Hardcore removal Shoreham
Local hardcore removal in Shoreham-by-Sea
Rubble, concrete, bricks, soil, paving and stone collected by tipper van, without a skip on your drive.
Hardcore and rubble removal in Shoreham-by-Sea is one of our most requested heavy-waste services. Shoreham is about six miles east of our Worthing base, fifteen minutes via the A259 or the A27 Adur flyover. We collect concrete, bricks, soil and paving from gardens, driveways and building sites across Shoreham town centre, Shoreham Beach, Old Shoreham, Buckingham Park and Kingston Buci.
Our tipper vans take heavy loads within safe weight limits, and clean inert waste from Shoreham-by-Sea jobs is sent for crushing and recycling into aggregate rather than landfill.
Saw one of there trucks driving through Worthing, called the number today. Sent a picture of what we needed clear. They came back straight away with a price and were able to pick it all up on the same day. Really friendly team and great service. Will definitely be using this company again.
Hannah Fielder, Google 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 Shoreham-by-Sea: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape hardcore removal jobs in Shoreham-by-Sea.
Shoreham gardens
Gardens on Buckingham Park and the slopes towards Mill Hill are often terraced or sloping, which makes garden clearances harder work than they look. Shoreham Beach gardens are sandy and shingly, and wind-damaged fences and sheds are a common reason people call us.
Parking and access
The town centre has narrow streets, a one-way system and limited parking close to the older cottages. Shoreham Beach is reached over the footbridge or by road via the western end, and some beach roads are private or unmade. We check access at the quoting stage so the right size of van turns up.
Homes in Shoreham
Shoreham's housing ranges from flint and brick cottages in Old Shoreham and around the high street to 1930s semis in Southlands and Buckingham Park, larger homes on the hillside towards Mill Hill and a lot of newer apartments along the riverside. Shoreham Beach has its own mix of modern detached homes, older chalets and bungalows built on the shingle spit.

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.

Where your Shoreham 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.
Shoreham residents are served by Adur & Worthing Councils for waste collections and bulky items, with county-run recycling centres for self-delivery. If you have too much for a car boot, or you would rather not spend a weekend doing tip runs, we can clear it all in one visit.
