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
We expect solid London stock brick in HA2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in HA2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in HA2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from South Harrow (Piccadilly) 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.
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 on most streets; Northolt Road is busy with short loading bays.
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. South Harrow (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a HA2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 →
