Kensington and Chelsea · W10 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Westbourne Park fitters · Fixed written pricesBuilding waste clearance for Westbourne Park (W10) households — 3,175 of them, 94% in flats. From £70 fixed, 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 Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Westbourne Park, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 94% of Westbourne Park's 3,175 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W10 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
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. Canal bridges limit turning, resident bays are permit-only and towpath access is on foot.
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. Westbourne Park (Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W10, often with surface conduit — which is what a 94% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Westbourne Park actually produces in W10, 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 — measured on the walk in from Westbourne Park (Circle, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map.
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 →

Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W10, often with surface conduit — which is what a 94% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Westbourne Park actually produces behind the plaster in W10. 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 on these streets — measured on the walk in from Westbourne Park (Circle, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Westbourne Park knows the pattern near The Grand Union Canal towpath: canal-side streets between Notting Hill and Paddington with a strong market culture.

Canal bridges limit turning, resident bays are permit-only and towpath access is on foot. Nearest station is Westbourne Park (Circle, Hammersmith & City), 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.

Bagged rubble, per cubic yard starts at £70 in Westbourne Park, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory — and 71% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Weight and the number of waste streams, not just how much space the pile takes around Westbourne Park (Circle, Hammersmith & City). A yard of plasterboard and a yard of wet rubble are two different gate fees at the transfer station on the streets near The Grand Union Canal towpath, with 3,175 households on this patch.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 94% flats neighbourhood, with 39% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Westbourne Park most weeks on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Westbourne Park rounds, with 71% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Westbourne Park (W10) addresses. With 94% of Westbourne Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near The Grand Union Canal towpath, with 39% one-person households here — and this being a short walk from Westbourne Park (Circle, Hammersmith & City), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for construction and demolition waste across W10. Inert rubble goes to an aggregate recycling facility, plasterboard to a dedicated gypsum route and timber to a wood recycling site on the streets near The Grand Union Canal towpath, with 71% social-rented stock nearby — and 16% of W10 homes being privately rented, with a transfer note issued for every load. That paperwork is what most Kensington and Chelsea letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on W10 jobs, with 94% of homes here being flats.
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 for Westbourne Park (W10) addresses, which is demolition rather than clearance; Contaminated or Japanese-knotweed-affected soil — and The Grand Union Canal towpath a few streets away, with 16% of W10 homes being privately rented, which needs a permitted disposal route. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Westbourne Park W10 price you agree is the price you pay in this 94% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Westbourne Park (Circle, Hammersmith & City).
All three. With 16% of Westbourne Park privately rented and 13% owner-occupied, roughly half the W10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Westbourne Park (W10) addresses — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, with The Grand Union Canal towpath a few streets away.
