Fixed prices

Rubbish disposal prices in Lewisham

These are the Lewisham floor prices for a rubbish collection. 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. In this borough the additional variables are ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Rubbish disposal price guide for Lewisham
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Single item collection£4520–40 minOne mattress, sofa or appliance carried out and weighed in at a licensed transfer station.
Minimum load (approx. 1.5 cubic yards)£9520–30 minA few bags and a couple of items — priced on the space taken, not on a call-out fee.
Quarter-load (approx. 3 cubic yards)£12030–60 minThe usual size for a flat clear-down: bagged waste, a bed frame and some boxes.
Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards)£2001–2 hrsA garage or loft clear-down, still one van and two crew.
Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards)£3802–4 hrsFull van, two crew, the transfer-station charge and the waste transfer note included.
Garden or builders' waste, per cubic yard£70By volumeSoil, 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 Lewisham

Why Lewisham is not a generic London job

The Horniman Museum and Gardens is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Lewisham.

The housing stock

The stock in Lewisham is victorian and edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s catford estates and new lewisham town-centre towers, and the mix changes street by street — Bellingham and Downham (SE6), Brockley (SE4) and Catford (SE6) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

London Borough of Lewisham sets the constraint: steep hills at honor oak and forest hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding cpzs across se4 and se14.

London Borough of Lewisham rules

Fly-tipping enforcement in Lewisham follows the householder, not whoever took the bags. London Borough of Lewisham traces waste back to the address it came from.

How the borough got this way

Lewisham took its present shape because kentish villages absorbed by railways from the 1840s; deptford's naval dockyard and deptford creek shaped its industrial edge.

Scope

What's included in Lewisham

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bellingham and Downham or Sydenham.

Included in the price

  • Two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first
  • Licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day
  • Segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste
  • A sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves

Not included

  • Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier
  • Anything fixed to the building: kitchen units, boilers and radiators are quoted as a strip-out
  • Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed

Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.

Didn't clear rubbish from under the bed and some marks on walls look like they haven't been attempted at removing. Other than that was a good job considering the state of the flat.
