About this service
What rubbish removal portishead actually looks like.
Rubbish removal in Portishead covers everything from one armchair and a few bin bags up to a full van of garage clear-out. I price by load size rather than weight — £60 small load, £120 quarter van, £220 half van, £380 full van — confirmed on arrival once I’ve seen the pile. No VAT, no call-out. I do the loading; you don’t. Portishead is on my doorstep so most jobs here go in the diary within a day or two.
What I take and what I can’t
General household rubbish, furniture, white goods, garden waste, broken flat-pack, old DIY offcuts, mixed loads — all fine. What I can’t take in a mixed load: asbestos, paint and chemicals, tyres, clinical waste, and gas bottles. Those need specialist disposal and I’ll point you the right way if you mention them up front.
Loading and access
Portishead is dominated by the modern Marina development and the post-2000 estates spreading inland, with a smaller older core around the High Street. Marina flats are nearly all lift access with a delivery bay — easy if you’ve booked the bay, fiddly if you haven’t. The older streets around the High Street are tighter. I do the carrying — sack truck, gloves, blankets to protect paintwork. Where the van can’t park within twenty metres I’ll factor walking distance into the load time, but I won’t add a hidden surcharge for it.

About us
Checkatrade — 9.8/10 · 164 ReviewsBristol Local Van Man — removals and clearance in Bristol.
Bristol Local Van Man is run by Nigel, a Nailsea-based owner-operator with 15+ years in removals and clearance across Bristol, Bath and the wider South West. We handle removals, rubbish clearance, house clearance and office clearance under one roof.
Most jobs are done by Nigel direct. Busy weeks and larger jobs bring in trusted local drivers Nigel has worked with for years — every one carries the same waste-carrier paperwork and works to the same fixed-price standard.
Waste is carried away under our UK registered waste carrier licence (CBDU445737), so items taken off your property go to a licensed facility rather than a side street.
Whether you’re moving a one-bed flat in central Bristol, clearing a probate property in Bath, or stripping out an office in Weston-super-Mare, get a price up front before anything is loaded.
