Fixed prices

Building waste clearance prices in Havering

These are the Havering floor prices for a builders' waste collection. Weight and the number of waste streams, not just how much space the pile takes. A yard of plasterboard and a yard of wet rubble are two different gate fees at the transfer station. In this borough the additional variables are ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Building waste clearance price guide for Havering
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Bagged rubble, per cubic yard£70By volumeRubble 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£15045–75 minTimber, plasterboard and packaging have to be split at the transfer station, which costs more than a single stream.
Half-load builders' waste£2401–2 hrsA typical bathroom or small kitchen strip-out, loaded from inside the property rather than the kerb.
Full Luton load£4202–4 hrsFull van, two crew and the gate fee, with mixed construction waste sorted for recycling on arrival.
Plasterboard, per half load£1901–2 hrsGypsum is banned from mixed landfill cells and must go to a dedicated facility, which charges separately.
Soil, hardcore and inert spoil, per yard£80By volumeHeavy inert loads are weighed in, and a yard of wet soil can be twice the weight of a yard of timber.

Domestic prices are the total you pay; builder, contractor and landlord invoices are plus VAT at 20%. Loading from inside the property, dismantling and the waste transfer note are included. Where a bay suspension, skip-alternative permit, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote.

Working in Havering

Why Havering is not a generic London job

Romford Market, chartered in 1247 is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Havering.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Havering is interwar and post-war semis, bungalows in upminster and new flats around romford station, and the mix changes street by street — Collier Row (RM5), Cranham (RM14) and Elm Park (RM12) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

On the ground, driveways and wide roads throughout; only romford town centre needs bay suspensions. Locally that means wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading and the easiest access in london — wide roads, drives and level thresholds. Havering sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Havering rules

London Borough of Havering runs bulky-waste collections and a reuse and recycling centre, and for one or two items in Havering that is a fair option. It stops being useful on size limits, same-week deadlines and anything lifted out of a commercial unit or a communal area — those are the loads we take, under our waste carrier licence, with a transfer note issued on the day.

How the borough got this way

Essex market towns and farmland that became commuter suburbia after the LMS and District lines arrived. That history is why Havering property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Havering

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Collier Row or Upminster.

Included in the price

  • Two crew who load from inside the property — nothing has to be dragged to the kerb first
  • Rubble, timber, plasterboard, tiles, packaging and old sanitaryware taken in one visit
  • Separation into inert, gypsum, timber and mixed streams before the load leaves site
  • Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with the carrier registration number on it

Not included

  • 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, which is demolition rather than clearance

Local questions

Building waste clearance in Havering — your questions

  • How much does a builders' waste collection cost in Havering?

    Bagged rubble, per cubic yard starts at £70 in Havering, and the ladder runs up to £80 for the largest job on the table above. Weight and the number of waste streams, not just how much space the pile takes. A yard of plasterboard and a yard of wet rubble are two different gate fees at the transfer station. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Havering postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: RM1, RM11, RM12, RM13, RM14, RM2, RM3, RM5 and RM7. On the ground that includes Collier Row, Cranham, Elm Park, Gidea Park, Harold Wood and Harold Hill and Hornchurch.

  • How quickly can you get to Havering?

    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. East London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Havering?

    Driveways and wide roads throughout; only Romford town centre needs bay suspensions. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Havering and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Havering flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Interwar and post-war semis, bungalows in Upminster and new flats around Romford station is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Havering?

    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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Havering tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Havering postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 and Breaking out concrete, slabs or structural elements, which is demolition rather than clearance. If something on that list turns up in Havering, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
