Prime Waste Services clears demolition waste by grab lorry across Coulsdon (CR5). Bricks, concrete, blockwork, rubble, hardcore, tiles, slabs and old tarmac are lifted straight from the site, with up to 20 cubic yards, approximately 16 tonnes, going in each load.
Demolition rubble is heavy and fills a skip by weight long before it is full by volume. A grab lorry takes far more per visit, needs no skip permit, and the crane reaches up to 7.5m depending on vehicle and site conditions, so rubble can be lifted from behind a wall or from a rear garden within reach.
Who we clear demolition waste for in Coulsdon
In Coulsdon we see a steady run of driveway rebuilds on sloping plots, extensions cut into hillsides, retaining wall rebuilds and garage demolitions. Our customers include house extension builders knocking down old garages, conservatories and outriggers, basement contractors breaking out floors and walls, driveway contractors breaking up old concrete and tarmac, and demolition contractors and developers clearing whole plots.
Breaking out old driveways and patios
Driveway contractors and resin driveway installers in Coulsdon often lift a full drive of old concrete or tarmac before laying a new one. We take the broken surface and the soil beneath it, and can deliver Type 1 MOT for the new sub-base on the same visit where the job allows.
What we take, and what we cannot
- Brick, block and concrete
- Rubble, hardcore and mixed inert building waste
- Broken paving slabs, tiles and kerbs
- Old tarmac and asphalt
- Soil and subsoil from below demolished structures
We do not accept asbestos, gas bottles, batteries, railway sleepers, mattresses, tyres, fridges, freezers, paint, chemicals or liquids. Asbestos was widely used in buildings until 1999, so if the structure was built before 2000, arrange an asbestos survey before demolition starts. Any asbestos must be removed by a licensed specialist before we load.
Demolition waste removal in Coulsdon: local knowledge
We cover Brighton Road (A23), the town centre relief road, Old Coulsdon and the roads up towards Coulsdon Common, in the London Borough of Croydon. Typical buildings are detached and semi-detached houses on sloping plots, many with steep driveways and retaining walls. Slopes and retaining walls make barrow runs hard work, so the crane lifting from the road saves a lot of labour on Coulsdon jobs.
Licensed, insured and documented
We hold Environment Agency waste carrier registration CBDU480663 (upper tier, carrier and dealer) and Goods Vehicle Operator Licence OK2066087. Our drivers are CPCS compliant, CSCS registered and DBS checked, we are fully insured, and a waste transfer note is issued for every load we take away.
