Same-day rubbish removal in Battersea

Call or WhatsApp before around 2pm and we'll usually get to you the same day. Send a photo, we send back a fixed price, and we book a two-hour arrival window. Simple.

Battersea's a real mix — the grand mansion blocks along Prince of Wales Drive, the terraces off Lavender Hill, the Shaftesbury and Winstanley estates, and the new development around the Power Station. This week we've taken a corner sofa and two wardrobes out of a mansion flat facing Battersea Park and cleared a one-bed on Lavender Hill after a tenant moved out. We know the porters, service entrances and loading-bay rules, so the job runs smoothly whether you're in a 1930s block or a 2020s tower.

What we collect in Battersea

If two people can carry it and it's not hazardous, we'll take it. Common Battersea jobs:

• Furniture — sofas, beds, mattresses, wardrobes. See our furniture and appliance removal.

• Appliances — fridges, freezers, washers, dishwashers, cookers.

• Household clutter, garden waste and clearances — moving boxes, old bikes, garden waste removal from the park-side terraces, plus end-of-tenancy, probate and downsizing jobs.

• Office bits — desks, chairs and IT from around Battersea Park Road.

We recycle and reuse what we can, and everything goes to a licensed transfer station with a transfer note — our residential waste collection service, priced to your load.

Wandsworth bulky waste collection vs NV Waste

Battersea is in the London Borough of Wandsworth, and Wandsworth's council offer is actually good in 2026 — so no scare stories from us. Every household gets two free bulky collections a year (up to 4 items or 12 sacks each time), and the council recently cut the wait to within about a week. Credit where it's due.

Here's where a man and van still wins:

Wandsworth Council: 2 free collections/year (up to 4 items each); then £24.90 for up to 4 items, +£11.10 per extra item. Wait within about a week. You put everything out at the kerb yourself. 2 free jobs a year; DIY/building waste separate at £106.70 min. Smugglers Way tip bans vans entirely.

NV Waste: From ~£60, priced by van volume. Same day / next day. Two of us carry it from the flat, however many floors up. No annual cap, no per-item nickel-and-diming. We take it all, van included.

(2026 figures — confirm on Wandsworth's bulky waste page.)

For the full picture, see our Wandsworth bulky waste vs private collection — full comparison.

So: if you've got a couple of small items, they're at the kerb already, and you've not used your two free slots — book the council, it's great value. If it's a big clearance, it's up several floors, you've used your free collections, or you need it gone today, that's us.

Parking, access and awkward buildings

Battersea's buildings each have their own rules and we know them. The mansion blocks on Prince of Wales Drive have service entrances and porters — we'll use the tradesman's door and service lift rather than the main lobby. The new-builds around Battersea Power Station have loading bays, timed access and concierge sign-in; give us the block name and we'll sort the logistics before we arrive.

The older estates and terraces off Lavender Hill are more straightforward, though parking gets tight. Wherever we pull up, we do the carrying. You don't need to be there — plenty of Battersea customers leave items with the concierge or in a hallway and pay by card once we've sent photos of the cleared space.

Prices in Battersea

We price by the space your rubbish takes in the van. 2026 guide:

• ⅛ van (a few bags, one small item) — from ~£60

• ¼ van (single sofa or small bedroom) — from ~£100

• ½ van (typical flat clearance) — from ~£180

• ¾ van — from ~£260

• Full Luton van (large house clearance) — from ~£320

Both team members, all the lifting and licensed disposal are included — no fuel surcharge, no per-item extras. See also skip hire vs man and van costs.

A licensed carrier — why it protects you

The cheap "junk gone today" ads on local Battersea groups skip one thing. Under section 34(2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, you as the householder have a duty of care to make sure your waste only goes to a registered carrier. Hand your sofa to an unregistered bloke who fly-tips it on Lavender Hill, and the council can trace it to you — you're looking at a fixed penalty of up to £600, or an unlimited fine if prosecuted.

This isn't hypothetical. England recorded 1.26 million fly-tipping incidents in 2024/25, most of it household waste (Defra fly-tipping statistics). NV Waste is a registered Environment Agency waste carrier — ask for our number and check it on the Environment Agency's public register (or call 03708 506 506). Every job comes with a waste transfer note, so you're protected. The full rules are in the gov.uk code of practice.
