Services
Waste and Recycling
Use site and waste-stream records to compare collections, investigate contamination and understand what the reporting actually measures. The category brings together individual tasks, recurring maintenance and larger changes. Each service below explains its own scope, decisions, preparation and likely cost factors.

Which service do you need?
Identify the material before choosing a container. General waste, recycling, food, electrical items and hazardous or confidential material have different handling needs. Describe the symptom or desired outcome rather than selecting a service solely by name. Photographs, plans and the history of previous work help identify the next useful step.
Repairs, maintenance and projects
An individual instruction deals with a defined task. Maintenance provides a route for recurring work and condition-led attention. Projects cover coordinated changes with a wider brief, programme and handover. A portfolio may need all three routes, with local issues separated from planned investment.
Planning the work
Confirm the waste description, accepted contents, storage and vehicle access. GOV.UK explains business waste responsibilities, including checking carriers and retaining the appropriate transfer information. Confirm site contacts, operational priorities, work references and who can approve a change to the scope. The agreed scope should identify exclusions and the information needed at completion.
Work across sectors
The work applies to premises with different patterns of occupation and access. Offices, education settings, hospitality premises and industrial sites each bring their own constraints around people, equipment and working hours. The sector directory connects the full service range to the different property settings.
Frequently asked questions
Can I enquire before choosing an individual service?
Yes. Describe the problem, affected areas and desired result. Identify the material before choosing a container. General waste, recycling, food, electrical items and hazardous or confidential material have different handling needs.
Can several tasks be included in one instruction?
Related tasks can be scoped together, with the necessary trades, sequence and responsibilities identified. Use site and asset references to keep the individual work items traceable.
What determines the cost?
The actual work, condition, access, materials, equipment and operating restrictions determine the scope. Waste type, weight, storage and collection frequency also need to be established.
What information should I send first?
Send the property address, a short description, safe photographs and any existing reports. Add access times, the person authorising the work and the outcome you need.
