Hackney · N16 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Newington Green fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide building waste clearance in Newington Green N16 for houses and flats around Newington Green's 1658 terrace. 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 Canonbury, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 89% of Newington Green's 3,496 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N16 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. Canonbury (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in N16, 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 Newington Green stock goes, the reality on the streets around Newington Green's 1658 terrace.
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. Green-side loading limits, one-way streets and permit bays all week.
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 Newington Green
3,496 households sit inside the N16 neighbourhood covering Newington Green. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 89% of those homes are flats.
With 29% private renting against 24% owner-occupied, most N16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in N16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Newington Green stock goes, the reality on the streets around Newington Green's 1658 terrace is the fault we are called back to undo.
Newington Green 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 — historic green with London's oldest brick terrace, ringed by cafés and conversions — which is why a N16 quote is not a Hackney average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: green-side loading limits, one-way streets and permit bays all week. Canonbury (Overground) 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.

That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Hackney. With 89% of Newington Green homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across N16 — and Hackney parking rules in play, with Newington Green's 1658 terrace a few streets away, 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 in this 89% flats neighbourhood, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Breaking out concrete, slabs or structural elements, with 24% owner-occupation locally — and 11% of Newington Green homes being houses, which is demolition rather than clearance; Contaminated or Japanese-knotweed-affected soil, which needs a permitted disposal route.
