Overview

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. Busy Sunday-to-Friday schedules around Shabbat, narrow driveways and steep front steps.
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. Stamford Hill (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Springfield Park 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 on these streets — and with 29% one-person households in Stamford Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 →

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Stamford Hill rounds, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Stamford Hill most weeks for Stamford Hill (N16) addresses, with a median age of 26 in this neighbourhood.

With 76% of Stamford Hill homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Stamford Hill rounds — and 7,892 households on this patch, with 24% of Stamford Hill homes being houses, 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, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Breaking out concrete, slabs or structural elements across N16, with Springfield Park a few streets away, which is demolition rather than clearance; Contaminated or Japanese-knotweed-affected soil — and 40% of N16 homes being privately rented, which needs a permitted disposal route. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Stamford Hill N16 price you agree is the price you pay on the Stamford Hill rounds, with 40% of N16 homes being privately rented.
