Wandsworth · SW15 · Rubbish removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Putney fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for rubbish removal in Putney SW15? We work in Putney most weeks — the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — and price rubbish removal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, licensed carriers, recycling split on the van, paperwork the same day.


Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Putney, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 72% of Putney's 20,613 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW15 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
A couple of photos are enough for a volume price; nobody has to be on site to be quoted.
Step 2
Volume, tip charge and any permit are itemised in one figure before the van is booked.
Step 3
Crew carry from wherever it sits — flat, garden, communal bin store or garage.
Step 4
Metal, WEEE, wood and textiles are separated on the van rather than tipped as one load.
Step 5
A waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email.
Why choose us
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.
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the reality on the streets around Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Putney stock goes, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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 →

Working in Putney
Putney SW15 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 72% of homes here are flats and 28% are houses, across 20,613 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 38% private renting against 47% owner-occupied, most SW15 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Putney substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the reality on the streets around Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Putney stock goes, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces is the mistake that costs a SW15 customer twice.
The Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Putney is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, and two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space.
