Most renovations do not produce neat piles of clean brick. They produce a mix: hacked-off plaster, old floorboards and skirting, broken tiles, a removed bathroom suite, kitchen units, packaging and offcuts. Mixed waste is lighter per load than rubble, but it costs more to dispose of, because it has to be sorted at a transfer station before anything can be recycled.
This service clears the whole lot in one visit. Materials that must be kept apart, chiefly plasterboard and anything that may contain asbestos, are separated or flagged before loading. Timber, metal and inert rubble are kept apart where practical, which keeps disposal costs down and means more of the load can be recovered rather than landfilled. Bulky items such as baths and kitchen units are broken down or loaded whole, whichever is quicker and safer.
