Building and renovation
Renovation of period homes in the city and extension work in the suburbs mean a steady flow of builders waste, plasterboard and rubble. A van collection avoids the need for a skip permit on narrow city streets.

Builders waste clearance Chichester
Local builders waste clearance in Chichester
We collect rubble, plasterboard, timber and old fittings from renovations and building sites, loading it ourselves so the trades can keep working.
Builders waste clearance in Chichester is quick and straightforward with A Star. Chichester is about twenty miles west of our Worthing base along the A27, around forty minutes by road, so we book Chichester work in planned slots. We collect rubble, plasterboard, timber and old fittings from renovation projects and building sites across Chichester city centre, Summersdale, Parklands, Whyke and Donnington.
Whether you are a homeowner finishing a bathroom refit or a builder working on an extension in Chichester, we load the waste ourselves and take it away the same day, with no skip permit needed from West Sussex County Council.
We used this company for the first time today, very responsive to messages and hard working guys. Cleared all rubbish we requested to be removed and we highly recommend them to anyone wanting a fast service, very reasonable price which saved us paying more for a skip! Will definitely be using them again.

Local knowledge
Builders waste clearance in Chichester: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape builders waste clearance jobs in Chichester.
Homes in Chichester
Inside the city walls, Chichester has Georgian and older townhouses, many listed, with narrow staircases, cellars and small courtyards. Summersdale, Parklands, Whyke and Donnington are mostly inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses, while Graylingwell and the newer developments on the edge of the city are modern family homes and apartments. Selsey and the Witterings have a lot of bungalows, holiday homes and chalets.
Parking and access
The city centre inside the walls has narrow streets, limited parking and pedestrianised areas around the Market Cross, and residents' permit zones cover many nearby roads. We plan access before the day and choose a legal loading point as close to your door as possible.
Local businesses
The city's shops, offices and hospitality businesses, and the industrial estates on the edge of the city, generate commercial clearances ranging from shop refits and office moves to warehouse clear-outs. We provide the waste transfer paperwork businesses need.

Specialist services
Specialist builders waste services in Chichester
As part of our builders waste service in Chichester, we also provide:
Residential builders waste
Home renovations create waste at every stage: stripped-out kitchens and bathrooms, knocked-through walls, old floorboards, plasterboard, tiles and packaging. We collect it from your home so that your project can keep moving.
Commercial builders waste
On commercial sites, waste that is not removed quickly becomes a safety hazard and a cost. We provide one-off and regular collections for builders, developers, fit-out contractors and facilities managers, loading waste ourselves and keeping your site clear.
Plasterboard removal
Plasterboard is one of the most common renovation wastes, and one of the most awkward. Because gypsum can produce hydrogen sulphide gas when it breaks down with biodegradable waste, it must not be landfilled with general waste. Many skip companies charge extra for it or refuse mixed loads.
The detail
Plasterboard must be kept separate
Plasterboard and other gypsum-based waste must not be mixed with general waste going to landfill, because when gypsum breaks down with biodegradable waste it can produce hydrogen sulphide gas. That is why many skip firms charge extra or refuse mixed loads containing plasterboard.
We handle it properly. If you can keep plasterboard offcuts in a separate pile or bag, it makes the job quicker and cheaper, but we can separate it on site if needed. It is then taken for gypsum recycling.
Heavy waste and weight limits
Rubble, bricks, concrete, soil and tiles are heavy. A van reaches its legal weight limit long before it is full by volume, so heavy waste is priced differently from lighter mixed waste. If your job is mostly rubble, soil or hardcore, see our hardcore collection service.
Tell us roughly what the waste is made of when you send photos, and we will bring the right vehicle and give you an accurate price.
How builders waste clearance in Chichester works
Chichester is about twenty miles west of our Worthing base along the A27, around forty minutes by road, so we book Chichester work in planned slots. Here is how a typical builders waste clearance job in Chichester works:
1
Send us photos
WhatsApp a few pictures of the waste and the route to the road, or call 01903 962 492. Tell us your postcode and when suits you.
2
Get a clear price
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
3
We load and sweep
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
4
Responsible disposal
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
What affects the price of builders waste clearance in Chichester
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Weight
Rubble, concrete and soil are priced by weight as much as by volume.
Volume
Lighter mixed waste is priced by how much van space it uses.
Plasterboard
Separated gypsum waste has its own disposal cost.
Loading
Waste that is bagged and stacked is quicker to load.
Frequency
Regular collections for trades can be priced as a package.
How to prepare
- Stack waste in one area with clear access to the road or drive.
- Keep plasterboard separate from other waste if you can.
- Bag small rubble and tile waste to make loading quicker.
- Tell us roughly how much is rubble, soil or concrete, as it affects the price.
- Let us know about scaffolding, restricted parking or site rules.
- Flag anything you think might contain asbestos before we arrive.
Responsible disposal
Where your Chichester waste goes
Builders waste is separated into inert waste (rubble, brick, concrete and soil), gypsum (plasterboard), timber, metal and general waste, then taken to the appropriate licensed facilities. Inert waste is often crushed and reused as aggregate, timber is recycled where possible, and metal is recycled.
Chichester District Council handles household bins, a chargeable bulky waste service and a garden waste subscription, and the county council runs the household waste recycling sites. For larger clearances, a single booked visit from us is often more practical than several trips.

Before and after

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterQuoted a good price for some hardcore removal after breaking up a pathway. A Star came and removed the waste the next day. The lads were polite and got the job done quickly. Highly recommend.
A Star Waste Management did a great job clearing a big pile of old decking from my garden. They were efficient, reasonably priced and the men were polite and respectful, and were mindful not to damage any of my plants. Would definitely use their service again.
A Star are absolutely brilliant. Turn up when they say they will, are professional, friendly and helpful. And stick to their very reasonable quotes and would certainly use them in the future. Thank you A Star.
Swift and efficient waste removal. Quick response from the team. Quoted the job from the photos I sent. They kept in communication with us, so we weren't hanging around. The guys worked quickly to clear the area, they were very professional. I highly recommend their service.
Really good service. Competitive price and left the site clear. I liked the good communication e.g. pictures of the finished job as I couldn't be at home as I was working. Great job and I would use them again.
Questions
Builders waste clearance in Chichester: FAQs
Can't see your question? Call 01903 962 492 or message us on WhatsApp.
Do I need a skip permit in Chichester?
A skip placed on the road in Chichester needs a permit from West Sussex County Council. A van collection avoids that altogether, because nothing is left on the highway.
Can you collect builders waste from a Chichester site every week?
Yes. We offer regular collections for builders and trades working in Chichester, so waste never builds up.
Do you take plasterboard from Chichester renovations?
Yes. Keep it separate from other waste if you can, and we will take it for gypsum recycling.
Do you really cover Chichester from Worthing?
Yes. Chichester is about forty minutes from our base along the A27. We schedule Chichester work into planned days, so you get a booked slot.
Is there a travel charge for Chichester?
Our quotes are all-inclusive. Because Chichester is further from our base, very small single-item jobs may not be the most economical option compared with the council's bulky waste service, and we will be upfront about that.
Do you take plasterboard?
Yes, but it must be kept separate from other waste. Bagging it separately makes the job quicker.
Is it cheaper than a skip?
For many jobs, yes. There is no permit fee, no waiting time, and you do not have to load it yourself.
Can you collect during the job, not just at the end?
Yes. Many builders book regular collections so the site stays clear.
