Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks.

Overview
Rubbish removal in North Kensington W10, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Latimer Road, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 81% of North Kensington's 3,820 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W10 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in North Kensington
Five steps, the same on every W10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the North Kensington stock goes, which is what a 81% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering North Kensington actually produces 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 North Kensington customers book us
What follows is specific to North Kensington: its walls, its access and the paperwork Kensington and Chelsea agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
North Kensington walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W10, often with surface conduit — where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in W10, 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 — and with 39% one-person households in North Kensington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 North Kensington
Fixed prices for W10 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 North Kensington
The same scope across W10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On W10 jobs: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, with 81% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In North Kensington: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, the way it is done on North Kensington jobs
- Segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste — including local rubbish removal
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, arranged with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, and we will say so before the W10 visit rather than on the day
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, outside the fixed price on North Kensington bookings
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W10

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 →

Rubbish removal in North Kensington W10 — your questions.
How much does rubbish removal cost in North Kensington W10?
Single item collection starts at £45 in North Kensington on the North Kensington rounds, with 19% of North Kensington homes being houses, 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 Kensington and Chelsea bookings — and 19% of North Kensington homes being houses, with 46% social-rented stock nearby.
How much is a small rubbish collection in North Kensington W10?
A minimum load is £95 and a quarter-load £120, priced on the space the waste takes in the van on W10 jobs, with The Westway Sports Centre a few streets away. Around The Westway Sports Centre most jobs are quoted from two photos around Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City), with 23% of W10 homes being privately rented, and the price is fixed before the crew sets off.
Is this cheaper than a skip in W10?
Usually, once Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's skip permit, the wait for the licence and the risk of other people filling it are counted on W10 jobs, with 46% social-rented stock nearby. A van crew loads, leaves and issues the paperwork the same visit — nothing sits on the street overnight on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with 31% owner-occupation locally.
Can you collect from a flat or a bin store in North Kensington?
Yes. 81% of homes here are flats, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play — and 23% of W10 homes being privately rented, 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 the streets near The Westway Sports Centre.
Do I get proof of disposal in Kensington and Chelsea?
Every collection comes with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date on the North Kensington rounds. With 23% of North Kensington homes privately rented, that is what letting agents and landlords ask to see on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 39% one-person households here.
Is same-day or evening rubbish removal available in Kensington and Chelsea?
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours around Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City), with same-day slots usually available before 10am. North Kensington sits close to Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City) across W10 — and 23% of W10 homes being privately rented, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, so we can usually add a W10 job to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in North Kensington?
Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks in this 81% flats neighbourhood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Kensington and Chelsea — and Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. Near The Westway Sports Centre that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
