Richmond upon Thames · TW10 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Richmond Hill and Ham fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide building waste clearance in Richmond Hill and Ham TW10 for houses and flats around Ham House and the Richmond Hill view. 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 owner-occupier-led households around Richmond, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 35% of Richmond Hill and Ham's 2,156 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW10 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. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) rather than assumed from a map in TW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Richmond Hill and Ham stock goes, and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits.
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 Richmond Hill and Ham
Richmond Hill and Ham TW10 is Georgian and early Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 35% of homes here are flats and 65% are houses, across 2,156 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 15% private renting against 58% owner-occupied, most TW10 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Richmond Hill and Ham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Richmond Hill and Ham stock goes, and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Richmond Hill and Ham 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 — the protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below — which is why a TW10 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) 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.

Asbestos in any form — insulation board, textured coating or cement sheet — which needs a licensed contractor; Paint, solvents, adhesives and gas bottles in this 35% flats neighbourhood, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Breaking out concrete, slabs or structural elements — and Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, with Ham House and the Richmond Hill view a few streets away, which is demolition rather than clearance; Contaminated or Japanese-knotweed-affected soil, which needs a permitted disposal route.
