How it works
How business clearance works in Monument and Eastcheap
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Monument and Eastcheap stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Site visit or a video walk-through
For anything above a part-load we survey the unit, confirm access, lift capacity and the landlord's loading window.
Step 2
Written quote and dilapidations scope
The quote separates clearance, WEEE, data destruction and any making-good so the schedule of dilapidations can be answered line by line.
Step 3
Access, insurance and RAMS
Method statement, risk assessment and insurance certificates go to the building manager before the day. Nobody is turned away at the loading bay.
Step 4
Strip out in sequence
Loose contents, then IT and data equipment, then furniture, then racking and fixtures — so the unit is never blocked by its own waste.
Step 5
Evidence pack
Transfer note, WEEE evidence, destruction certificates and before-and-after photographs issued the same day for the landlord or agent.
Why choose us
Why Monument and Eastcheap customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Monument and Eastcheap wall.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Monument (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Monument and Eastcheap walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Monument (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the reality on the streets around The Monument to the Great Fire.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for commercial waste. IT and electricals go to an approved WEEE treatment site with evidence returned, data-bearing media is wiped or shredded to certificate, and every load leaves with a transfer note issued to the company.
Fixed prices
Business clearance prices in Monument and Eastcheap
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. Volume leaving the unit, how much of it is fixed rather than loose, and the building's loading window. A ground-floor unit with its own roller shutter clears in half the time of the same volume behind a shared service lift.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single desk, chair or cabinet | £45 | 20–40 min | Priced per item because a single redundant workstation does not need a full van booked for it. |
| Quarter-load commercial part-clear | £140 | 1 hr | Charged on volume plus the commercial transfer-station gate fee, which is higher than the domestic rate. |
| Small office or shop unit, full clear | £420 | 3–5 hrs | Desks, chairs, racking and loose stock out in one visit, worked around the building's permitted loading hours. |
| Retail or salon strip-out to shell | £680 | 1 day | Fixtures, counters and shelving come out in sections, and fit-out timber and plasterboard are separate waste streams. |
| Warehouse or storage unit clear | £880 | 1–2 days | Pallet racking has to be dismantled safely before it can be loaded, which is labour rather than volume. |
| IT and WEEE collection with data destruction | £12/unit | By volume | Every drive is logged, wiped or shredded to a certificate, which is a per-unit cost regardless of the load size. |

Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.

Monument and Eastcheap EC3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Monument and Eastcheap — the numbers that actually change a business clearance quote.
Walk Monument and Eastcheap from The Monument to the Great Fire outwards and the recent new-build pattern is obvious: 98% of the 4,914 households in EC3 live in flats, 2% in houses.
48% of households rent privately and 37% own, which is why business clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Monument (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in EC3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the reality on the streets around The Monument to the Great Fire is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Monument and Eastcheap knows the pattern near The Monument to the Great Fire: riverside City streets between London Bridge and the Tower, dense with narrow lanes. We plan the EC3 visit around it. Monument and Eastcheap sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, lower Thames Street is a red route; the lanes behind take a small van only — one reason two crew and a Luton on a small office or shop unit; three to four crew with a 7.5-tonne vehicle on retail strip-outs, warehouses and racking removals. Fitters travelling in use Monument (Circle, District).
