Southwark · SE24 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Herne Hill fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking construction site clearance near Brockwell Park and Lido? Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets, 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 owner-occupier-led households around Herne Hill, construction site clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 27% of Herne Hill's 3,150 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE24 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 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. Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE24 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Herne Hill, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE24, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Herne Hill gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 19% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane 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.

Working in Herne Hill
3,150 households sit inside the SE24 neighbourhood covering Herne Hill. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 27% of those homes are flats.
With 19% private renting against 69% owner-occupied, most SE24 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Herne Hill substrates run to solid London stock brick in Herne Hill, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Herne Hill gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 19% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a SE24 customer twice.
Herne Hill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — brockwell Park, the velodrome and a compact village of independents — which is why a SE24 quote is not a Southwark average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets. Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) is the nearest station, 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 Herne Hill on SE24 jobs, with 19% of SE24 homes being privately rented — and this being a short walk from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern), and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.
