Construction waste removal
Construction Waste Removal in London & the South East
Construction waste clearance is the collection, segregation and removal of waste from building, strip-out and demolition work by a registered waste carrier. It covers loading the waste, separating recyclable materials such as metals, timber, plasterboard and hardcore, removing it under duty of care, and supplying waste transfer notes for every load.

What Construction Waste Clearance Includes
Every building project produces waste, and the faster it leaves site the safer and tidier the site stays. Construction waste clearance takes that problem off your hands: we collect the waste, keep the different materials apart, remove them to the right facilities and give you the paperwork to prove it was handled properly.
We arrange skips or grab lorries to suit the volume and the access on your site, priced per load or by the tonne. Waste is segregated as it is loaded rather than tipped as one mixed load. That matters, because mixed waste costs more per tonne to dispose of than separated streams, and clean inert material such as concrete and brick is cheaper still.
Hazardous waste, including asbestos, cannot be mixed with general construction waste. It needs separate arrangements under the hazardous waste rules and is priced separately.
Who it's for
Who Our Waste Clearance Is For
Our waste clearance is a trade service for construction and commercial sites. We work for main contractors, developers, fit-out and refurbishment firms, landlords and facilities managers, clearing the waste generated by building, strip-out and demolition work.
It suits sites where waste is building up between phases, projects where other trades have left material behind, and landlords clearing units at the end of a lease. If you are clearing household rubbish from a home, a domestic rubbish removal service will usually suit you better.
Your responsibilities
Your Duty of Care as a Waste Producer
Many clients do not realise that responsibility for waste does not end when it leaves the site. Under the waste duty of care, anyone who produces or handles waste must take reasonable steps to make sure it is managed and disposed of properly. If waste you produced is fly-tipped by an unregistered carrier, you can be held responsible.
In practice, the duty comes down to three things:
- Use a registered waste carrier. Anyone can check a carrier on the Environment Agency's public register of waste carriers before handing waste over.
- Describe the waste accurately, so it goes to a facility that can lawfully accept it.
- Keep the paperwork. Waste transfer notes must be kept for at least two years, and consignment notes for hazardous waste for three.
The government's waste duty of care code of practice sets out the full requirements. We are a registered waste carrier and supply a waste transfer note with every load, so you have the records you need.
If your waste is fly-tipped by an unregistered carrier, you can be held responsible.
Recycling
Segregation and Recycling
Separating waste on site is the single biggest thing that keeps disposal costs down and recycling rates up. We keep the main construction waste streams apart as they are loaded:
- Metals, including ductwork, cable, studs and steel, go to metal recycling.
- Timber from joinery, packaging and formwork is separated for recovery.
- Plasterboard and gypsum must be kept separate from general waste and is recycled.
- Brick, concrete and hardcore can be crushed and reused as aggregate.
- Mixed general waste is kept to what genuinely cannot be separated.
Our target is 95% or more of waste diverted from landfill. Because inert material is charged at lower rates than mixed waste, good segregation is usually cheaper as well as greener.

“The Strip and Clear guys sorted our soft strip out in Surrey. Came in, stripped the office back to shell, took all the waste away and left it tidy. No messing about. Would use them again.”
James TCommercial Soft Strip “Used Strip & Clear for the demo and site clearance on a job in London. Lads turned up on time, cracked on with the strip and knock down, and got the site cleared properly with the transfer notes sorted. No drama. Good crew.”
