Overview
Flat and apartment clearance in Blackheath SE3, explained
Flat and apartment clearance in Blackheath SE3 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Greenwich, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 2,884 households sit inside this SE3 patch, 64% of them flats, so we quote on access near Blackheath and the Paragon rather than a London average.
How it works
How flat and apartment clearance works in Blackheath
Five steps, the same on every SE3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Blackheath stock goes, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photos or a video walk-through
A short video of each room and a note of the floor is enough for a fixed price on most London flats.
Step 2
Clear the building access
We contact the block manager or concierge about the lift, the loading bay and the permitted hours before the day.
Step 3
Protect the route
Hall, lift lobby and communal stairs sheeted, because damage to a shared area is the one thing a block will charge back.
Step 4
Sort, dismantle, load
Room by room: keep pile set aside, reusable items separated, the rest dismantled and barrowed out.
Step 5
Reuse, recycle, receipt
Usable contents to a reuse partner, the balance split by stream, transfer note handed to you on site.
Why choose us
Why Blackheath customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Blackheath wall.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Blackheath (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Blackheath walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Blackheath, with solid brick on the party and external walls — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE3, 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 — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Flat and apartment clearance prices in Blackheath
Fixed prices for SE3 and the rest of Greenwich. 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.
| 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
What's included in Blackheath
The same scope across SE3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE3 jobs: two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included, flat and apartment clearance prices included
- In Blackheath: dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them, sized for the conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases
- Lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you, checked on every SE3 visit
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, with 2,884 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SE3 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request, agreed on the doorstep in Blackheath before anything is unpacked
- In Blackheath: communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back, timed against the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern)
Not included
- Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, which we refer on to the right trade in Blackheath
- Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, and we will say so before the SE3 visit rather than on the day
- Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, outside the fixed price on Blackheath bookings

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Blackheath — the numbers that actually change a flat and apartment clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts Blackheath at 2,884 households with a median age of 39.6. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 36% houses and 64% flats need different handling in SE3.
Private renting sits at 32% and owner-occupation at 51%; the first group books flat and apartment clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Blackheath, with solid brick on the party and external walls — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Blackheath is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Blackheath knows the pattern near Blackheath and the Paragon: the heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass. We plan the SE3 visit around it. Blackheath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases — 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 Blackheath (Southeastern).

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE3, with 2,884 households on this patch.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Blackheath doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across SE3. With 64% of Blackheath homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Greenwich — and 64% of homes here being flats, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
