    About Selly Oak

    Selly Oak (B29, Birmingham, West Midlands) is university quarter of red-brick terraces, HMOs and post-war semis around the Bristol Road corridor. University of Birmingham Old Joe clock tower anchors the area, and the streets around it are built largely in Victorian pressed brick, concrete driveways and Marshalls block paving.

    That matters for rubbish & house clearance: student-let front gardens gather leaf mulch that stains sandstone within a season if left. Roughly 49% of the housing stock here pre-dates the war and 62% is flats or terraces, so our crews plan for stair turns, shared entries and tight kerbside loading rather than assuming driveway access.

    We work Selly Oak alongside Bournville, Harborne, Edgbaston, Kings Heath, which keeps travel time short and lets us hold morning and afternoon slots in the same B29 run.
