Overview
Rubbish removal in Southfields SW18, explained
This page prices rubbish removal for Southfields SW18 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 33% privately rented and 3,815 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Wandsworth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How rubbish removal works in Southfields
Five steps, the same on every SW18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW18, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow grid streets and permit bays 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 Southfields customers book us
What follows is specific to Southfields: its walls, its access and the paperwork Wandsworth agents ask for.
Southfields walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Southfields stock goes, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces.
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. Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays.
Fixed prices
Rubbish removal prices in Southfields
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 Southfields
The same scope across SW18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Southfields: two crew and all the carrying — bags and items do not need moving to the kerb first, the way it is done on Southfields jobs
- On SW18 jobs: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, with 44% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything reaches residual waste, arranged with London Borough of Wandsworth 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, 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, handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead
- Loads from unsafe access — a cellar or loft that has not been surveyed, which we refer on to the right trade in Southfields

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 Southfields
Southfields SW18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Southfields — the numbers that actually change a rubbish removal quote.
In Southfields (SW18) the split is 44% flats to 56% houses over 3,815 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 33% of Southfields is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of SW18 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 3,815 households inside the SW18 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SW18. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Southfields stock goes, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Southfields is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Grid — a planned Edwardian estate that becomes the Wimbledon gateway each June — which is why a SW18 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays. Nearest station is Southfields (District), 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.
