London bulky waste collection · South London
Bulky waste collection across Kingston upon Thames, from KT1, KT2 and KT3 outwards. Riverside market town with a big retail centre, plus Surbiton's Art Deco station and New Malden's Korean high street, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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.
Working in Kingston upon Thames
What our crews walk into in Kingston upon Thames is victorian and edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, riverside apartments and surbiton mansion flats, and the mix changes street by street — Chessington (KT9), Kingston town centre (KT1) and Kingston Vale and Coombe (KT2) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, one-way system and pedestrianised centre in kingston, riverside loading limits, driveways in surbiton and chessington. Locally that means wide roads, driveways and easy turning throughout and pedestrianised centre with timed access, riverside loading limits and a one-way ring road. Kingston upon Thames sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames's free or low-cost bulky collection in Kingston upon Thames is usually limited to a handful of items per booking and a fixed collection day, which does not help when a sofa or wardrobe has to be out before a delivery arrives. We collect on the day you choose and take as many items as you have.
Why it looks like this: saxon kings were crowned here; the market and the bridge kept it prosperous long before the railway made surbiton a commuter town.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Single items, part-loads, garden waste and office strip-outs across the borough.
The wider rubbish disposal hub — every waste stream we collect, in one place.
Sofas, beds, wardrobes and mattresses collected per item, dismantling included.
Whole-property clears, probate and end-of-tenancy strip-outs, sorted room by room.
A van and driver for the load you have, priced by size rather than by guesswork.
Flat-pack furniture built, squared and anchored where it needs to stand.
Sofa or armchair starts at £50 in Kingston upon Thames, and the ladder runs up to £90 for the largest job on the table above. The item and the carry, not the tip weight. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: KT1, KT2, KT3, KT4, KT5, KT6 and KT9. On the ground that includes Chessington, Kingston town centre, Kingston Vale and Coombe, New Malden, Norbiton and Kingston Hill and Surbiton.
Next-day across every borough, with same-day slots for two or more items booked before mid-morning. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
One-way system and pedestrianised centre in Kingston, riverside loading limits, driveways in Surbiton and Chessington. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, riverside apartments and Surbiton mansion flats is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Kingston upon Thames postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Items containing refrigerant gas — fridges, freezers and air-conditioning units — quoted under our fridge and freezer disposal service instead, Pianos and safes, which need specialist lifting equipment and are quoted separately and Items contaminated with bodily fluids or pest infestation, which are handled as a hazardous or biohazard collection. If something on that list turns up in Kingston upon Thames, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
Mohamed and his colleague came to our home to give it a deep clean. We bought a new family home and wanted a good clean before we moved in. The clean is brilliant. The windows were exceptionally clean. The team were friendly and I found it easy to book with them and found their communication… Read in full →
