Rubbish removal in Erdington
B23 and B24. Terraces with cellars, converted flats and a lot of end of tenancy work. We are over this side of the city most days.
Three kinds of property, three kinds of job
Erdington is not one housing type and that changes what we get called out for. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Six Ways and Stockland Green nearly all have cellars, rear entries and no driveway. The interwar semis out towards Pype Hayes and Perry Common have gardens, garages and lofts. And there is a high proportion of converted flats and shared houses throughout, which generates a steady flow of void and end of tenancy work.
Cellars, and why they take longer
Cellar clearances are the job we do most often in the older parts of Erdington. Narrow stone steps, low headroom, no lighting and usually damp. Everything comes up by hand, one armful at a time, and there is rarely anywhere to stage it on the way out.
It is a straightforward job, it just is not a fast one, and any quote that treats a cellar like a spare bedroom is going to get revised on the day. We price it properly up front instead.
Rear entries and no driveway
Most of the terraced streets here have a shared rear entry rather than off street parking. That means we park on the road and carry, either through the house or round the back. It is fine, we do it constantly, but tell us which street you are on because some of them are tight enough that a Luton needs thinking about.
Landlords and agents
Erdington has one of the higher concentrations of converted flats and shared houses in north Birmingham, which means voids, abandoned belongings and the occasional room that has been left in a state.
We work on key access, send before and after photos the same day and invoice properly with the transfer note. If you have several properties round here, ring and we will set up a standing slot.
Fly tipping in the alleyways
The rear entries behind the terraces attract dumping, and once one mattress appears others follow within a fortnight. If it is on your land, clearing it is unfortunately your responsibility rather than the council's. Here is how that works and what to do first.
What we do here
- Full and part house clearances, including probate and end of tenancy
- Garage, loft, shed and cellar clearances
- Single items such as sofas, mattresses and fridges
- Garden and green waste, including sheds and old decking
- Builders waste and rubble from strip outs and renovations
- Fly tipping clearance from driveways, alleyways and shared spaces
- Man and van for small moves and storage runs

Erdington questions
Do you cover all of Erdington?
Yes. Erdington High Street, Six Ways, Stockland Green, Short Heath, Pype Hayes, Gravelly Hill and Perry Common. B23 and B24, and we are over that side constantly because Castle Vale is next door.
A lot of the houses here have cellars. Do you clear those?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we get in Erdington. The older terraces around Stockland Green and Six Ways nearly all have cellars, usually with narrow steps, low headroom and no lighting. Same job as anywhere else, just slower, and we price it honestly rather than pretending it is the same as a ground floor room.
I am a landlord with an HMO. Can you clear between tenants?
Yes, that is a big part of what we do here. Erdington has a high proportion of converted flats and shared houses, which means a steady flow of room clearances and full voids. We can work on key access and send photos plus the transfer note for your file.
How quickly can you get to Erdington?
Usually the same day. It is one of the closest areas to where we are already working most mornings.
