Overview

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
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Tufnell Park (Northern), downhill from the park is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Dartmouth Park stock goes, the reality on the streets around Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields.
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. Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions.
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 →
Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.
Dara and the team did a great job - cleaned thoroughly. They were there early and ensured all rubbish was carefully removed afterwards. Would recommend.

Working in Dartmouth Park
3,395 households sit inside the NW5 neighbourhood covering Dartmouth Park. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 72% of those homes are flats.
With 18% private renting against 45% owner-occupied, most NW5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Dartmouth Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Dartmouth Park stock goes, the reality on the streets around Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields.
Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath — which is why a NW5 quote is not a Camden average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions. Tufnell Park (Northern), downhill from the park is the nearest station, and two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space.

Single item collection starts at £45 in Dartmouth Park, with 3,395 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.

A minimum load is £95 and a quarter-load £120, priced on the space the waste takes in the van on NW5 jobs, with 28% of Dartmouth Park homes being houses. Around Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields most jobs are quoted from two photos on the Dartmouth Park rounds, with 36% social-rented stock nearby, and the price is fixed before the crew sets off.

For NW5 bookings, yes. 72% of homes here are flats, with 36% social-rented stock nearby, so lift bookings, porter sign-in and communal bin stores are routine — tell us the floor and whether there is a lift and the crew size is set for it on this side of Camden — and 72% of homes here being flats.

Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier; Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out; Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed on NW5 jobs — and a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood, with 36% social-rented stock nearby. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Dartmouth Park NW5 price you agree is the price you pay on the Dartmouth Park rounds, with 45% owner-occupation locally.
All three. With 18% of Dartmouth Park privately rented and 45% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across NW5 — and this being a short walk from Tufnell Park (Northern), downhill from the park, with 35% one-person households here.
