Southwark · SE22 · Rubbish removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local East Dulwich fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide rubbish removal in East Dulwich SE22 for houses and flats around Dulwich Park. From £40, quoted in writing before the visit, with one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Rubbish removal in East Dulwich SE22 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Southwark, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,337 households sit inside this SE22 patch, 43% of them flats, so we quote on access near Dulwich Park rather than a London average.
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. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE22 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in SE22, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 26% one-person households in East Dulwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is East Dulwich gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 43% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Dulwich 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. Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.
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. |

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 East Dulwich
In East Dulwich (SE22) the split is 43% flats to 57% houses over 3,337 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 25% private renting against 58% owner-occupied, most SE22 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick in SE22, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 26% one-person households in East Dulwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in East Dulwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is East Dulwich gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 43% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Dulwich actually produces.
East Dulwich sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses — which is why a SE22 quote is not a Southwark average.
Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. Nearest station is East Dulwich (Thameslink), and one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward.
