Waste Removal
Skip-hire alternative. We turn up with the van, load it ourselves, and clear it the same day — household, garden, builders' waste, anything you need shifted. No skip on the drive, no permit to chase, just the job done.

What we do
Trusted across four core services.
Same team, same van, same digger — from a single skip-load to a full site strip.
Garden Clearance
Overgrown borders, end-of-season tidy-ups, tree limbs after a storm, fence-line bramble — we clear it down and take it all away. From a single load to a full-garden reset, priced reasonably so you can finally get round to it.
Free quoteHouse Clearance
End-of-tenancy, probate, downsizing, garage or attic stripped back — we handle the lot. Discreet, friendly, and respectful, with a single price for the job rather than per-item nickel-and-diming.
Free quoteGroundworks & Digger Work
Light groundworks, footings, slab dig-outs, muck-away, post-build clearance — we run our own digger so the same team strips and clears. Ideal for self-builders, renovators, and trades who need plant without booking a second contractor.
Free quoteProof of work
Before & after.
Real jobs we've cleared, dug, and finished in and around Launceston. Same team, same digger, start to finish.
Side-path groundworks
Trenched, edged, drained, and finished with gravel — typical side-path job done end-to-end by the same team.
Garage clearance
Garage packed wall-to-wall with years of paint cans, tools, and household clutter — cleared back to the bare floor and walls. End-of-tenancy and downsizing jobs done discreetly, with a single price for the whole job.
Drainage & overgrowth clearance
Bramble-choked drainage ditch cleared back to a usable path. Garden clearance with the digger for the heavy work.
Site clearance with the digger
Collapsed outbuilding behind temporary fencing — corrugated iron, broken timber, and rubble. Cleared back to the original stone walls with the mini-digger and taken off site in one job.
