Camden · NW5 · Bulky waste collection
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Dartmouth Park fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking bulky waste collection near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields? Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £50 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.


Overview
Bulky waste collection in Dartmouth Park NW5 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,395 households sit inside this NW5 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
A photo of each item and which room or floor it is on is enough for a fixed per-item price.
Step 2
The price covers carrying the item out of the property; you never have to move it yourself.
Step 3
Next-day is standard; same-day is available for two or more items booked before mid-morning.
Step 4
Sound furniture is assessed for reuse before it is loaded as waste, which is often the fastest way to move it on anyway.
Step 5
Emailed the same day, whichever route the item took.
Why choose us
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every collection; items suitable for reuse are logged and passed to a London reuse partner with a receipt rather than tipped.
One or two crew depending on the item — a sofa or mattress needs two people on a London staircase regardless of how light the piece is. Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions.
Next-day across every borough, with same-day slots for two or more items booked before mid-morning. Tufnell Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Dartmouth Park gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Dartmouth Park actually produces.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sofa or armchair | £50 | 20–30 min | Priced per item because a single sofa does not need a full van booked against it. |
| Bed frame and mattress | £55 | 20–30 min | Covers dismantling a divan or frame and carrying the mattress separately, since the two are usually collected together. |
| Wardrobe or set of drawers | £45 | 20–30 min | Most flat-pack wardrobes have to be part-dismantled to clear a stairwell, which is why this sits above a loose item. |
| Dining table and up to 4 chairs | £60 | 30 min | Table legs are usually unscrewed to get the piece down a narrow London staircase. |
| Second item on the same visit | £30 each | Added to visit | One call-out, one carry route surveyed — each extra piece only adds the carrying time, not a second job. |
| Same-day booking (2+ items) | £90 | Within hours | A fixed same-day rate for two or more bulky items, cheaper per item than booking two single collections. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay. Landlord and letting-agent invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%.

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Working in Dartmouth Park
Dartmouth Park NW5 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 72% of homes here are flats and 28% are houses, across 3,395 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 18% private renting against 45% owner-occupied, most NW5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Dartmouth Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Dartmouth Park gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Dartmouth Park actually produces.
Steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. That character decides the practical detail of bulky waste collection here far more than the borough boundary does. Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions. Tufnell Park (Northern) is the nearest station, and one or two crew depending on the item — a sofa or mattress needs two people on a London staircase regardless of how light the piece is.
