Kensington and Chelsea · W10 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local North Kensington fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for building waste clearance in North Kensington W10? We work in North Kensington most weeks — dense residential streets between the Westway and Wormwood Scrubs — and price building waste clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £70, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices building waste clearance for North Kensington W10 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 23% privately rented and 3,820 households in total. Work starts at £70, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks.
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. Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in W10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is North Kensington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Westway Sports Centre.
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 North Kensington
North Kensington W10 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 81% of homes here are flats and 19% are houses, across 3,820 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 23% of North Kensington is privately rented and 46% socially rented, a lot of W10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
North Kensington substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because North Kensington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Westway Sports Centre is the mistake that costs a W10 customer twice.
Dense residential streets between the Westway and Wormwood Scrubs. That character decides the practical detail of building waste clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. North Kensington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks — 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 Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City).
