City of London · EC3 · Flat and apartment clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Bank and Cornhill fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide flat and apartment clearance in Bank and Cornhill EC3 for houses and flats around The Royal Exchange. From £140, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Flat and apartment clearance in Bank and Cornhill EC3 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in City of London, most of them period conversion. 4,914 households sit inside this EC3 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Exchange rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
A short video of each room and a note of the floor is enough for a fixed price on most London flats.
Step 2
We contact the block manager or concierge about the lift, the loading bay and the permitted hours before the day.
Step 3
Hall, lift lobby and communal stairs sheeted, because damage to a shared area is the one thing a block will charge back.
Step 4
Room by room: keep pile set aside, reusable items separated, the rest dismantled and barrowed out.
Step 5
Usable contents to a reuse partner, the balance split by stream, transfer note handed to you on site.
Why choose us
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC3, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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, as the Bank and Cornhill stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.
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. Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only.
Fixed prices
| 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
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Bank and Cornhill
In Bank and Cornhill (EC3) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,914 households, and the stock is period conversion.
The renter-heavy mix here (37% owned, 48% privately rented) means a EC3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Bank and Cornhill substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in EC3, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Bank and Cornhill stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a EC3 customer twice.
Bank and Cornhill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the historic financial heart — Royal Exchange, Mansion House and the alleyways behind Leadenhall — which is why a EC3 quote is not a City of London average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR) is the nearest station, 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.
