Wandsworth · SW18 · Construction site clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Southfields fitters · Fixed written pricesConstruction site clearance for Southfields (SW18) households — 3,815 of them, 44% in flats. From £180 fixed, 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 Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Southfields, construction site clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £180. With 44% of Southfields's 3,815 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW18 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. Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays.
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. Southfields (District) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in SW18, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.

Working in Southfields
Walk Southfields from The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 44% of the 3,815 households in SW18 live in flats, 56% in houses.
Private renting sits at 33% and owner-occupation at 61%; the first group books construction site clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are solid London stock brick in SW18, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Southfields is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Southfields knows the pattern near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance: the Grid — a planned Edwardian estate that becomes the Wimbledon gateway each June. We plan the SW18 visit around it. Southfields is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays — 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 Southfields (District).

Single load, mixed site waste starts at £180 in Southfields for Southfields (SW18) addresses, with 61% owner-occupation locally, 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 Wandsworth bookings — and 33% of SW18 homes being privately rented, with 24% one-person households here.

We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Southfields most weeks, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.

That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance. With 44% of Southfields homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Wandsworth bookings — and Wandsworth parking rules in play, with The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
