Overview
This page prices bulky waste collection for North Kensington W10 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 23% privately rented and 3,820 households in total. Work starts at £50, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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 precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in North Kensington, often with surface conduit — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W10, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 3,820 households inside the W10 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. Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks.
Next-day across every borough, with same-day slots for two or more items booked before mid-morning. Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W10 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%.

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 →
