Wandsworth · SW17 · Building waste clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Tooting fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide building waste clearance in Tooting SW17 for houses and flats around Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido. 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 renter-heavy households around Tooting Broadway, building waste clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 60% of Tooting's 22,241 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW17 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. Tooting Broadway (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW17 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 28% one-person households in Tooting, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW17, 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 Tooting, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido.
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. Broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced streets.
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 Tooting
22,241 households sit inside the SW17 neighbourhood covering Tooting. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 60% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (43% owned, 40% privately rented) means a SW17 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 28% one-person households in Tooting, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Tooting is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Tooting, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido.
Tooting 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 — two covered markets, St George's Hospital and one of London's best food streets — which is why a SW17 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced streets. Nearest station is Tooting Broadway (Northern), 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 Tooting on SW17 jobs, with 40% of SW17 homes being privately rented, 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 Tooting Broadway (Northern). A yard of plasterboard and a yard of wet rubble are two different gate fees at the transfer station across SW17, with 40% of Tooting homes being houses.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Tooting Broadway (Northern), with 40% of SW17 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Tooting most weeks on SW17 jobs, with Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido a few streets away.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Tooting (SW17) addresses, with 16% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SW17 jobs. With 60% of Tooting homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Tooting rounds, with 28% one-person households here — and 16% social-rented stock nearby, 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 on SW17 jobs, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Breaking out concrete, slabs or structural elements, which is demolition rather than clearance; Contaminated or Japanese-knotweed-affected soil, with 43% owner-occupation locally, which needs a permitted disposal route. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Tooting SW17 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido, with 16% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 40% of Tooting privately rented and 43% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW17 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Wandsworth bookings — and 16% social-rented stock nearby, with 28% one-person households here.
Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido is the marker we route to on the Tooting rounds, with Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido a few streets away, and broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced streets. A SW17 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SW17 jobs, with 40% of SW17 homes being privately rented.
