Before you book
- What it costs
- From £200 for a half load of soil to £840 for a full load of general waste, VAT included.
- What's included
- The grab lorry and driver, loading by the grab and licensed disposal, with a waste transfer note. A full load is about 16 tonnes or 14 cubic yards.
- Who loads it
- The grab lifts the pile itself, over walls and fences. It needs to be within about 6 metres of where the lorry can stand, with no cables overhead.
- When we come
- Booked Monday to Friday, except bank holidays, from the next working day.
- What could cost extra
- General waste costs more than soil or hardcore, so keep them apart: a half load of hardcore is £216, a half load of general waste £432.
- After you book
- Pay by card when you book online, through Stripe's secure checkout, and your confirmation comes by email. Free to cancel until 4pm the working day before; after that £42, or the booking price if that is less.

Rather ask first?
Tap a few answers about the job and add a photo or two. We come back with an estimate by phone, text, WhatsApp or email, usually the same working day.
- A photo is the quickest way to an accurate estimate.
- The estimate is based on what you tell us and your photos. If the job turns out different on the day, such as more waste or harder access than described, we agree any change with you before we start.
- No obligation, and nothing to pay until you book.
- Awkward access, mixed waste or a job that isn't on the list: this is the form for it.
