Demolition waste removal in Reigate is a grab lorry job for Prime Waste Services: brick, block, concrete, rubble, hardcore, slabs and old tarmac from a knock-down or break-out in RH2 are lifted from the road and taken away in loads of up to 20 cubic yards, approximately 16 tonnes, each with a waste transfer note.
Use this page when the job is knocking something down or breaking something out: a garage, outbuilding, conservatory, internal walls, an old drive or a patio. If the job is mainly digging out soil, see muck away in Reigate; for clearances and bulk waste, see grab lorry hire in Reigate.
What demolition jobs do we clear in Reigate?
Most of our work in Reigate is domestic and light commercial, and on the demolition side that means hardcore and rubble from small demolitions and break-outs. The people who book us are builders and groundworkers, small to medium contractors, developers and refurbishment contractors, landscapers lifting old patios, and homeowners running a large renovation where a grab lorry is quicker than a run of skips.
Is a grab lorry better than skips for demolition rubble in Reigate?
For most demolition jobs it is: rubble is heavy and fills a skip by weight long before it is full by volume, while one grab lorry load takes up to 20 cubic yards or approximately 16 tonnes, which typically replaces several skips. No skip permit is needed because the lorry loads and leaves, so nothing sits on a Reigate street for days.
What demolition waste can go on the lorry, and what cannot?
- Brick, block and concrete from walls, garages and outbuildings
- Rubble, hardcore and mixed inert building waste from strip-outs
- Paving slabs, tiles and kerbs lifted from drives and patios
- Broken-up tarmac and asphalt
- Soil and subsoil dug out from under the old structure
We do not accept asbestos, gas bottles, batteries, railway sleepers, mattresses, tyres, fridges, freezers, paint, chemicals or liquids. If a building you are taking down may contain asbestos, have it surveyed and any asbestos removed by a licensed specialist before demolition, because we cannot load it. Keep plasterboard, timber and packaging out of the rubble pile where you can: a mixed load is classified differently from clean hardcore. Any asbestos must be removed by a licensed specialist before we load.
How does the lorry reach a Reigate site, and where does it stand?
Reigate is about 10.7 miles from our operating centre in Croydon: around 34 minutes in a car by the A23 and the A25 Reigate Road, or from M25 junction 8 down the A217 Reigate Hill. A loaded lorry takes longer, and these times are typical rather than guaranteed.
In the town centre, through traffic between the High Street and London Road runs on the A217 Bell Street, because the old Tunnel Road tunnel carries no vehicles. A lorry standing there is on the busiest road in town, so we agree the standing position and the time of day before it leaves the yard. The crane reaches up to 7.5m depending on vehicle and site conditions, so rubble can be lifted over a wall, fence or parked car from the road. Our route from Croydon to Reigate page has the full detail.
Can I take trade demolition rubble to Earlswood recycling centre?
No. Earlswood Community Recycling Centre on Horley Road, Redhill, the nearest Surrey site to Reigate, is household only and does not accept business waste, and vans, pickups and trailers need a permit. Rubble from a builder’s or contractor’s job needs a licensed carrier. 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 every load leaves with a waste transfer note.
Demolition waste removal in Reigate: your questions answered
How many loads will my Reigate demolition fill?
It depends on weight more than size: rubble usually reaches the 16 tonne limit before the 20 cubic yard body is full. Tell us what is coming down, such as a single garage or a run of internal walls, and its rough dimensions, and we will quote the number of loads.
What if the building might contain asbestos?
Have an asbestos survey done before work starts and any asbestos removed by a licensed specialist. We can load the clean demolition waste once that is done; we cannot take asbestos at all.
Do I need a skip permit or road licence for a grab lorry in Reigate?
No. The lorry loads and leaves, so no skip permit is needed. On the A25 and A217 town-centre roads we agree the loading time and standing position with you in advance.
Can you bring Type 1 for the new base when you collect the rubble?
Yes, where the job allows. We deliver MOT Type 1, crushed concrete, ballast, sand, topsoil and shingle into RH2, so the lorry can arrive loaded and leave with the rubble. See aggregate delivery in Reigate.
How much does demolition waste removal in Reigate cost?
Each job is quoted individually on the load size, the waste type, the distance and the access. The quote is free and there is no obligation to book.
How soon can you collect in Reigate?
Same-day and next-day collections are possible but always subject to availability, so call 07778 541120 as early as you can.
Will I get paperwork for the rubble?
Yes. A waste transfer note is issued for every load under our waste carrier registration CBDU480663; keep it for at least two years.
