How it works

How flat and apartment clearance works in Shoreditch

Five steps, the same on every E1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is what we plan for here.
  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.

Why choose us

Why Shoreditch customers book us

What follows is specific to Shoreditch: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hackney agents ask for.

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. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Shoreditch walls, not generic walls

We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Shoreditch, often with surface conduit, and with 41% one-person households in Shoreditch, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Shoreditch gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.

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. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts.

Fixed prices

Flat and apartment clearance prices in Shoreditch

Fixed prices for E1 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.
Flat and apartment clearance price guide for Shoreditch E1
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.

Scope

What's included in Shoreditch

The same scope across E1, 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, allowing for the 37% of E1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • Dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them, noted on the Shoreditch job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • In Shoreditch: lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you, timed against the walk in from Shoreditch High Street (Overground)
  • On E1 jobs: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, agreed on the doorstep in Shoreditch before anything is unpacked
  • Standard on Hackney bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request, with 3,361 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
  • Communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back, checked on every E1 visit

Not included

  • Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, and we will say so before the E1 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 E1
  • Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, outside the fixed price on Shoreditch bookings

Working in Shoreditch

Shoreditch E1 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shoreditch — the numbers that actually change a flat and apartment clearance quote.

In Shoreditch (E1) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 3,361 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.

Because 37% of Shoreditch is privately rented and 43% socially rented, a lot of E1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.

Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Shoreditch, often with surface conduit, and with 41% one-person households in Shoreditch, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in E1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Shoreditch gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.

Shoreditch 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 — warehouse offices, rooftop bars and Boxpark on the City fringe — which is why a E1 quote is not a Hackney average.

Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. Nearest station is Shoreditch High Street (Overground), 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.

Common questions

Flat and apartment clearance in Shoreditch E1 — your questions.

  • How much does flat and apartment clearance cost in Shoreditch E1?

    Studio or single room clear starts at £140 in Shoreditch on Hackney bookings, with 20% owner-occupation locally, 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 the Shoreditch rounds, with 3,361 households on this patch. A tenth-floor flat with a booked goods lift is cheaper to clear than a third-floor walk-up holding the same contents on E1 jobs, with 41% one-person households here.

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Shoreditch E1?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Shoreditch, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Shoreditch most weeks around Shoreditch High Street (Overground), with this being London Borough of Hackney territory.

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in Shoreditch?

    5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Shoreditch High Street (Overground), with 2% of Shoreditch homes being houses.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Shoreditch doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Hackney bookings. With 98% of Shoreditch homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street — and 43% social-rented stock nearby, with 2% of Shoreditch homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • How quickly can you reach Shoreditch from your Hackney round?

    Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street is the marker we route to on E1 jobs, with this being a short walk from Shoreditch High Street (Overground), and night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. A E1 slot added to an existing Hackney round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street, with 20% owner-occupation locally.

  • Is same-day or evening flat and apartment clearance available in Hackney?

    Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed in Shoreditch, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory. Shoreditch sits close to Shoreditch High Street (Overground) around Shoreditch High Street (Overground), with 98% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a E1 job to an existing Hackney round at short notice.

  • Do you handle difficult access in Shoreditch?

    Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts on Hackney bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Hackney it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Shoreditch — and this being a short walk from Shoreditch High Street (Overground), with 37% of E1 homes being privately rented.
