Kensington and Chelsea · W11 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Notting Hill fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for building waste clearance in Notting Hill W11? We work in Notting Hill most weeks — pastel terraces, communal garden squares and the carnival's home streets — 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
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Notting Hill Gate, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 75% of Notting Hill's 9,720 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W11 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
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. Carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access.
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. Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Notting Hill, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Portobello Road Market.
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 Notting Hill
9,720 households sit inside the W11 neighbourhood covering Notting Hill. The build is mixed-era, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 75% of those homes are flats.
Because 43% of Notting Hill is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of W11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in W11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Notting Hill, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Portobello Road Market is the fault we are called back to undo.
Pastel terraces, communal garden squares and the carnival's home streets. That character decides the practical detail of building waste clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Notting Hill 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, carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access — 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 Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle, District).
