About our Edinburgh service

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, with a medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, a large finance, tourism, government and university economy, and the world's biggest arts festival each August. Our team handles rubble removal throughout Edinburgh, from Newington and Gorgie out to Comely Bank.

Rubble removal in Edinburgh should be simple. Give us a few details about the job, and we will come back with a fixed price and the earliest date we can do it.

The property mix in Edinburgh is mainly Tenement flats, Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and bungalows, so each quote takes into account the building, parking and access and when you need it done.

Older properties around Edinburgh sometimes turn up asbestos cement sheets or old floor tiles in the rubble, which are always set aside rather than loaded with brick and concrete.

Garden rooms and patio replacements in Edinburgh produce a lot of soil and old hardcore, which is kept separate from other waste so it can go for recycling.

The process is quick: fill in the form, we reply with a price the same day in most cases, you confirm, and a local team completes the job in Edinburgh on the agreed date.

Can I take rubble to the tip myself?

Often, yes, in small amounts.

Waste from a paid builder counts as trade waste and is not accepted at household sites.
