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
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. Gradient on Dartmouth Park Hill, resident-permit bays and long internal staircases.
Next-day slots are standard across every borough, and same-day collection is usually available if booked before mid-morning. Tufnell Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Tufnell Park, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 33% one-person households in Tufnell Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in N7, 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 in N7, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 71% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Tufnell Park actually produces.
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 Tufnell Park
Tufnell Park N7 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 71% of homes here are flats and 29% are houses, across 3,158 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 30% of Tufnell Park is privately rented and 24% socially rented, a lot of N7 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Tufnell Park, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and with 33% one-person households in Tufnell Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in N7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in N7, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 71% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Tufnell Park actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Wide Victorian avenues on the slope up to Dartmouth Park, quieter than its neighbours. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Tufnell Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Gradient on Dartmouth Park Hill, resident-permit bays and long internal staircases. Nearest station is Tufnell Park (Northern), 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 Tufnell Park on the Tufnell Park rounds, with this being a short walk from Tufnell Park (Northern), 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 this 71% flats neighbourhood, with Tufnell Park Tavern and Dartmouth Park Hill a few streets away.

We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Tufnell Park most weeks across N7, with Tufnell Park Tavern and Dartmouth Park Hill a few streets away.
