Overview
This page prices flat and apartment clearance for Woolwich SE18 specifically: post-war stock, 25% privately rented and 13,241 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich 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. Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers.
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map in SE18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry.
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 →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
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 Woolwich
In Woolwich (SE18) the split is 63% flats to 37% houses over 13,241 households, and the stock is post-war.
The social-housing-led mix here (28% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SE18 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE18. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry is the fault we are called back to undo.
The Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river. That character decides the practical detail of flat and apartment clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Woolwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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.

Studio or single room clear starts at £140 in Woolwich on the Woolwich rounds, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, 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 on SE18 jobs, with 13,241 households on this patch.

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SE18 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Woolwich most weeks on the Woolwich rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Woolwich rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Woolwich. With 63% of Woolwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Greenwich bookings, with 13,241 households on this patch — and 25% of SE18 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers in Woolwich.

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 for Woolwich (SE18) addresses — and 25% of SE18 homes being privately rented, with 47% social-rented stock nearby, with a transfer note issued in your name for every load.

Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, with 25% of SE18 homes being privately rented — and 31% one-person households here, which need a licensed specialist; Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out; Piano and safe removal on Greenwich bookings, 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 Woolwich SE18 price you agree is the price you pay on the Woolwich rounds, with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR).
