Camden · NW5 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Dartmouth Park fitters · Fixed written pricesDartmouth Park NW5 is a regular stop on our Camden round. Steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath, 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 social-housing-led households around Tufnell Park, construction site clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 72% of Dartmouth Park's 3,395 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW5 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. Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions.
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. Tufnell Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW5, often with surface conduit — and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in NW5, 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 — which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.

Working in Dartmouth Park
Census 2021 puts Dartmouth Park at 3,395 households with a median age of 41.9. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 28% houses and 72% flats need different handling in NW5.
Owner-occupation runs at 45% in Dartmouth Park, so alongside the 18% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW5, often with surface conduit — and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in NW5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Dartmouth Park knows the pattern near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields: steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. We plan the NW5 visit around it. Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions. Nearest station is Tufnell Park (Northern), and 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.

Single load, mixed site waste starts at £180 in Dartmouth Park on this side of Camden — and 45% owner-occupation locally, with 72% of homes here being flats, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Waste type first, then carry distance. Clean rubble is cheap by weight and expensive by volume; plasterboard has to be kept separate by law; and waste that has to be barrowed from a third floor to a restricted frontage costs more in labour than it does at the tip gate around Tufnell Park (Northern), with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood.
