How it works
Step 1
Send a few photos of the pile or the room and the volume is confirmed against real reference points, not guessed.
Step 2
One figure covering volume, tip gate fee and any access cost, with our carrier registration number on it.
Step 3
Most postcodes have a next-day slot; same-day is usually available if you call before mid-morning.
Step 4
The crew carries everything out and loads the van — you are not asked to help unless you want to.
Step 5
Site, weight and date confirmed the same day, which is what a landlord or the council asks for if waste is ever traced.
Why choose us
Next-day slots are standard across every borough, and same-day collection is usually available if booked before mid-morning. Shortlands (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Shortlands and Hayes, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak in BR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Registered upper-tier waste carrier with the Environment Agency. A waste transfer note is issued for every collection, which is the document that protects you if rubbish is later found fly-tipped — liability for the waste otherwise sits with whoever produced it, not the person who took it away.
One person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward. Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boot-load of mixed rubbish | £40 | 15–30 min | Priced for a small car boot's worth — bin bags, packaging and small offcuts that do not justify a van visit. |
| Quarter-load (approx. 3 cubic yards) | £95 | 30–60 min | Charged on the volume the rubbish takes in the van, weighed against the transfer station's gate rate. |
| Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards) | £165 | 45–90 min | A typical loft, garage or shed's worth of mixed general waste, loaded by hand from wherever it sits. |
| Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards) | £300 | 1.5–3 hrs | Full van and the transfer-station charge, with the waste transfer note issued the same day. |
| Two-van full load | £560 | 3–5 hrs | Where one van cannot take the volume in a single trip; two crews run in parallel rather than one van doing two runs. |
| Rubbish removal with same-day booking | +£25 | Within hours | A dispatch premium for slotting a same-day job between booked collections rather than a next-day charge. |

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 Shortlands and Hayes
3,676 households sit inside the BR2 neighbourhood covering Shortlands and Hayes. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 52% of those homes are flats.

Shortlands and Hayes substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Shortlands and Hayes, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a BR2 customer twice.
Shortlands and Hayes 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 — leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby — which is why a BR2 quote is not a Bromley average.
Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. Nearest station is Shortlands (Southeastern), and one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward.

Boot-load of mixed rubbish starts at £40 in Shortlands and Hayes on BR2 jobs, with 3,676 households on this patch — and this being London Borough of Bromley territory, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume in the van is the main driver. Walk-up flats above the second floor with no lift, red-route frontages and permit-only bays are what add crew time to an otherwise identical load in Shortlands and Hayes, with Bromley parking rules in play.

Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, gas bottles, asbestos and clinical waste — which needs a specialist licensed carrier; Anything fixed to the building, such as kitchen units still plumbed in or a fitted bathroom suite; Trade waste from a registered business in this 52% flats neighbourhood — and Hayes Common a few streets away, with 33% one-person households here, which is quoted separately with a commercial waste transfer note.
