How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the wood waste disposal at your Gateshead address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Gateshead. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected wood waste disposal from Gateshead is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Wood Waste Disposal starts from £95. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate

What we do and do not take
Treated, painted and tanalised timber is a separate grade. Railway sleepers and creosote-treated wood are hazardous and outside our scope.
All waste is collected by registered waste carriers and taken to licensed facilities. Waste transfer documentation is provided where applicable.
Wood Waste Disposal FAQs
Is clean wood cheaper to dispose of?
Noticeably. A clean timber load from Gateshead prices below a mixed one because the facility recovers nearly all of it.
Can you take treated or painted wood?
Standard painted and treated timber, yes. Creosote-treated sleepers are hazardous waste and need a specialist.
Can you handle difficult access?
Yes. Stairs, lifts, long carries, narrow lanes and permit bays are all workable at Gateshead properties — we just need to know in advance so the right crew and vehicle are sent.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Gateshead vehicle, crew and disposal route correctly, so the price we quote for your wood waste disposal is the price you pay.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Gateshead collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the wood waste disposal is accessible from outside at the Gateshead property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Gateshead?
Frequently. There is no permit to buy, no driveway lost for a week, and you only pay for the space the waste actually occupies. For small and medium wood waste disposal loads in Gateshead, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Which Gateshead postcodes do you cover for wood waste disposal?
Yes. Our wood waste disposal covers the whole of Gateshead, including the NE8 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Newcastle upon Tyne (1.9 miles), Washington (4.9 miles) and South Shields (7.5 miles) — distances are straight-line from Gateshead. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

Moving as well as clearing in Gateshead?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Gateshead, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
