How it works
Step 1
Contents assessed by photo where possible, since a garage's volume is usually clear from a couple of wide shots rather than a full survey visit.
Step 2
Block entry, communal gate codes or lock cutting arranged before the van is booked, so the crew is not stood outside a locked compound.
Step 3
Everything split into keep, donate, recycle and dispose as it comes out, rather than loaded as one mixed tip run.
Step 4
Paint, oil, batteries and gas cylinders set aside for their own registered disposal route rather than mixed into the load.
Step 5
Floor swept and photos sent the same day, ready for a sale particulars pack or an estate management file.
Why choose us
Two to three days as standard, next day where access to the block has already been confirmed by the resident or managing agent. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW14, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Registered waste carrier with a separate route for household hazardous waste. Producer responsibility charges for tyres are shown on the quote rather than absorbed into a mixed rate.
Two operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage, light contents | £95 | 45–60 min | A garage used for general storage rather than a workshop — boxes, a bike, garden tools and offcuts of timber. |
| Single garage, full workshop contents | £165 | 1–2 hrs | Heavier loads of timber, metal, old tools and a workbench take longer to sort and carry than boxed household storage. |
| Double garage or lock-up, full clear | £250 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | Roughly double the volume of a single garage, and estate lock-ups often need the block access arranged before the van can load. |
| Tyres, per item | £8 | Included | Tyres are charged separately at the tip gate under producer responsibility rules and cannot go in a mixed load without that charge applying. |
| Paint, oil and chemical disposal, per small load | £45 | By arrangement | Household hazardous waste needs a carrier registered for that stream and a separate route to a licensed facility, not the general clearance van. |
| Lock cutting or forced access, per garage | £35 | 15–20 min | Where the original key has been lost, which is common on older estate lock-up blocks, a locksmith-grade cutter and a replacement padlock are needed before the clear can start. |

Scope

Mortlake and East Sheen substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW14, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a SW14 customer twice.
Mortlake and East Sheen is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. Nearest station is Mortlake (South Western), and two operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents.
