You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Bethnal Green, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 88% of Bethnal Green's 13,403 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E2 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. Sunday market closures, LTN filters and tower blocks with a single small lift.
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. Bethnal Green (Central, Overground) is the nearest station, so a E2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 31% one-person households in Bethnal Green, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in E2, 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 — a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 →
