This page prices flat and apartment clearance for Petts Wood BR5 specifically: inter-war stock, 8% privately rented and 2,972 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.

How it works

How flat and apartment clearance works in Petts Wood

Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — measured on the walk in from Petts Wood (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Sort, dismantle, load

    Room by room: keep pile set aside, reusable items separated, the rest dismantled and barrowed out.

  5. 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 Petts Wood customers book us

Four things decide whether a BR5 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.

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. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.

Booked around your day

Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Petts Wood walls, not generic walls

We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood.

Fixed prices

Flat and apartment clearance prices in Petts Wood

Fixed prices for BR5 and the rest of Bromley. 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.
Flat and apartment clearance price guide for Petts Wood BR5
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or single room clear£1401–2 hrsPriced 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£2202–3 hrsFurniture and loose contents from one or two rooms, dismantled where a shared stairwell will not take them whole.
One-bedroom flat, full clear£3203–4 hrsEverything out including kitchen contents, with the lift or loading bay booked with the block manager first.
Two-bedroom flat, full clear£4504–6 hrsTwo bedrooms plus reception and kitchen: usually a full Luton load and a second run to the transfer station.
Three-bedroom apartment or maisonette£6201 daySplit-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£3803–5 hrsLandlord and agent work to a check-out deadline, with photographs and the transfer note issued the same day.

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, agent, block manager and probate invoices are plus VAT. Dismantling, the carry down stairs or through a lift lobby, and the waste transfer note are all included. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote.

Scope

What's included in Petts Wood

The same scope across BR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Standard on Bromley bookings: two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included, allowing for the 8% of BR5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • Dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them, noted on the Petts Wood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • In Petts Wood: lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you, timed against the walk in from Petts Wood (Southeastern)
  • On BR5 jobs: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, agreed on the doorstep in Petts Wood before anything is unpacked
  • Standard on Bromley bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request, arranged with London Borough of Bromley where the kerb needs it
  • Communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back — including local flat and apartment clearance

Not included

  • Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR5
  • Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out, outside the fixed price on Petts Wood bookings
  • Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
  • Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, which we refer on to the right trade in Petts Wood

Petts Wood substrates run to cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood is the mistake that costs a BR5 customer twice.

A planned 1930s commuter suburb with a conservation-area shopping parade. That character decides the practical detail of flat and apartment clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Petts Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. Nearest station is Petts Wood (Southeastern), and 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.
