Overview

How it works
Step 1
Send photos of each room or a walk-through video and you get a fixed price, not a per-hour guess.
Step 2
Volume, tip charges, permits and any access cost itemised in one figure with the waste-carrier licence number on it.
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 solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in RM1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 18,759 households inside the RM1 neighbourhood.
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. Ring-road one-way system, market-day closures and booked lifts in the new blocks.
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in RM1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in RM1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 18,759 households inside the RM1 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
