Overview
Bulky waste collection in Richmond Hill and Ham TW10, explained
Bulky waste collection in Richmond Hill and Ham TW10 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 2,156 households sit inside this TW10 patch, 35% of them flats, so we quote on access near Ham House and the Richmond Hill view rather than a London average.
How it works
How bulky waste collection works in Richmond Hill and Ham
Five steps, the same on every TW10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Richmond Hill and Ham stock goes, which is what a 35% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Richmond Hill and Ham actually produces is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us what and where
A photo of each item and which room or floor it is on is enough for a fixed per-item price.
Step 2
Fixed quote, no kerb requirement
The price covers carrying the item out of the property; you never have to move it yourself.
Step 3
Book the day
Next-day is standard; same-day is available for two or more items booked before mid-morning.
Step 4
Carry and check for reuse
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
Transfer note or reuse receipt
Emailed the same day, whichever route the item took.
Why choose us
Why Richmond Hill and Ham customers book us
Four things decide whether a TW10 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Next-day across every borough, with same-day slots for two or more items booked before mid-morning. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Richmond Hill and Ham walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in Richmond Hill and Ham, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the pattern behind 2,156 households inside the TW10 neighbourhood in TW10, 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 — measured on the walk in from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Bulky waste collection prices in Richmond Hill and Ham
Fixed prices for TW10 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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.
| 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
What's included in Richmond Hill and Ham
The same scope across TW10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On TW10 jobs: collection from the room the item is in — nothing needs to be carried down to the kerb first, agreed on the doorstep in Richmond Hill and Ham before anything is unpacked
- In Richmond Hill and Ham: dismantling of beds, wardrobes and flat-pack units where the stairwell or doorway will not take them whole, timed against the walk in from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western)
- A waste transfer note for the load, and a receipt if the item is passed to a reuse or charity partner instead, noted on the Richmond Hill and Ham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: reuse checked first — sound furniture goes to a London reuse network before it is treated as waste, allowing for the 15% of TW10 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Items containing refrigerant gas — fridges, freezers and air-conditioning units — quoted under our fridge and freezer disposal service instead, which we refer on to the right trade in Richmond Hill and Ham
- Pianos and safes, which need specialist lifting equipment and are quoted separately, handled by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead
- Items contaminated with bodily fluids or pest infestation, which are handled as a hazardous or biohazard collection, and we will say so before the TW10 visit rather than on the day

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 →
