Crew sized to the job

Overview
Rubbish removal in Earlsfield SW18, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Earlsfield, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 61% of Earlsfield's 7,243 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW18 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Earlsfield
Five steps, the same on every SW18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Earlsfield gives us new-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, a median age of 33 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 Earlsfield customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW18 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Earlsfield (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Earlsfield walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Earlsfield, with metal stud partitions between rooms — with 16% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SW18, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Earlsfield (South Western) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Earlsfield
Fixed prices for SW18 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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 Earlsfield
The same scope across SW18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, checked on every SW18 visit
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, with 7,243 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SW18 jobs: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, rubbish removal prices included
- In Earlsfield: a sweep-up of the collection point before the crew leaves, sized for the narrow terraced streets, permit bays and railway-bridge height limits
Not included
- Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, and we will say so before the SW18 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 Earlsfield bookings
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, which we refer on to the right trade in Earlsfield

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 →
