London flat clearance · South London
We work in Croydon every week — a town in its own right — office towers and trams in the centre, purley and coulsdon's downland suburbs to the south. Flat and apartment clearance is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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. |

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.
Working in Croydon
What our crews walk into in Croydon is 1930s semis, victorian terraces in thornton heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre, and the mix changes street by street — Addiscombe (CR0), Coulsdon (CR5) and Croydon (CR0) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Locally that means tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Croydon sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Fly-tipping enforcement in Croydon lands on the householder, not the carrier, when waste is passed to someone unlicensed. London Borough of Croydon can and does trace bags back. Every load we take leaves with a waste transfer note in your name and our carrier registration number on it.
Why it looks like this: an archbishop's manor and market town that became a 1960s office boom city with the croydon corporation act towers.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Green waste, decking, sheds and hard landscaping taken away and split for composting.
Desks, chairs, racking and IT stripped out of a let unit with WEEE evidence.
Single items, builders' waste and part-loads across the borough.
The property cleaned before your things arrive, not around them.
Local moving crews working from the same borough, not across the city.
Studio or single room clear starts at £140 in Croydon, and the ladder runs up to £380 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25 and SW16. On the ground that includes Addiscombe, Coulsdon, Croydon, Crystal Palace, Kenley and Purley.
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep Purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Croydon and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. 1930s semis, Victorian terraces in Thornton Heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Croydon tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Croydon postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out and Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment. If something on that list turns up in Croydon, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
