Hackney · E9 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Hackney Wick fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide building waste clearance in Hackney Wick E9 for houses and flats around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. From £70, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Hackney Wick, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 69% of Hackney Wick's 2,805 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E9 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
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. Hackney Wick (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 31% one-person households in Hackney Wick, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in E9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Hackney Wick stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
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. Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures.
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 Hackney Wick
In Hackney Wick (E9) the split is 69% flats to 31% houses over 2,805 households, and the stock is post-war.
With 28% private renting against 28% owner-occupied, most E9 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 31% one-person households in Hackney Wick, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Hackney Wick is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Hackney Wick stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Hackney Wick is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — canal-side studios and warehouse blocks facing the Olympic Park — which is why a E9 quote is not a Hackney average.
On access, narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Hackney Wick (Overground).

Bagged rubble, per cubic yard starts at £70 in Hackney Wick across E9, with 28% owner-occupation locally — and Hackney parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Weight and the number of waste streams, not just how much space the pile takes on this side of Hackney. A yard of plasterboard and a yard of wet rubble are two different gate fees at the transfer station for Hackney Wick (E9) addresses, with 28% of E9 homes being privately rented.

With 69% of Hackney Wick homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on E9 jobs, with The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a few streets away — and this being London Borough of Hackney territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Asbestos in any form — insulation board, textured coating or cement sheet — which needs a licensed contractor; Paint, solvents, adhesives and gas bottles on the streets near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Breaking out concrete, slabs or structural elements, with 28% owner-occupation locally — and 69% of homes here being flats, which is demolition rather than clearance; Contaminated or Japanese-knotweed-affected soil, which needs a permitted disposal route. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Hackney Wick E9 price you agree is the price you pay on Hackney bookings, with 45% social-rented stock nearby.
