How much does rubbish removal cost in Petts Wood?
Rubbish removal in Petts Wood with RLE Waste Clearance costs £60 to £360 plus VAT, priced by the space your waste takes in a 15 cubic yard truck. As a rough guide, a loft of boxes and old furniture is about a quarter truck at £130 plus VAT, and a full garage half a truck at £180 plus VAT.
Our base on Camden Mews in Chislehurst is about two miles away. Nearly three in four homes here are semis or detached houses, and 44.5% of households (external site) own their home outright, against 33.0% across the borough, so the work is mostly long-filled lofts, garages and sheds, or a whole house emptied for a sale or after a death. Send a photo and your postcode on WhatsApp to 07534 244774 and we'll confirm the price before we start, with no obligation.

Why are lofts and garages the usual Petts Wood job?
Most of the suburb went up in the late 1920s and 1930s, to a 1928 masterplan for developer Basil Scruby, with about 45 different builders putting up neo-Tudor semis and detached houses. Semis make up 45.6% of homes (external site) in Petts Wood and Knoll ward and detached houses 28.5%, both well above the borough. Owners tend to stay, so the loft, the garage and the garden shed fill up quietly over decades.
The size of the job often depends on which side of the railway you're on. East of the line the houses and plots are larger. West of it, where later builders took over, they're smaller and closer together. A photo tells us more than a description, so send one of each space. See loft clearance and garage clearance for what's involved, or house clearance for a whole house.
Is a skip a good fit for a Petts Wood street?
Often not. The council's appraisals describe the suburb's deep front gardens, grass verges and mature trees, and much of it sits in conservation areas (Chislehurst Road, The Chenies, Station Square, The Thrifts and The Covert) or the wider Area of Special Residential Character.
A skip on the road needs a licence that only a registered skip company can get from Bromley. It costs £50 and lasts two weeks, and the skip stays outside your house until it's full and collected. You do the filling, and the clear-out happens at your pace rather than in one go.
We work the other way round. Leave the waste on the drive or in the front garden, or show us where it is, and we load it and drive away the same visit. There's no permit, no bay suspension and nothing left on the verge, and you pay only for the space the waste takes up. Our alternative to skip hire page compares the two in more detail.
Kitchen, bathroom and flooring jobs in a ninety-year-old house go in the same load as everything else, and heavy builders' waste is £360 plus VAT for up to 15 cubic yards or 1,200kg. See kitchen and bathroom rip out.

What if the green bin can't cope with a Petts Wood garden?
Bromley's garden waste goes in the £80-a-year green bin or £3.10 stickered sacks of up to 20kg, and neither takes trunks, large branches, soil or rubble. A long front hedge cut back hard, or a back garden of overgrown shrubs, soon outgrows a bin.
We take branches, hedge cuttings, soil and turf, along with old sheds, which we dismantle and take away. See garden clearance, or garden waste removal if it's already cut and bagged.

A Petts Wood rubbish removal price includes a two-person crew, the loading time for that load size, transport and disposal. Loading runs from 5 minutes on the smallest load to 60 on a full truck, and if a big loft job runs past that, extra labour is £30 plus VAT per 30 minutes. RLE Waste Clearance confirms the price before any work starts.
Bromley's bulky collection costs from £43 in Petts Wood, with the price set by the number and type of items, and cancelling late costs another £43. Items go out at the front of the property, and the council crew collects within 10 working days of payment. For things still in the loft or the garage, our crew carries them out and takes them away in one visit.
The loft, garage and shed of a Petts Wood house can all be cleared in one visit and priced together by the total load, so you get one price for the lot rather than three. Send a photo of each space and your postcode, and we'll confirm the price before we start. A shed is taken apart and loaded with everything else.
Hedge cuttings and branches from a Petts Wood garden go on the truck with the rest of a garden clear-out, priced by the space they take up. A long front hedge cut back hard often makes more than the green bin can hold, and the bin doesn't take large branches at all. Send a photo of the pile, or of the garden before it's cut.
Parking around Station Square in Petts Wood is pay-by-phone echelon bays, Monday to Saturday 8:30am to 6:30pm, and Petts Wood Road near Woodland Way is £1 an hour, Monday to Saturday 8am to 5:30pm. The crew loads and leaves on the same visit, and we don't pass parking fees or fines on to you. Mention the flat or shop when you send the photo.
RLE Waste Clearance can collect from a Petts Wood drive or front garden while you're out, as long as the crew can reach the waste and knows what's going. We agree the price from photos first, from £60 plus VAT, load everything, and send a waste transfer note and a receipt once you've paid by card or bank transfer.
A parent's house in Petts Wood can be cleared without the family there on the day, as long as we can get in, say with a key safe. Over a quarter of households in the ward, 1,846 of them, are made up entirely of people aged 66 or over, and families often live some distance away. We agree the price from photos first, and payment is on completion by card, cash, bank transfer or company cheque. See probate house clearance.
