Bromley · BR5 · Clearance services
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Petts Wood fitters · Fixed written pricesPetts Wood BR5 is a regular stop on our Bromley round.

Overview
Clearance services in Petts Wood BR5 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bromley, most of them inter-war. 2,972 households sit inside this BR5 patch, 8% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Willett Memorial Wood rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1

Step 3
Anything reusable is set aside for reuse or charity before the rest is loaded.
Step 4
The crew carries everything out; you never need to move items to the kerb.
Step 5
Waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email the same day.
Why choose us
We expect timber stud partitions inside in BR5, cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 8% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Petts Wood actually produces in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in BR5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
We are a registered upper-tier waste carrier and issue a waste transfer note for every load — the document that protects you from a fly-tipping fine if your waste is later found dumped.
Standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
