Overview

Rubbish removal in Shortlands and Hayes BR2, explained

This page prices rubbish removal for Shortlands and Hayes BR2 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 24% privately rented and 3,676 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.

How it works

How rubbish removal works in Shortlands and Hayes

Five steps, the same on every BR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Shortlands and Hayes gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, where 69% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Shortlands and Hayes customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Shortlands and Hayes wall.

Shortlands and Hayes walls, not generic walls

We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in BR2, with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in BR2, 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; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.

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.

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. Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.

Booked around your day

Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Shortlands (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Rubbish removal prices in Shortlands and Hayes

Fixed prices for BR2 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.

Rubbish removal price guide for Shortlands and Hayes BR2
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.

Domestic prices are the total you pay. Commercial and landlord invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. Permits, bay suspensions, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge, where they apply, are itemised in the written quote before the crew is booked.

Scope

What's included in Shortlands and Hayes

The same scope across BR2, 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, checked on every BR2 visit
Standard on Bromley bookings: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, with 3,676 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
On BR2 jobs: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, rubbish removal prices included
In Shortlands and Hayes: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, sized for the driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak

Not included

Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, outside the fixed price on Shortlands and Hayes bookings
Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR2
Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Shortlands and Hayes BR2 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shortlands and Hayes — the numbers that actually change a rubbish removal quote.

The BR2 stock around Hayes Common is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 52% flats, 48% houses and 3,676 households in Shortlands and Hayes.

24% of households rent privately and 69% own, which is why rubbish removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in BR2, with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in BR2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.

Two streets can behave very differently in Shortlands and Hayes: leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Shortlands and Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

On access, driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak — 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 Shortlands (Southeastern).
