Bromley · BR5 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Petts Wood fitters · Fixed written pricesPetts Wood BR5 is a regular stop on our Bromley round. A planned 1930s commuter suburb with a conservation-area shopping parade, so construction site clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £180, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Petts Wood, construction site clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 8% of Petts Wood's 2,972 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in BR5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
We look at the working face, the route out and the frontage, because the distance from the waste to the vehicle is what actually sets the labour cost.
Step 2
Inert, timber, plasterboard and general are separated at source, which lowers the gate cost and keeps the site's recovery rate defensible.
Step 3
Suspension, permit or a booked loading window arranged in advance so the vehicle is not moved on mid-load.
Step 4
Loads scheduled around the trades rather than dumped at the end, so the walkways and welfare stay compliant throughout.
Step 5
Final sweep, photographs and the transfer notes for every load returned for the site file.
Why choose us
Two operatives with a 3.5t tipper as standard, scaling to four operatives and a 7.5t vehicle on strip-outs or where the waste has to be barrowed a long way to the frontage. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
Two to three working days for a scheduled clear, next day where a site inspection or handover date has moved. Out-of-hours starts are available in the noise-restricted central boroughs. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
Environment Agency registered upper-tier waste carrier. Every load is segregated, weighed in at a permitted transfer station and receipted with a waste transfer note naming the site, so the principal contractor's duty of care record stays complete.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single load, mixed site waste | £180 | 1–2 hrs | A Luton load of mixed timber, packaging and offcuts, segregated on the van so the inert fraction is not charged at the mixed-waste gate rate. |
| Inert rubble only, per tonne | £145 | 1–2 hrs | Clean brick, block and concrete goes to a recycling site as aggregate feedstock and is charged by weight, not volume, because it is dense and heavy. |
| Plasterboard, segregated, per tonne | £210 | 1–2 hrs | Gypsum has to be kept out of general and inert waste by law and goes to a dedicated recovery site, which charges more per tonne than rubble. |
| Fit-out strip-out clearance, per day | £720 | 8 hrs | Two operatives, a tipper and repeat runs for a first-fix or second-fix strip-out where waste is generated faster than one load can take it. |
| Site tidy and welfare clear, per visit | £240 | 2–3 hrs | A scheduled tidy that keeps walkways, welfare and the loading zone compliant between trades rather than one clear at the end. |
| Final handover clear and sweep | £420 | 4–6 hrs | Everything out, floors swept and the site left inspection-ready for the client walk-round, which is the visit most likely to run past its estimate if it is left to the last trade on site. |

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.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.
