Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Marylebone, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 88% of Marylebone's 3,555 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W1 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
Two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton as standard; heavy rubble loads run below the legal weight limit rather than filling the space. Estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts.
Most London collections are covered within 48 hours, with same-day slots usually available before 10am. Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways) is the nearest station, so a W1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W1, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 47% one-person households in Marylebone, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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
| 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. |

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 Marylebone
Census 2021 puts Marylebone at 3,555 households with a median age of 38.4. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 12% houses and 88% flats need different handling in W1.
57% of households rent privately and 32% own, which is why rubbish removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W1, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 47% one-person households in Marylebone, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in W1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in W1, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Marylebone knows the pattern near The Wallace Collection: village high street, Georgian estate streets and the medical quarter along Harley Street. We plan the W1 visit around it. Marylebone sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts. Nearest station is Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways), 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.
