London rubbish disposal · Central London
We work in Kensington and Chelsea every week — the densest borough in the country — white stucco crescents, museum quarter and the portobello and world's end ends. Rubbish disposal is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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. |
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.
Working in Kensington and Chelsea
What our crews walk into in Kensington and Chelsea is stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates, and the mix changes street by street — Bayswater (W2), Chelsea (SW3) and Earl's Court (SW5) each behave differently on the day.
1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Locally that means hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups and cadogan estate parking rules, king's road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits.
Fly-tipping enforcement in Kensington and Chelsea follows the householder, not whoever took the bags. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea traces waste back to the address it came from.
Kensington and Chelsea took its present shape because market gardens turned into the great exhibition's albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the victorian wealthy.

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.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
