Overview
Flat and apartment clearance in Cranham RM14, explained
Flat and apartment clearance in Cranham RM14 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Havering, most of them mixed-era. 5,823 households sit inside this RM14 patch, 12% of them flats, so we quote on access near Cranham Marsh nature reserve rather than a London average.
How it works
How flat and apartment clearance works in Cranham
Five steps, the same on every RM14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, as the Cranham stock goes, and with 10% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Cranham customers book us
Four things decide whether a RM14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Upminster (District, c2c) is the nearest station, so a RM14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Cranham walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in RM14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — which is why London Borough of Havering 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 Cranham
Fixed prices for RM14 and the rest of Havering. 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 Cranham
The same scope across RM14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On RM14 jobs: two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included, agreed on the doorstep in Cranham before anything is unpacked
- In Cranham: dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them, timed against the walk in from Upminster (District, c2c)
- Lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you, noted on the Cranham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Havering bookings: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, allowing for the 10% of RM14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On RM14 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request, with 12% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Cranham: communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back, the way it is done on Cranham jobs
Not included
- Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, and we will say so before the RM14 visit rather than on the day
- Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out, outside the fixed price on Cranham bookings
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, quoted separately if you need it arranged in RM14
- Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, which we refer on to the right trade in Cranham

Working in Cranham
Cranham RM14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Cranham — the numbers that actually change a flat and apartment clearance quote.
The RM14 stock around Cranham Marsh nature reserve is mixed-era. ONS records 12% flats, 88% houses and 5,823 households in Cranham.
Owner-occupation runs at 86% in Cranham, so alongside the 10% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in RM14. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Cranham knows the pattern near Cranham Marsh nature reserve: quiet green-belt-edge suburb of bungalows and detached homes. We plan the RM14 visit around it. Cranham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, the easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds — 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 Upminster (District, c2c).

Common questions
Flat and apartment clearance in Cranham RM14 — your questions.
How much does flat and apartment clearance cost in Cranham RM14?
Studio or single room clear starts at £140 in Cranham on Havering bookings, with 5,823 households on this patch, 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 streets near Cranham Marsh nature reserve, with 86% owner-occupation locally. A tenth-floor flat with a booked goods lift is cheaper to clear than a third-floor walk-up holding the same contents on RM14 jobs, with Havering parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Cranham RM14?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on RM14 jobs, with this being a short walk from Upminster (District, c2c). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Cranham most weeks around Upminster (District, c2c), with 86% owner-occupation locally.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Cranham?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Upminster (District, c2c), with Havering parking rules in play. Near Cranham Marsh nature reserve that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Cranham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Havering bookings. With 12% of Cranham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Cranham rounds, with this being London Borough of Havering territory — and 5% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Is same-day or evening flat and apartment clearance available in Havering?
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with 88% of Cranham homes being houses. Cranham sits close to Upminster (District, c2c), with 5% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a RM14 job to an existing Havering round at short notice on this side of Havering.
Do you handle difficult access in Cranham?
The easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds on Havering bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Havering it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Cranham, with 88% of Cranham homes being houses.
Are your fitters insured for work in RM14?
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 around Upminster (District, c2c), with 25% one-person households here — and a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood, with a transfer note issued in your name for every load. That paperwork is what most Havering letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on RM14 jobs, with 5,823 households on this patch.
