Croydon · CR7 · Flat and apartment clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Thornton Heath fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking flat and apartment clearance near Selhurst Park? Match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £140 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Thornton Heath, flat and apartment clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 38% of Thornton Heath's 12,862 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR7 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Thornton Heath (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in CR7, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in CR7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Thornton Heath stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets.
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.

Working in Thornton Heath
Thornton Heath CR7 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 38% of homes here are flats and 62% are houses, across 12,862 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 31% private renting against 54% owner-occupied, most CR7 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick in CR7, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Thornton Heath is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Thornton Heath stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Thornton Heath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — a busy high street, the pond junction and Selhurst Park's match-day crowds — which is why a CR7 quote is not a Croydon average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets. Thornton Heath (Southern) 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.
