Harrow · HA2 · Rubbish removal

Overview

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. South Harrow (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a HA2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 26% one-person households in South Harrow, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in HA2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is South Harrow gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 55% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering South Harrow actually produces.
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 on most streets; Northolt Road is busy with short loading bays.
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 South Harrow
In South Harrow (HA2) the split is 55% flats to 45% houses over 3,418 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The renter-heavy mix here (45% owned, 37% privately rented) means a HA2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 26% one-person households in South Harrow, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in South Harrow is chosen on site — the usual failure here is South Harrow gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 55% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering South Harrow actually produces.
South Harrow 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 — a busy shopping parade and residential streets running down to Northolt — which is why a HA2 quote is not a Harrow average.
On access, driveways on most streets; Northolt Road is busy with short loading bays — one reason one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward. Fitters travelling in use South Harrow (Piccadilly).
