Overview
Flat and apartment clearance in Hoxton N1, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Hoxton, flat and apartment clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 96% of Hoxton's 7,353 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How flat and apartment clearance works in Hoxton
Five steps, the same on every N1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 7,353 households inside the N1 neighbourhood 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 Hoxton customers book us
What follows is specific to Hoxton: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hackney agents ask for.
Hoxton walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 45% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Hoxton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.
Crew sized to the job
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. Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns.
Fixed prices
Flat and apartment clearance prices in Hoxton
Fixed prices for N1 and the rest of 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.
| 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 Hoxton
The same scope across N1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hackney bookings: two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included, arranged with London Borough of Hackney where the kerb needs it
- Dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them — including flat and apartment clearance
- In Hoxton: lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you, the way it is done on Hoxton jobs
- On N1 jobs: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, with 96% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Hackney bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request, allowing for the 33% of N1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back, noted on the Hoxton job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, and we will say so before the N1 visit rather than on the day
- Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out, handled by London Borough of Hackney or a specialist contractor instead
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, quoted separately if you need it arranged in N1
- Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, outside the fixed price on Hoxton bookings

Hoxton N1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hoxton — the numbers that actually change a flat and apartment clearance quote.
Hoxton N1 is Georgian and early Victorian and social-housing-led: 96% of homes here are flats and 3% are houses, across 7,353 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (22% owned, 33% privately rented) means a N1 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, with 45% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in N1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Hoxton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Hoxton 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 — hoxton Square, Geffrye Museum gardens and a mix of estates and converted workshops — which is why a N1 quote is not a Hackney average.
On access, low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns — 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 Hoxton (Overground).

How long does flat-pack assembly take in Hoxton?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Hackney, with this being a short walk from Hoxton (Overground).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Hoxton doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on N1 jobs. With 96% of Hoxton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Hoxton rounds — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 33% of N1 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Hoxton?

That paperwork is what most Hackney letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in this 96% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory.
What is not included in flat and apartment clearance in Hoxton?
Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory, which need a licensed specialist; Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out; Piano and safe removal around Hoxton (Overground), 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 Hoxton N1 price you agree is the price you pay across N1, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
