Overview
Bulky waste collection in Battersea SW11, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Battersea Power Station, bulky waste collection here covers supply-free fitting from £50. With 87% of Battersea's 6,832 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How bulky waste collection works in Battersea
Five steps, the same on every SW11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — the pattern behind 6,832 households inside the SW11 neighbourhood 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 Battersea customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW11 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
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. Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets.
Booked around your day
Next-day across every borough, with same-day slots for two or more items booked before mid-morning. Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Battersea walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Battersea Power Station (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in SW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Battersea gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around Battersea Power Station.
Fixed prices
Bulky waste collection prices in Battersea
Fixed prices for SW11 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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%.

Permits, bay suspensions, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are itemised where they apply.
Scope
What's included in Battersea
The same scope across SW11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: collection from the room the item is in — nothing needs to be carried down to the kerb first, arranged with London Borough of Wandsworth where the kerb needs it
- Dismantling of beds, wardrobes and flat-pack units where the stairwell or doorway will not take them whole — including local bulky waste collection
- In Battersea: a waste transfer note for the load, and a receipt if the item is passed to a reuse or charity partner instead, the way it is done on Battersea jobs
- On SW11 jobs: reuse checked first — sound furniture goes to a London reuse network before it is treated as waste, with 87% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Items containing refrigerant gas — fridges, freezers and air-conditioning units — quoted under our fridge and freezer disposal service instead, and we will say so before the SW11 visit rather than on the day
- Pianos and safes, which need specialist lifting equipment and are quoted separately, handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead
- Items contaminated with bodily fluids or pest infestation, which are handled as a hazardous or biohazard collection, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW11

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 →

Battersea SW11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Battersea — the numbers that actually change a bulky waste collection quote.
In Battersea (SW11) the split is 87% flats to 13% houses over 6,832 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The mixed-tenure mix here (38% owned, 33% privately rented) means a SW11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Battersea substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Battersea Power Station (Northern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Battersea gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around Battersea Power Station is the mistake that costs a SW11 customer twice.
The rebuilt power station, riverside towers and Victorian streets around the park. That character decides the practical detail of bulky waste collection here far more than the borough boundary does. Battersea 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: estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. Battersea Power Station (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.

Common questions
Bulky waste collection in Battersea SW11 — your questions.
How much does bulky waste collection cost in Battersea SW11?
Sofa or armchair starts at £50 in Battersea on the Battersea rounds, with 6,832 households on this patch, 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 SW11 jobs. 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 the streets near Battersea Power Station, with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Battersea SW11?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SW11 jobs, with 34% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Battersea most weeks on the Battersea rounds, with 6,832 households on this patch.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Battersea?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Battersea Power Station (Northern), with 87% of homes here being flats.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Battersea doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Wandsworth bookings. With 87% of Battersea homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 87% flats neighbourhood, with 87% of homes here being flats — and this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Battersea?
Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets on the Battersea rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Wandsworth it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on SW11 jobs — and 87% of homes here being flats, with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW11?
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 this side of Wandsworth — and 34% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Battersea Power Station (Northern). That paperwork is what most Wandsworth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across SW11, with 33% of SW11 homes being privately rented.
What is not included in bulky waste collection in Battersea?
Items containing refrigerant gas — fridges, freezers and air-conditioning units — quoted under our fridge and freezer disposal service instead; Pianos and safes, with 28% social-rented stock nearby, which need specialist lifting equipment and are quoted separately; Items contaminated with bodily fluids or pest infestation in this 87% flats neighbourhood — and Wandsworth parking rules in play, which are handled as a hazardous or biohazard collection. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Battersea SW11 price you agree is the price you pay around Battersea Power Station (Northern), with 34% one-person households here.
