Richmond upon Thames · TW10 · Rubbish removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Richmond Hill and Ham fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking rubbish removal near Ham House and the Richmond Hill view? Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £40 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Richmond, rubbish removal here covers supply-free fitting from £40. With 35% of Richmond Hill and Ham's 2,156 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW10 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in TW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Richmond Hill and Ham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 35% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Richmond Hill and Ham 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. Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits.
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 Richmond Hill and Ham
2,156 households sit inside the TW10 neighbourhood covering Richmond Hill and Ham. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 35% of those homes are flats.
Because 15% of Richmond Hill and Ham is privately rented and 26% socially rented, a lot of TW10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in TW10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Richmond Hill and Ham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 35% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Richmond Hill and Ham actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Richmond Hill and Ham 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 protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below — which is why a TW10 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, and one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward.
