Frequently asked questions

How much does construction waste removal cost in London?

Construction waste removal is charged by weight. Small loads are priced at £40 per 100 kg, while larger loads are charged at £170 per tonne plus £60 transport, whichever is cheaper. Prices are subject to VAT.

How do digital scales work?

Every truck has digital scales fitted under the frame. As we load, the weight adds up live, so you only pay for the exact weight collected. No guesswork and no fixed van rates.

How quickly can you come?

Monday to Thursday, same-day collection is very likely if you book before 12:00. Fridays are usually much busier, and Saturday availability is more limited because many tipping stations close by 12:00.

What rubbish do you take?

We collect household waste, bulky furniture, sofas, mattresses, fridges, construction waste, rubble, garden waste, soil and more. We do not collect asbestos, full paint cans, food waste, gas cylinders, fire extinguishers or clinical waste.

Do you remove construction waste?

Yes — that's our speciality. We remove construction waste from refurbishments, renovations and building sites, including rubble, plasterboard, tiles, old kitchens, bathroom suites and more. We'll load it for you too.

How much for a full load?

There is no single full-load price. Light waste may fill the truck at around 1 tonne, while heavy construction waste can reach 2 tonnes before the truck is full. Light bulky waste starts from £230 + VAT for a full truck, while heavier loads are charged by actual weight.

How is the price calculated?

You pay for the actual weight shown on our digital scales. Small loads are £40 per 100 kg with 1 loader for up to 15 minutes. Large loads are £170 per tonne + £60 transport with 1 loader for up to 45 minutes. Mattresses £25, sofas £30 and fridges £40. Prices are subject to VAT.

Do I need to be there for collection?

Ideally yes. But if the rubbish is accessible (e.g. outside your property or on a building site), we can arrange collection over the phone.

Do you provide a waste transfer note?

Yes. We can email you a digital waste transfer note, and a paper copy is also available from our driver after collection. We're a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency — view our licence.

What payment methods do you accept?

Apple Pay, Google Pay, card or cash. Payment is taken after the job is complete.
