Lewisham · SE13 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Hither Green fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide building waste clearance in Hither Green SE13 for houses and flats around Manor House Gardens. From £70, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Hither Green, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 64% of Hither Green's 3,309 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE13 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
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. Hither Green (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Hither Green (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Hither Green stock goes, the reality on the streets around Manor House Gardens.
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. Narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station.
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 Hither Green
3,309 households sit inside the SE13 neighbourhood covering Hither Green. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 64% of those homes are flats.
Because 34% of Hither Green is privately rented and 20% socially rented, a lot of SE13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Hither Green (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE13. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Hither Green stock goes, the reality on the streets around Manor House Gardens is the fault we are called back to undo.
Hither Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — quiet Edwardian streets around Staplehurst Road's small parade — which is why a SE13 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station. Hither Green (Southeastern) is the nearest station, 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 Hither Green for Hither Green (SE13) addresses, with 46% owner-occupation locally, 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 on the streets near Manor House Gardens. A yard of plasterboard and a yard of wet rubble are two different gate fees at the transfer station on Lewisham bookings, with 34% of SE13 homes being privately rented.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Hither Green rounds, with this being a short walk from Hither Green (Southeastern). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hither Green most weeks on Lewisham bookings, with 34% of SE13 homes being privately rented.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Hither Green (SE13) addresses, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Lewisham. With 64% of Hither Green homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SE13, with 34% of SE13 homes being privately rented — and 30% one-person households here, 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 on the Hither Green rounds — and Manor House Gardens a few streets away, with 30% one-person households here, which is demolition rather than clearance; Contaminated or Japanese-knotweed-affected soil, which needs a permitted disposal route. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Hither Green SE13 price you agree is the price you pay on SE13 jobs, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
All three. With 34% of Hither Green privately rented and 46% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 64% flats neighbourhood — and 3,309 households on this patch, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Manor House Gardens is the marker we route to for Hither Green (SE13) addresses, with 34% of SE13 homes being privately rented, and narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station. A SE13 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Manor House Gardens, with this being a short walk from Hither Green (Southeastern).
