Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Mortlake, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 50% of Mortlake and East Sheen's 4,944 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW14 shape the slot length we hold.

How it works

How rubbish removal works in Mortlake and East Sheen

Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Mortlake and East Sheen stock goes, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Mortlake and East Sheen wall.

Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls

We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW14, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 32% one-person households in Mortlake and East Sheen, 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.

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. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.

Booked around your day

Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
