Where to find us


se16 WEEE collection service in rotherhitheAbout Rotherhithe

Rotherhithe can be found in the South East of London and is mainly a residential area. Set in the London Borough of Southwark, it is actually on a peninsula on the South Bank of the River Thames and helps to make up the Docklands. It is in the postcode district SE16 and is surrounded by places such as Southwark, Isle of Dogs, Stratford and West Norwood. The postcodes surrounding the area include SE1, E14, E15 and SE27. Due to its positioning, it is not surprising that Rotherhithe has a history as a port and dock, although these are less used nowadays. The docks have been redeveloped recently to add additional upmarket housing to the area in order more people to be able to live in the area. Not only the docks have been regenerated, however, as new restaurants and shopping areas are springing up all over Rotherhithe, helping to make it a vibrant area. Because of its history, Rotherhithe has plenty of attractions to visit including the Brunel Engine House, Finnish Church, Cuckold’s Point and Nelson Dock Pier. These help to set Rotherhithe apart.

Highly efficient and prompt service, with ongoing updates at each stage.

Jaw-droppingly good service--emptied my apartment on a Sunday for a budget-friendly price.

The entire process with House Clearance exceeded my expectations. Their team was courteous on the phone and in person. Will definitely return as a customer.

The company made booking easy, gave a clear quote, and the team who came were friendly and careful.

Super quick, safe, and helpful staff. I've used this service a couple of times and the process is always smooth and professional. No last-minute costs, friendly workers, and my old items gone fast. Glad to have found them.

The team was on time, showed good manners, and worked fast. The charges were just as estimated, which I appreciated. Their help made a difficult job simple.

An exceptional experience. The staff managed everything promptly and smoothly. Great price and very professional.
