Kensington and Chelsea · SW10 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for construction site clearance in West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour SW10? We work in West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour most weeks — riverside marina and design centre beside Victorian terraces and the World's End estate — and price construction site clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £180, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Construction site clearance in West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour SW10 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,731 households sit inside this SW10 patch, 90% of them flats, so we quote on access near Chelsea Harbour and Brompton Cemetery 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
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. West Brompton (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a SW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from West Brompton (District, Overground) rather than assumed from a map in SW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 30% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Harbour estate access control, tower blocks with booked lifts and permit-only side streets.
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. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times.
