Who We Are
A Legacy Built on
Responsible Waste Management.
With over 60 years in demolition and waste management, Oakwood's newest division tackles one of the UK's most overlooked waste streams — carpet and underlay. Zero landfill. Every single load.
Our Heritage
60 Years of Experience Behind Every Decision.
Oakwood began its journey as Oakwood Demolition in 1964, building a reputation across London for reliability, integrity, and responsible waste management. Over the decades, we have grown, diversified, and continuously invested in the people and infrastructure that keep us at the forefront of the industry.
Today, Oakwood Carpet Recycling represents our most forward-thinking venture — a dedicated division committed to diverting carpet waste from landfill and contributing to a genuine circular economy for flooring materials in the UK.
We specialise in the collection, sorting, and processing of post-consumer and post-commercial carpet waste, providing a fully traceable, zero-landfill solution to businesses and households across London.

Our Mission
Redefining What Happens to Carpet Waste.
Millions of tonnes of carpet reach the end of their life every year in Britain. The vast majority ends up in landfill — not because there's no alternative, but because the infrastructure and partnerships to do better haven't been in place. We're changing that.
Our mission is to provide a sustainable, fully compliant solution for every type of carpet waste — from household uplifts to large commercial refits — ensuring every material type follows the right downstream route for maximum recovery.
Oakwood Carpet Recycling is built on the same values that have guided our business for over six decades: do the job properly, treat partners with respect, and never compromise on quality or compliance.
From our legacy in demolition to our future in recycling, we remain dedicated to building a cleaner, more responsible world — one carpet at a time.
Why Choose Oakwood
