What's included in waste clearance in Sidcup?

Waste clearance in Sidcup with RLE Waste Clearance includes a two-person crew, the carrying and loading, the drive and the disposal, with the price agreed before anything is lifted. You pay for the space your waste fills across 13 load sizes, and no parking fees or fines are passed on to you.

A few items carry a set charge on top, fridges and mattresses among them, and they're listed under extra items. Bexley's own bulky crews won't collect from inside the home, so ours do the carrying from the flat to the truck. You get a waste transfer note and a receipt when you pay, which are worth keeping with the tenancy paperwork. A photo of the waste and your postcode sent to 07534 244774 is usually enough for a price.

How much does it cost to clear a flat in Sidcup?

Clearing a studio flat in Sidcup with a bed, a wardrobe and some bags costs about £130 plus VAT, as it's around a quarter truck, 4 cubic yards. The full contents of a one-bed flat are nearer half a truck, 7.5 cubic yards, at £180 plus VAT. Flat clearance has more on clearing flats.

Flats are a big part of Sidcup's housing: more than four in ten homes in Sidcup ward are flats, against about a quarter across the borough, going by Census 2021 (external site) figures. Bexley's bulky crews won't come inside, so a wardrobe on the second floor has to be carried down and left out before the council will take it. Our two-person crew does the stairs.

How does an end-of-tenancy clearance work if I can't be there?

You don't have to see the flat on clearance day. Send photos of each room with the postcode, and we'll confirm a price before the crew goes. A key safe, or someone already at the property, can let us in. Tell us what stays, such as white goods that belong to the let, and we clear the rest.

Bexley Council tells residents to use a registered waste carrier (council advice (external site)), and RLE is an upper tier registered waste carrier, broker and dealer, number CBDU175566. Payment is on completion by card, cash, bank transfer or company cheque, though not personal cheques, and you get a waste transfer note and a receipt. Commercial accounts are available, subject to credit checks. When it's a whole house rather than a flat, see house clearance in Sidcup.

What a tenant leaves behind in Sidcup is landlord waste, and Bexley Council counts landlord waste as commercial, which its tips don't accept even when it comes in a car. RLE Waste Clearance takes landlord and tenancy waste as an ordinary load, carried down from the flat by a two-person crew, and you get a waste transfer note and a receipt for the tenancy file.

Bexley's bulky collection in Sidcup starts at £50, or £67.50 on a Saturday, and pensioners get more items for the same price (arrange a bulky collection (external site)). Everything has to be outside but off the highway, because the council crews won't collect from inside the home. A load from us is priced by space instead, with the carrying included. Council bulky waste collections compared sets Bexley's fees beside nine other councils'.

Loading on Hatherley Road, Granville Road, Birkbeck Road and Burnt Oak Lane in Sidcup is allowed for up to 40 minutes of active loading, unless there's a loading ban (Bexley CPZ list (external site)). These are among Sidcup's controlled parking roads. Any parking fee or fine on the day is ours to pay, never passed on to you.

Fridges and mattresses left in a Sidcup rental go in the same load as the furniture. A fridge, fridge freezer or upright freezer is £60 plus VAT on top of the load, a chest freezer or American fridge freezer £90 plus VAT, and each mattress £10 plus VAT. Standard cookers, washing machines and other white goods go in with everything else. See fridge disposal and mattress disposal.

RLE Waste Clearance can't take chemicals or other hazardous waste from a Sidcup flat, or any clinical waste, sharps or medicines. Asbestos that has already been removed can go if you tell us about it first, and mention anything you're unsure about when you send the photos. If the crew finds hazardous waste on the day, it stays where it is and we tell you. Paint is £10 plus VAT for each 5 litres.

A skip permit in Sidcup costs £65 per skip for up to 14 days from Bexley, and the skip company has to apply at least two working days ahead. A skip in a parking bay also needs a bay suspension, paid by the day or the week, and it has to be lit and guarded (skip permits (external site)). We don't hire skips: the truck loads and leaves, so there's nothing to license. Skip permit costs in Bromley, Bexley and Greenwich sets Bexley's rules beside its neighbours'.

Every Sidcup clearance comes with a waste transfer note and a receipt, and both are worth keeping on the tenancy file. The waste transfer note records the waste and who took it away: RLE Waste Clearance, an upper tier registered waste carrier, number CBDU175566. Payment is on completion by card, cash, bank transfer or company cheque, and businesses can be invoiced.
