Croydon · CR5 · Flat and apartment clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Coulsdon fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for flat and apartment clearance in Coulsdon CR5? We work in Coulsdon most weeks — downland village on the North Downs edge, with Farthing Downs above the town — and price flat and apartment clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £140, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices flat and apartment clearance for Coulsdon CR5 specifically: inter-war stock, 12% privately rented and 6,754 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Croydon permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street.
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Coulsdon South (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in CR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 22% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Coulsdon actually produces.
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 →

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 Coulsdon
In Coulsdon (CR5) the split is 22% flats to 78% houses over 6,754 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 12% private renting against 74% owner-occupied, most CR5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Coulsdon is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 22% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Coulsdon actually produces.
Downland village on the North Downs edge, with Farthing Downs above the town. That character decides the practical detail of flat and apartment clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Coulsdon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Nearest station is Coulsdon South (Southern), 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.

Studio or single room clear starts at £140 in Coulsdon on the Coulsdon rounds, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume leaving the flat, the floor it is on and the building's access rules set the price for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood. A tenth-floor flat with a booked goods lift is cheaper to clear than a third-floor walk-up holding the same contents on the streets near Farthing Downs, with 6,754 households on this patch.

That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Coulsdon rounds. With 22% of Coulsdon homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Croydon bookings — and 22% of homes here being flats, with 6,754 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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; Piano and safe removal in this 22% flats neighbourhood, with Croydon parking rules in play — and this being a short walk from Coulsdon South (Southern), which needs specialist lifting equipment; Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Coulsdon CR5 price you agree is the price you pay on Croydon bookings, with 22% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 12% of Coulsdon privately rented and 74% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Coulsdon, with 6,754 households on this patch.
Farthing Downs is the marker we route to in Coulsdon, with 26% one-person households here, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street.
