Flat and apartment clearance prices in Hackney

What a flat clearance costs in Hackney. 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. The borough-specific additions here come from ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access.
Flat and apartment clearance price guide for Hackney
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or single room clear£1401–2 hrsPriced 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£2202–3 hrsFurniture and loose contents from one or two rooms, dismantled where a shared stairwell will not take them whole.
One-bedroom flat, full clear£3203–4 hrsEverything out including kitchen contents, with the lift or loading bay booked with the block manager first.
Two-bedroom flat, full clear£4504–6 hrsTwo bedrooms plus reception and kitchen: usually a full Luton load and a second run to the transfer station.
Three-bedroom apartment or maisonette£6201 daySplit-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£3803–5 hrsLandlord and agent work to a check-out deadline, with photographs and the transfer note issued the same day.

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, agent, block manager and probate invoices are plus VAT. Dismantling, the carry down stairs or through a lift lobby, and the waste transfer note are all included. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote.

Working in Hackney

Why Hackney is not a generic London job

Hackney Empire and the Lee Valley marshes is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Hackney.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Hackney is warehouse lofts, london fields victorian terraces, big la estates and olympic-era new-build, and the mix changes street by street — Clapton (E5), Dalston (E8) and De Beauvoir Town (N1) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day cpzs and narrow one-way terraces. Locally that means narrow terraced streets, permit bays and marsh-side roads that flood after heavy rain and kingsland road red route, market-day congestion and narrow permit-only side streets. Hackney sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Hackney rules

London Borough of Hackney runs bulky-waste collections and reuse and recycling centres, and they are a genuine option in Hackney for one or two items. Where they stop being useful is size limits, same-week deadlines and anything lifted out of a communal area — those are the loads we take, under our waste carrier licence and with a transfer note issued on the day.

How the borough got this way

Why it looks like this: a market-garden parish absorbed by victorian terraces, bombed heavily, rebuilt with estates, then reshaped by the creative industries.

Scope

What's included in Hackney

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Clapton or Victoria Park.

Included in the price

  • Two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included
  • Dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them
  • Lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you
  • Reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped
  • Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request
  • Communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back

Not included

  • 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, which needs specialist lifting equipment
  • Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste

Method

How a Hackney booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Hackney job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Sort, dismantle, load

    Room by room: keep pile set aside, reusable items separated, the rest dismantled and barrowed out.

  5. Step 5

    Reuse, recycle, receipt

    Usable contents to a reuse partner, the balance split by stream, transfer note handed to you on site.

Local questions

Flat and apartment clearance in Hackney — your questions

  • How much does a flat clearance cost in Hackney?

    Studio or single room clear starts at £140 in Hackney, and the ladder runs up to £380 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Hackney postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: E1, E2, E3, E5, E8, E9, EC2, N1, N16 and N4. On the ground that includes Clapton, Dalston, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney Central, Hackney Wick and Haggerston.

  • How quickly can you get to Hackney?

    Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Hackney?

    Extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day CPZs and narrow one-way terraces. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Hackney and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Hackney flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Warehouse lofts, London Fields Victorian terraces, big LA estates and Olympic-era new-build is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Hackney?

    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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Hackney tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Hackney postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 and Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment. If something on that list turns up in Hackney, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
