Wandsworth · SW11 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Battersea fitters · Fixed written pricesBattersea SW11 is a regular stop on our Wandsworth round. The rebuilt power station, riverside towers and Victorian streets around the park, 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 mixed-tenure households around Battersea Power Station, construction site clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 87% of Battersea's 6,832 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW11 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. Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets.
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. Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 34% one-person households in Battersea, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 6,832 households inside the SW11 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.
