The O2 Arena in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE10, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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. Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block.
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. North Greenwich (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 →

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Greenwich Peninsula, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The O2 Arena, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich Peninsula is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE10, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Two streets can behave very differently in Greenwich Peninsula: the O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Greenwich Peninsula is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
