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.

Hardcore removal Chichester
Local hardcore removal in Chichester
Rubble, concrete, bricks, soil, paving and stone collected by tipper van, without a skip on your drive.
Hardcore and rubble removal in Chichester is one of our most requested heavy-waste services. 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 concrete, bricks, soil and paving from gardens, driveways and building sites across Chichester city centre, Summersdale, Parklands, Whyke and Donnington.
Our tipper vans take heavy loads within safe weight limits, and clean inert waste from Chichester jobs is sent for crushing and recycling into aggregate rather than landfill.
Super helpful! I sent a message on WhatsApp on the weekend and got a reply the same day with a price. They came and collected 2 days later and all was left clean and tidy. Really efficient. Would highly recommend.
A Star customer, Customer review
Our tipper vans are designed for exactly this kind of load. We shovel, barrow and bag the hardcore ourselves, load it safely within the van's weight limits, and tip it at facilities where inert waste is crushed and recycled into aggregate for reuse.

Local knowledge
Hardcore removal in Chichester: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape hardcore removal jobs in Chichester.
Chichester gardens
Chichester's suburban gardens are generous, and the older homes in Summersdale and around the city often have mature trees, tall hedges and several outbuildings. Harbour-side and coastal gardens suffer from salt wind and damp. We clear green waste, old sheds, greenhouses and garden furniture across the district.
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.
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.

The detail
Why weight matters more than volume
A van can only carry a certain weight legally, and hardcore hits that limit quickly. A bulk bag of broken concrete can weigh close to a tonne, and a pile of soil that looks small can take several trips. That is why hardcore is priced differently from general rubbish, and why it helps to tell us what the material is and roughly how much there is.
Clear photos with something for scale, such as a door, a wheelbarrow or a bulk bag, let us give you an accurate price and bring enough vans.
Clean inert waste is recycled
Clean hardcore, meaning concrete, brick, stone and rubble without timber, plastic or plasterboard mixed in, can be crushed and screened into recycled aggregate. That is why keeping hardcore separate from other waste matters: it keeps disposal costs down and makes recycling possible.
Soil is handled in the same way if it is clean. Soil mixed with rubble, roots or rubbish is still accepted, but may cost more to dispose of.
How hardcore removal 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 hardcore removal 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

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 hardcore removal in Chichester
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Weight
The main factor for hardcore.
Material
Clean inert waste is cheaper to dispose of than mixed.
Loading effort
Loose rubble needs shovelling; bagged waste is quicker.
Access
Barrowing from the back garden takes longer.
Number of trips
Large quantities may need more than one van load.
How to prepare
- Keep hardcore separate from wood, plastic and plasterboard.
- Pile it as close to the road or drive as possible.
- Send photos with something for scale so we can estimate weight.
- Tell us the material: concrete, brick, soil, tiles or a mix.
- Let us know if it needs barrowing from the back garden.
- Clear a space on the drive for the van if you can.
Responsible disposal
Where your Chichester waste goes
Clean hardcore is taken to facilities where it is crushed and screened into recycled aggregate. Soil is recovered where possible. Mixed loads are sorted at licensed transfer stations.
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.

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 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.
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.
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
Hardcore removal in Chichester: FAQs
Can't see your question? Call 01903 962 492 or message us on WhatsApp.
Can you remove soil from a garden project in Chichester?
Yes. We collect loose and bagged soil from gardens across Chichester, often alongside turf and paving.
How quickly can you collect hardcore in Chichester?
Often within a few days, and sometimes the next day. 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.
Do you need a skip permit for hardcore in Chichester?
No. We load hardcore straight into our tipper van, so nothing sits on the road and no permit from West Sussex County Council is needed.
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.
What counts as hardcore?
Concrete, bricks, blocks, rubble, stone, paving, tiles and similar inert materials. Soil is often collected alongside it.
How much hardcore fits in your van?
It depends on weight rather than space. Send us photos and we will tell you how many loads it is likely to be.
Do you take soil?
Yes, loose or bagged.
