Bexley · DA16 · Rubbish removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Welling fitters · Fixed written pricesWelling DA16 is a regular stop on our Bexley round. A long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east, so rubbish removal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with licensed carriers, recycling split on the van, paperwork the same day.
Overview
This page prices rubbish removal for Welling DA16 specifically: inter-war stock, 16% privately rented and 3,815 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bexley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
A couple of photos are enough for a volume price; nobody has to be on site to be quoted.
Step 2
Volume, tip charge and any permit are itemised in one figure before the van is booked.
Step 3
Crew carry from wherever it sits — flat, garden, communal bin store or garage.
Step 4
Metal, WEEE, wood and textiles are separated on the van rather than tipped as one load.
Step 5
A waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email.
Why choose us
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — the reality on the streets around Danson Park and Danson House in DA16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — measured on the walk in from Welling (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays.
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| 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
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 →

Working in Welling
Census 2021 puts Welling at 3,815 households with a median age of 39.5. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 81% houses and 19% flats need different handling in DA16.
Owner-occupation runs at 78% in Welling, so alongside the 16% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — the reality on the streets around Danson Park and Danson House behind the plaster in DA16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — measured on the walk in from Welling (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Welling: a long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Welling is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays — one reason two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Fitters travelling in use Welling (Southeastern).
