Lewisham · SE13 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Lewisham fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking construction site clearance near Lewisham Market on the High Street? Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £180 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Lewisham, construction site clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 75% of Lewisham's 3,987 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE13 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
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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.
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. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE13, 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, as the Lewisham stock goes, which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham 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. |

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 Lewisham
In Lewisham (SE13) the split is 75% flats to 25% houses over 3,987 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 33% of Lewisham is privately rented and 35% socially rented, a lot of SE13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SE13. 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, as the Lewisham stock goes, which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
The market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. That character decides the practical detail of construction site clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).
