Havering · RM14 · Rubbish removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Cranham fitters · Fixed written pricesCranham RM14 is a regular stop on our Havering round. Quiet green-belt-edge suburb of bungalows and detached homes, so rubbish removal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with licensed carriers, recycling split on the van, paperwork the same day.
Overview
This page prices rubbish removal for Cranham RM14 specifically: mixed-era stock, 10% privately rented and 5,823 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Havering permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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 cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside — the reality on the streets around Cranham Marsh nature reserve in RM14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM14, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 25% one-person households in Cranham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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. The easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds.
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Upminster (District, c2c) is the nearest station, so a RM14 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. |

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 →
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 →
