Richmond upon Thames · TW9 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kew fitters · Fixed written pricesKew TW9 is a regular stop on our Richmond upon Thames round. The botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them, 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
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Kew Gardens, construction site clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 41% of Kew's 4,163 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW9 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
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Kew Gardens (District, Overground) rather than assumed from a map in TW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 4,163 households inside the TW9 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.
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. Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages.
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. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a TW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 Kew
Walk Kew from Kew Gardens outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 41% of the 4,163 households in TW9 live in flats, 59% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 64% in Kew, so alongside the 30% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — measured on the walk in from Kew Gardens (District, Overground) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in TW9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in TW9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 4,163 households inside the TW9 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Kew: the botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Kew is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages. Nearest station is Kew Gardens (District, Overground), 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 Kew across TW9, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood, 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 TW9 jobs — and this being a short walk from Kew Gardens (District, Overground), with 41% of homes here being flats.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Kew (TW9) addresses, with 64% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kew most weeks on the streets near Kew Gardens, with 4,163 households on this patch.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 30% of TW9 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Kew Gardens (District, Overground). With 41% of Kew homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Kew — and this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, with this being a short walk from Kew Gardens (District, Overground), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 30% of Kew privately rented and 64% owner-occupied, roughly half the TW9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Kew Gardens (District, Overground) — and 4,163 households on this patch, with this being a short walk from Kew Gardens (District, Overground).
Kew Gardens is the marker we route to on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 4,163 households on this patch, and narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages.
