Every replacement job ends with the same question: what do I do with the old windows? In London the options all cost - except one.
A skip in London typically runs well over £200 for a small builder's skip once permits, parking suspensions and council charges stack up. Add the hire window and the wasted space when frames are bulky and light, and the maths gets worse - uPVC fills a skip fast but weighs little.
Man-and-van clearance services charge by volume or weight. Bulky light loads like frames are priced unfavourably - you pay for volume, not value.
Only viable for tiny domestic jobs - and trade waste is generally not accepted at HWRCs, so it isn't an option for fitters at all.
PVC Recovery UK collects old uPVC frames from London trade jobs free of charge. The recovered material is recycled, which funds the service. You get a compliant electronic waste transfer note within 24 hours and zero disposal cost.
For a working fitter doing multiple replacement jobs a week, free collection isn't a discount - it's the removal of a whole cost line, with better paperwork than a skip receipt.
Free trade collection anywhere in London. eWTN within 24 hours.
