How it works
How clearance services works in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks
Five steps, the same on every E1W job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks stock goes, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photo or video survey
Send photos of each room or a walk-through video and you get a fixed price, not a per-hour guess.
Step 2
Fixed written quote
Volume, tip charges, permits and any access cost itemised in one figure with the waste-carrier licence number on it.
Step 3
Sort on site
Anything reusable is set aside for reuse or charity before the rest is loaded.
Step 4
Load and clear
The crew carries everything out; you never need to move items to the kerb.
Step 5
Documented disposal
Waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email the same day.
Why choose us
Why Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks customers book us
Four things decide whether a E1W job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Tower Hill (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a E1W visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and marina estate access control, tourist congestion and booked service lifts in E1W, 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 — measured on the walk in from Tower Hill (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks
Fixed prices for E1W and the rest of Tower Hamlets. Volume and weight set the price. Access adds to it: stairs above the second floor with no lift, red-route frontages and permit-only bays are the three things that move a London quote.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single item collection | £45 | 20–40 min | One sofa, mattress or fridge carried out and weighed in at a licensed transfer station. |
| Quarter-load (approx. 3 cubic yards) | £120 | 45–75 min | Priced on volume in the van plus tip weight, not on how long the crew is on site. |
| Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards) | £200 | 1–2 hrs | A typical garage or one-bedroom flat clear-out including loose bagged waste. |
| Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards) | £380 | 2–4 hrs | Full van, two crew, transfer-station charge and the waste transfer note included. |
| Fridge, freezer or air-con unit | £65 | 20–30 min | Gas-containing appliances go to a WEEE-permitted site, which charges per unit. |
| Garden or builders' waste, per cubic yard | £70 | By volume | Soil, rubble and hardcore are heavy: those loads are capped by weight, not space. |

Scope
What's included in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks
The same scope across E1W, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On E1W jobs: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, agreed on the doorstep in Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks before anything is unpacked
- In Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, timed against the walk in from Tower Hill (Circle, District)
- Sweep-up of the cleared space, noted on the Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste, allowing for the 47% of E1W homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, handled by London Borough of Tower Hamlets or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, and we will say so before the E1W visit rather than on the day
- Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed, outside the fixed price on Tower Hill and St Katharine Docks bookings

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.
