Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Raynes Park, construction site clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 51% of Raynes Park's 3,570 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW20 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. Driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak.
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. Raynes Park (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW20, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Cottenham Park in SW20, 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 Raynes Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 3,570 households inside the SW20 neighbourhood.
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.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

35% of households rent privately and 51% own, which is why construction site clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Raynes Park substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SW20, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Cottenham Park. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Raynes Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 3,570 households inside the SW20 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SW20 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Raynes Park knows the pattern near Cottenham Park: a quiet family suburb of interwar semis with Cottenham Park nearby. We plan the SW20 visit around it. Raynes Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak — 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.
