Greenwich · SE10 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Greenwich Peninsula fitters · Fixed written pricesGreenwich Peninsula SE10 is a regular stop on our Greenwich round. The O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks, 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
This page prices construction site clearance for Greenwich Peninsula SE10 specifically: recent new-build stock, 25% privately rented and 3,769 households in total. Work starts at £180, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block.
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. North Greenwich (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE10, often with surface conduit — where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE10, 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 — measured on the walk in from North Greenwich (Jubilee) rather than assumed from a map.
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. |

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

Working in Greenwich Peninsula
Census 2021 puts Greenwich Peninsula at 3,769 households with a median age of 32.6. The recent new-build stock is social-housing-led, which is why 22% houses and 78% flats need different handling in SE10.
25% of households rent privately and 44% own, which is why construction site clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Greenwich Peninsula substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE10, often with surface conduit — where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from North Greenwich (Jubilee) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE10 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Greenwich Peninsula knows the pattern near The O2 Arena: the O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks. We plan the SE10 visit around it. Greenwich Peninsula is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block. Nearest station is North Greenwich (Jubilee), 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 Greenwich Peninsula across SE10, with 44% owner-occupation locally — and 32% one-person households here, 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 in this 78% flats neighbourhood — and 31% social-rented stock nearby, with 32% one-person households here.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Greenwich, with 78% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenwich Peninsula most weeks in this 78% flats neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Greenwich Peninsula rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Greenwich. With 78% of Greenwich Peninsula homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 78% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with The O2 Arena a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Two to three working days for a scheduled clear, next day where a site inspection or handover date has moved across SE10, with this being a short walk from North Greenwich (Jubilee). Out-of-hours starts are available in the noise-restricted central boroughs on the streets near The O2 Arena. Greenwich Peninsula sits close to North Greenwich (Jubilee) on SE10 jobs, with 31% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a SE10 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice.
