Overview
Rubbish removal in Kennington SE11, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Kennington, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 88% of Kennington's 8,644 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Kennington
Five steps, the same on every SE11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE11, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — and with 38% one-person households in Kennington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Kennington customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Kennington wall.
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. Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Kennington (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SE11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kennington walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE11, 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, as the Kennington stock goes, with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Kennington
Fixed prices for SE11 and the rest of Lambeth. 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 Kennington
The same scope across SE11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Kennington: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, the way it is done on Kennington jobs
- On SE11 jobs: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, with 88% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, arranged with London Borough of Lambeth where the kerb needs it
- A sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves — including rubbish removal prices
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, which we refer on to the right trade in Kennington
- Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE11
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, outside the fixed price on Kennington bookings

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 →

Kennington SE11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kennington — the numbers that actually change a rubbish removal quote.
Kennington SE11 is Georgian and early Victorian and social-housing-led: 88% of homes here are flats and 12% are houses, across 8,644 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (28% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SE11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Kennington substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kennington stock goes, with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a SE11 customer twice.
Georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Kennington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access — one reason two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Fitters travelling in use Kennington (Northern).
