Kensington and Chelsea · W11 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Holland Park fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide construction site clearance in Holland Park W11 for houses and flats around Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden.

Overview
Construction site clearance in Holland Park W11 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 3,387 households sit inside this W11 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden rather than a London average.
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
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.
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 on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors.
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. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 37% one-person households in Holland Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W11, 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 Holland Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Holland Park actually produces.
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 Holland Park
3,387 households sit inside the W11 neighbourhood covering Holland Park. The build is period conversion, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 80% of those homes are flats.
Because 43% of Holland Park is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of W11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Holland Park substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 37% one-person households in Holland Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Holland Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Holland Park actually produces is the mistake that costs a W11 customer twice.
Wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum. That character decides the practical detail of construction site clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Holland 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.
Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. Nearest station is Holland Park (Central), 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 Holland Park on the Holland Park rounds, with 3,387 households on this patch, 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 on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden — and 17% social-rented stock nearby, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Holland Park rounds, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Holland Park most weeks on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden 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 Holland Park (W11) addresses, with 37% one-person households here.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 80% flats neighbourhood. With 80% of Holland Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Kensington and Chelsea — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors for Holland Park (W11) addresses. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden — and 37% one-person households here, with Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away.
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 on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 20% of Holland Park homes being houses — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, so the principal contractor's duty of care record stays complete. That paperwork is what most Kensington and Chelsea letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden, with this being a short walk from Holland Park (Central).
Asbestos in any form, which requires a licensed removal contractor and a separate consignment route; Demolition, structural cutting or breaking out — we clear what has been broken out, we do not break it out; Contaminated soil or drums of liquid waste, with Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away, which need a specialist hazardous waste carrier; Skip hire and the highway licence a skip needs across W11 — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, which is a different product priced by the skip company. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Holland Park W11 price you agree is the price you pay on the Holland Park rounds, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented.
