Overview
Flat and apartment clearance in Colindale NW9, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Colindale, flat and apartment clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 80% of Colindale's 7,659 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How flat and apartment clearance works in Colindale
Five steps, the same on every NW9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photos or a video walk-through
A short video of each room and a note of the floor is enough for a fixed price on most London flats.
Step 2
Clear the building access
We contact the block manager or concierge about the lift, the loading bay and the permitted hours before the day.
Step 3
Protect the route
Hall, lift lobby and communal stairs sheeted, because damage to a shared area is the one thing a block will charge back.
Step 4
Sort, dismantle, load
Room by room: keep pile set aside, reusable items separated, the rest dismantled and barrowed out.
Step 5
Reuse, recycle, receipt
Usable contents to a reuse partner, the balance split by stream, transfer note handed to you on site.
Why choose us
Why Colindale customers book us
What follows is specific to Colindale: its walls, its access and the paperwork Barnet agents ask for.
Colindale walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in NW9, often with surface conduit, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Colindale actually produces in NW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Colindale gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules. Upholstered items go into the POPs stream, mattresses to a licensed shredding facility and WEEE to an approved treatment site, with a transfer note issued in your name for every load.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton for a studio or one-bed; three crew and a second van on two- and three-bedroom apartments or any duplex. Every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated.
Fixed prices
Flat and apartment clearance prices in Colindale
Fixed prices for NW9 and the rest of Barnet. Volume leaving the flat, the floor it is on and the building's access rules set the price. A tenth-floor flat with a booked goods lift is cheaper to clear than a third-floor walk-up holding the same contents.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or single room clear | £140 | 1–2 hrs | Priced on the volume that leaves the door rather than the hours on site, so a tight studio is never charged as a full flat. |
| One-bedroom flat, part clear | £220 | 2–3 hrs | Furniture and loose contents from one or two rooms, dismantled where a shared stairwell will not take them whole. |
| One-bedroom flat, full clear | £320 | 3–4 hrs | Everything out including kitchen contents, with the lift or loading bay booked with the block manager first. |
| Two-bedroom flat, full clear | £450 | 4–6 hrs | Two bedrooms plus reception and kitchen: usually a full Luton load and a second run to the transfer station. |
| Three-bedroom apartment or maisonette | £620 | 1 day | Split-level and duplex layouts add a second carry stage, and the load routinely fills more than one van. |
| End-of-tenancy strip-out to bare shell | £380 | 3–5 hrs | Landlord and agent work to a check-out deadline, with photographs and the transfer note issued the same day. |

Scope
What's included in Colindale
The same scope across NW9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Barnet bookings: two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included, arranged with London Borough of Barnet where the kerb needs it
- Dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them — including flat and apartment clearance
- In Colindale: lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you, the way it is done on Colindale jobs
- On NW9 jobs: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, with 80% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Barnet bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request, with 7,659 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back, checked on every NW9 visit
Not included
- Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, handled by London Borough of Barnet or a specialist contractor instead
- Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out, which we refer on to the right trade in Colindale
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, outside the fixed price on Colindale bookings
- Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, and we will say so before the NW9 visit rather than on the day
