We load it, we sweep up after ourselves, and it goes to a licensed transfer station — not a lay-by in Essex. Tell us roughly how much there is and you get a price straight away.
Most rubbish clearance quotes in London arrive by phone, a day later, from someone who has not seen the pile. Ours does not. You pick the load size that looks closest to what you have, tell us the floor and whether there is a lift, and the price appears on screen. If the crew turns up and it is smaller than you thought, we size it down on the spot rather than holding you to the bigger number.
The work is the same work we do on a removal, which is why we do it with the same people. Two of us, a Luton van, blankets and a sack barrow. We carry it down — you do not need to bring anything to the kerb first, and you do not need to be there for the whole job if you would rather leave a key with a neighbour. Flats above the third floor with no lift take longer and we account for that when you tell us, not afterwards.
Where it goes matters more than most people are told. Household and office waste that leaves a London property is controlled waste, and moving it is only legal if the carrier is registered with the Environment Agency and the load is tipped at a licensed facility. Fly-tipped waste is traced back to the person who produced it, not the man who took it away, so the householder can be prosecuted for a van they hired in good faith. Ask any clearance firm for their registration number before they load. Ours is on this page.
We work across every London postcode, most often in the east and north-east — Walthamstow, Leyton, Hackney, Tottenham, Stratford and the streets around them. That matters for a clearance more than it does for a move: we already know which roads have a red route, where a permit bay makes the difference between parking outside and carrying forty metres, and which estates want the van off the podium deck before the school run.
Typical jobs are a garage or a loft that has quietly filled up, an office refit with a room of dead desk chairs, a garden that has finished being a building site, or a full house clearance after a tenancy ends. Landlords and agents use us between lets, when the deadline is the check-in date and nobody wants to hear about a waiting list. Whatever the job, the sequence is the same: size the load, book the slot, and it is gone the same morning.
Straight from the same table the booking form quotes from, so this page cannot drift out of date. Pick the one nearest your pile — the crew sizes it down if you have over-estimated.

Four things move the number, and you can see all four before you commit to anything.
We price by how much of the van it fills, not by weight or by the hour. Each size below includes an amount of labour time for the two of us to carry it out.
Floor level, whether there is a working lift, and how many steps sit between the door and the kerb. A third-floor walk-up is a longer job than a ground-floor flat with the same amount of stuff.
The standard crew is two. A third or fourth person cuts a big clearance down and can be added when you book.
Items that need their own disposal route, an extra stop, or the Congestion Zone. These are listed line by line on the quote rather than folded into a round number.
If two people can carry it down a staircase, it can go in the van. The common ones, and what they mean for the job:
These need a hazardous waste carrier, and no reputable clearance firm will put them in with the rest. Your council or the Environment Agency can point you at the right route for each.
Everything we collect is tipped at a licensed transfer station and we keep the transfer notes, which you are welcome to a copy of.
The booking calendar only offers slots we can actually staff, so what you see there is real availability rather than a request somebody rings you back about. Pick the earliest one that suits you and it is confirmed there and then, without a site visit first.
No. The crew comes into the property and carries it out, including from upstairs flats and lofts with a proper ladder. Tell us the floor and whether there is a working lift when you book, so the right amount of time is set aside for the stairs instead of the job overrunning.
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is sorted for recycling, energy recovery or specialist streams such as fridges, mattresses and electricals. Nothing is left in a lay-by or a side street. We hold the waste transfer documentation for every load and can send you a copy.
Yes. Moving controlled waste in the UK requires registration with the Environment Agency, and the liability for fly-tipped waste follows the person who produced it as well as the carrier. Our registration number is shown on this page so you can look it up on the public register.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do for landlords and letting agents. A full clearance is usually one or two van loads depending on how furnished the property was. If access is only possible outside normal hours, say so when you book and we will work around the building.
The crew re-sizes it in front of you before anything goes in the van, and the quote is adjusted to the size that actually applies. It works in both directions — an over-estimate comes down just as readily as an under-estimate goes up, so pick the size that looks closest and let us confirm it.
Pick a load size, tell us the floor and the postcode, and you will have a price on screen in under a minute. No callback, no site visit.
