Overview
Rubbish removal in Charlton SE7, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Charlton, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 48% of Charlton's 5,904 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE7 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Charlton
Five steps, the same on every SE7 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Charlton stock goes, and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Charlton customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE7 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Charlton walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Charlton, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Charlton (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE7, 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 on these streets — the reality on the streets around Charlton House.
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 Charlton
Fixed prices for SE7 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Charlton
The same scope across SE7, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE7 jobs: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, with 48% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Charlton: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, the way it is done on Charlton jobs
- Segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste — including rubbish removal prices
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, outside the fixed price on Charlton 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 SE7
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, which we refer on to the right trade in Charlton

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 Charlton
Charlton SE7 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Charlton — the numbers that actually change a rubbish removal quote.
Walk Charlton from Charlton House outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 48% of the 5,904 households in SE7 live in flats, 52% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 41% in Charlton, so alongside the 20% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Charlton, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Charlton (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Charlton is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the reality on the streets around Charlton House.
Anyone who knows Charlton knows the pattern near Charlton House: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. We plan the SE7 visit around it. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. Nearest station is Charlton (Southeastern), 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.

Common questions
Rubbish removal in Charlton SE7 — your questions.
How much does rubbish removal cost in Charlton SE7?
Single item collection starts at £45 in Charlton for Charlton (SE7) addresses, with Greenwich parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 on the Charlton rounds — and Charlton House a few streets away, with 28% one-person households here.
How much is a small rubbish collection in Charlton SE7?
A minimum load is £95 and a quarter-load £120, priced on the space the waste takes in the van across SE7, with 5,904 households on this patch. Around Charlton House most jobs are quoted from two photos on this side of Greenwich, with 28% one-person households here, and the price is fixed before the crew sets off.
Is this cheaper than a skip in SE7?
Usually, once Royal Borough of Greenwich's skip permit, the wait for the licence and the risk of other people filling it are counted in Charlton, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood. A van crew loads, leaves and issues the paperwork the same visit — nothing sits on the street overnight around Charlton (Southeastern), with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Can you collect from a flat or a bin store in Charlton?
Yes. 48% of homes here are flats, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood — and 48% of homes here being flats, 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 across SE7.
Do I get proof of disposal in Greenwich?
Every collection comes with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date on SE7 jobs. With 20% of Charlton homes privately rented, that is what letting agents and landlords ask to see on the Charlton rounds, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Is same-day or evening rubbish removal available in Greenwich?

Charlton sits close to Charlton (Southeastern), with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a SE7 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice for Charlton (SE7) addresses.
