Waste Removal for HMOs and Shared Houses in Wandsworth

Wandsworth has a large stock of shared houses and HMOs, particularly around Tooting, the Putney borders and the streets fanning out from Clapham Junction. When several tenants move at the same time, the amount of bulky waste can be surprising.

Three or four separate mattresses, a couple of bed frames and a shared sofa add up quickly, and they rarely arrive at the kerbside in a tidy, coordinated way.

In a rented shared house, bulky items left behind usually fall to the landlord or letting agent to clear, while day-to-day rubbish is the occupants' responsibility. Getting that division clear before a move-out avoids the familiar standoff over a mattress in the hallway.

Whoever books, the council's rules and charges apply. Landlords clear a rented property at the landlord rate, and items still have to be presented at street level.

The hard part in an HMO is not usually volume; it is timing. Tenants leave on different days, shares get left in communal areas, and the load builds up in fits and starts. Rubbish left in shared hallways quickly becomes a problem for everyone.

A single clearance visit removes the whole accumulated load at once, rather than several partial bookings that each cost money and each only cover part of the problem.

We clear HMOs and shared houses in one visit, working room by room so communal areas are left usable for the tenants who remain or for the next tenancy.

For landlords and agents, the goal is a clean, clear property ready for viewings or check-in. Booking the clearance as one job, with the awkward shared items included, is the simplest way to get there without leaving anything behind for the next group of tenants.
