Enfield · N13 · Bulky waste collection
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Palmers Green fitters · Fixed written pricesPalmers Green N13 is a regular stop on our Enfield round. Green Lanes' Greek Cypriot shops and long Edwardian terraces, so bulky waste collection here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £50, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices bulky waste collection for Palmers Green N13 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 30% privately rented and 6,566 households in total. Work starts at £50, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Enfield permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in N13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 6,566 households inside the N13 neighbourhood.
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. Green Lanes is a red route with tight side-street access and permit bays.
Next-day across every borough, with same-day slots for two or more items booked before mid-morning. Palmers Green (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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%. Bulky items are priced per piece, not by volume, because carrying time — not tip weight — is what a single wardrobe or sofa actually costs. Permits, bay suspensions, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are itemised where they apply.
Scope
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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 Palmers Green
Walk Palmers Green from Broomfield Park outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 41% of the 6,566 households in N13 live in flats, 59% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 63% in Palmers Green, so alongside the 30% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Palmers Green substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 6,566 households inside the N13 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a N13 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Palmers Green: green Lanes' Greek Cypriot shops and long Edwardian terraces. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Palmers Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: green Lanes is a red route with tight side-street access and permit bays. Palmers Green (Great 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.

Sofa or armchair starts at £50 in Palmers Green across N13, with 63% owner-occupation locally, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The item and the carry, not the tip weight on the streets near Broomfield Park. A wardrobe down two flights with a turn in the stairwell costs more in crew time than the same wardrobe from a ground-floor flat on N13 jobs, with 26% one-person households here.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Palmers Green, with Enfield parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Palmers Green most weeks on this side of Enfield, with 41% of homes here being flats.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across N13, with 26% one-person households here.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Palmers Green rounds. With 41% of Palmers Green homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Palmers Green (N13) addresses — and Enfield parking rules in play, with 30% of N13 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 on the Palmers Green rounds — and Enfield parking rules in play, with 6,566 households on this patch. That paperwork is what most Enfield letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across N13, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
Items containing refrigerant gas — fridges, freezers and air-conditioning units — quoted under our fridge and freezer disposal service instead; Pianos and safes — and 41% of homes here being flats, which need specialist lifting equipment and are quoted separately; Items contaminated with bodily fluids or pest infestation on Enfield bookings, with 63% owner-occupation locally, which are handled as a hazardous or biohazard collection. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Palmers Green N13 price you agree is the price you pay on the Palmers Green rounds, with 7% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 30% of Palmers Green privately rented and 63% owner-occupied, roughly half the N13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Enfield bookings, with this being a short walk from Palmers Green (Great Northern).
