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
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Narrow terraced streets, permit bays and railway bridges with height limits.
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Kensal Rise (Overground) is the nearest station, so a NW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 55% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kensal Green and Kensal Rise actually produces in NW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW10, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Kensal Rise (Overground) 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.
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. |

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 →
