Overview
Rubbish removal in Crayford DA1, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Crayford, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 28% of Crayford's 9,135 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in DA1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Crayford
Five steps, the same on every DA1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Crayford stock goes, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photograph the pile
A couple of photos are enough for a volume price; nobody has to be on site to be quoted.
Step 2
Fixed price, then a slot
Volume, tip charge and any permit are itemised in one figure before the van is booked.
Step 3
Carry and load
Crew carry from wherever it sits — flat, garden, communal bin store or garage.
Step 4
Split for recycling
Metal, WEEE, wood and textiles are separated on the van rather than tipped as one load.
Step 5
Paperwork same day
A waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email.
Why choose us
Why Crayford customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Crayford wall.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Crayford walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — where 57% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in DA1, 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 9,135 households inside the DA1 neighbourhood.
Insured and documented
We are a registered upper-tier waste carrier and issue a waste transfer note for every collection — the document that protects you from a fly-tipping fine if your waste is later found dumped.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Crayford
Fixed prices for DA1 and the rest of Bexley. Volume sets the price and access moves it: stairs above the second floor without a lift, red-route frontages and permit-only bays are the three London variables.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single item collection | £45 | 20–40 min | One mattress, sofa or appliance carried out and weighed in at a licensed transfer station. |
| Minimum load (approx. 1.5 cubic yards) | £95 | 20–30 min | A few bags and a couple of items — priced on the space taken, not on a call-out fee. |
| Quarter-load (approx. 3 cubic yards) | £120 | 30–60 min | The usual size for a flat clear-down: bagged waste, a bed frame and some boxes. |
| Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards) | £200 | 1–2 hrs | A garage or loft clear-down, still one van and two crew. |
| Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards) | £380 | 2–4 hrs | Full van, two crew, the transfer-station charge and the waste transfer note included. |
| Garden or builders' waste, per cubic yard | £70 | By volume | Soil, rubble and hardcore are capped by weight rather than space — heavy loads cost more per yard. |

Scope
What's included in Crayford
The same scope across DA1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On DA1 jobs: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, local rubbish removal included
- In Crayford: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, sized for the wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way
- Segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, checked on every DA1 visit
- Standard on Bexley bookings: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, with 9,135 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, handled by London Borough of Bexley or a specialist contractor instead
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, and we will say so before the DA1 visit rather than on the day
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, outside the fixed price on Crayford bookings

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 →
