Builders Waste Removal in London

What builders’ waste we collect
From a few bags of rubble to full renovation loads:
- Rubble, bricks, concrete and tiles
- Soil and hardcore (where accepted)
- Wood, timber and old doors
- Plasterboard — on its own or in mixed loads
- Packaging, cardboard and offcuts
- Mixed loads from kitchen and bathroom refits
Builders’ waste removal done properly
Building and renovation work produces a lot of heavy debris. Leaving it on site — or overloading a skip — can be unsafe, block access and lead to fines if the waste isn’t disposed of correctly.
Handing it over to a licensed waste carrier takes that risk off your shoulders. We load the waste for you, take it to licensed facilities and recycle as much as possible — much construction waste, such as rubble, metal and wood, can be recovered.
We work for homeowners, builders and trades — from one-off renovation clear-ups to repeat collections from the same site. Afirmax is a registered waste carrier (licence CBDU317594).
Your duty of care
Anyone who hands over waste has a legal duty to check it goes to an authorised carrier. If it ends up fly-tipped by an unlicensed operator, you can be fined as well. Three simple checks protect you:
- Check the licence. Ours is CBDU317594 and you can look it up on the Environment Agency’s public register of waste carriers.
- Keep the paperwork. Businesses and trades should keep each waste transfer note for two years. Ask us for one when you book.
- Keep plasterboard apart where you can. It has to be handled separately at waste sites, so a separate pile makes loading quicker.

Skip hire or a waste collection: which suits your job?
A collection usually suits you if
- the waste is already bagged or piled up and ready to go
- there is no room on your drive, and a skip on the road would need a council permit
- you would rather we did the loading
- the job produces waste in one or two batches
A skip may suit you better if
- you will be adding waste bit by bit over several weeks
- you have a private drive with room for one
- you are happy to load it yourself

Can you do regular collections for builders?
Yes. We work with builders and trades on repeat collections from the same site — get in touch to arrange it.
What can’t you take?
Asbestos and some hazardous chemicals need specialist removal. If you’re unsure, send a photo and we’ll advise.
