Four Trade Waste Jobs Around Gravesend — A Kitchen, a Bath, Plaster and Carpet (September 2026)
A lot of September was trade waste — the stuff that comes out of a house when there's work going on inside. A whole kitchen on a front lawn, an old bath used as a skip, plaster bags on a pallet, a carpet fitter's underlay. Four off the sheet, before and after.
SITE NOTES
A lot of my work in September was trade waste — the stuff that comes out of a house when there's work going on inside. Kitchens, bathrooms, plaster, carpet. Builders and fitters ring me because I turn up when I say I will and the pile's gone before the next trade arrives. Homeowners in the middle of works ring for the same reason. Four from the sheet, before and after.
LOAD01/ 04
GRAVESEND AREA · KITCHEN RIP-OUT
Kitchen rip-out on the front lawn
The whole old kitchen came out onto the lawn — the built-in oven, the unit carcasses and doors, the sink still in its bit of worktop, two rolls of old carpet, a section of stair spindles, a futon frame and the bin bags to go with it. One load. Lawn clear, bin back where it lives, front of the house looking like a house again.

GRAVESEND AREA · BATHROOM RIP-OUT
An old bath full of plaster
Bathroom rip-out. The old bath had been used as the skip — plaster, cardboard, offcuts of pipe, tile board, empty cans — with more stacked round it on the front step and a pallet leaning on the railings. Bath and all went on the van. The white dust on the wall is the only thing that was left, and that washes off.

GRAVESEND AREA · PLASTER & RUBBLE BAGS
Plaster bags on a pallet
The leftovers from plastering work, stacked on a driveway — bags of old plaster and rubble on a pallet, a trug that had set solid, a box of bits and a rolled-up sheet. Heavy bags, so they go on two at a time. The pallet went too. Block paving swept and the drive's a drive again.

GRAVESEND AREA · CARPET & UNDERLAY
Carpet fitter's underlay
New carpets in, old underlay out — bales of it in plastic, the carpet offcuts and the cardboard tubes, stacked down the side of a new extension. Took the lot and left the gravel clean. The corner of my van in the shot is the only thing I added.
