Prime Waste Services provides muck away by grab lorry across Banstead (SM7). We remove excavated soil, clay, hardcore and inert spoil from basement digs, extension footings and driveway excavations. Each load carries up to 20 cubic yards, approximately 16 tonnes, which typically replaces several skips in one visit.
There is no skip permit to arrange because the lorry loads and leaves, and the crane reaches up to 7.5m depending on vehicle and site conditions, so spoil can be lifted from a front garden or over a wall without the lorry coming onto the site.
Muck away for basement contractors in Banstead
Basement projects produce more spoil than most clients expect. Banstead sits on chalk of the North Downs, often with a layer of clay-with-flints on top. Soil can take up 25 to 30% more room once dug. As an illustration, digging a 5m by 8m basement to 3m deep removes 120m³ in the ground, which becomes roughly 150m³ loose, or around ten full grab lorry loads. We work with basement conversion specialists, excavation and underpinning contractors to schedule regular collections so the spoil heap never stops the dig.
Muck away for driveway and extension contractors in Banstead
Driveway contractors and resin driveway installers in Banstead typically dig out 200 to 300mm to make room for a proper sub-base. On a 50m² drive that is one to two grab loads of soil and old surface. House extension builders need strip foundations and drainage trenches cleared just as quickly. Local jobs we see include full driveway replacements in resin bound and block paving, large single and double-storey extensions, basement projects under detached homes and landscaped rear gardens and terraces.
We can also bring Type 1 MOT, ballast or sand in on the same visit, so the lorry arrives with stone and leaves with spoil.
What we take, and what we cannot
- Soil, clay and subsoil
- Hardcore, brick and concrete rubble
- Old tarmac and broken paving from driveways
- Stones, chalk and flint
- Green waste, roots and turf (loaded separately)
We do not accept asbestos, gas bottles, batteries, railway sleepers, mattresses, tyres, fridges, freezers, paint, chemicals or liquids. Contaminated soil needs separate arrangements, so tell us if you have any concerns about what is in the ground.
Muck away in Banstead: local knowledge
We cover Banstead High Street, the A217 and the roads around Banstead Downs and Nork, in Reigate and Banstead Borough Council in Surrey. Housing is large detached and semi-detached houses on generous plots, often with long, wide driveways. Plots are usually wide enough for a clear lift over the front boundary from the kerb, and on bigger driveways the lorry can sometimes stand on existing hardstanding. Our lorries reach Banstead down the A217 from our operating centre in Croydon.
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.
Frequently asked questions: muck away in Banstead
How much soil does one grab lorry take?
Up to 20 cubic yards, approximately 16 tonnes per load. That usually replaces several builders’ skips.
Do I need a permit for a grab lorry in Banstead?
No skip permit is needed, because the lorry loads and leaves rather than sitting on the road.
How many loads will my basement dig need?
Work out the volume in the ground, add 25 to 30% for bulking, then divide by around 15m³ per load. A 5m by 8m basement dug 3m deep is roughly ten loads. Send us the drawings and we will estimate it for you.
Will I get a waste transfer note?
Yes. A waste transfer note is issued for every load, under our Environment Agency waste carrier registration CBDU480663.
Can you collect the same day?
Same-day and next-day collections are often possible, subject to availability.
