Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads.

Overview
Rubbish removal in Bickley BR1, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Bickley, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 25% of Bickley's 6,738 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in BR1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Bickley
Five steps, the same on every BR1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Bickley gives us inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, the reality on the streets around Bickley Park 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 Bickley customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Bickley wall.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Bickley (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Bickley walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Bickley, cavity brickwork outside — where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in BR1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in BR1, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Bickley
Fixed prices for BR1 and the rest of Bromley. 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 Bickley
The same scope across BR1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, noted on the Bickley job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Bromley bookings: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, allowing for the 18% of BR1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On BR1 jobs: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, agreed on the doorstep in Bickley before anything is unpacked
- In Bickley: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, timed against the walk in from Bickley (Southeastern)
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, and we will say so before the BR1 visit rather than on the day
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, outside the fixed price on Bickley bookings
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, which we refer on to the right trade in Bickley

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 →

Walls are timber stud partitions inside in Bickley, cavity brickwork outside — where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Bickley is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in BR1, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Bickley knows the pattern near Bickley Park: large Victorian and Edwardian houses on wide avenues east of Bromley. We plan the BR1 visit around it. Bickley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads — 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 Bickley (Southeastern).
