Overview
This page prices flat and apartment clearance for South Norwood SE25 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 29% privately rented and 10,714 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. Narrow terraced streets, match-day restrictions and permit bays near the station.
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Norwood Junction (Southern, Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE25 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SE25, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE25, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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.

Working in South Norwood
South Norwood SE25 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 52% of homes here are flats and 48% are houses, across 10,714 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 29% of South Norwood is privately rented and 24% socially rented, a lot of SE25 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
South Norwood substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SE25, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE25 customer twice.
The clock tower, the country park and Conan Doyle's old neighbourhood. That character decides the practical detail of flat and apartment clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. South Norwood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, narrow terraced streets, match-day restrictions and permit bays near the station — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Norwood Junction (Southern, Overground).
