Flat and apartment clearance in Catford SE6, explained

This page prices flat and apartment clearance for Catford SE6 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 6,981 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.

How it works

How flat and apartment clearance works in Catford

Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Catford customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Catford wall.

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. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Catford walls, not generic walls

We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Catford, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat.

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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.

Fixed prices

Flat and apartment clearance prices in Catford

Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Catford SE6
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 Catford

The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Standard on Lewisham bookings: two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included, allowing for the 33% of SE6 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 Catford job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • In Catford: lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you, timed against the walk in from Catford (Southeastern)
  • On SE6 jobs: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, agreed on the doorstep in Catford before anything is unpacked
  • Standard on Lewisham bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request, with 6,981 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 SE6 visit

Not included

  • Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, and we will say so before the SE6 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 Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
  • Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6
  • Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, outside the fixed price on Catford bookings

Working in Catford

Catford SE6 at a glance

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

6,981 households sit inside the SE6 neighbourhood covering Catford. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 62% of those homes are flats.

With 33% private renting against 42% owner-occupied, most SE6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.

Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Catford, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SE6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat is the fault we are called back to undo.

Catford 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 — the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops — which is why a SE6 quote is not a Lewisham average.

South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Nearest station is Catford (Southeastern), 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 Catford SE6 — your questions.

  • How much does flat and apartment clearance cost in Catford SE6?

    Studio or single room clear starts at £140 in Catford on Lewisham bookings, with 42% 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 Catford rounds, with 6,981 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 SE6 jobs, with 33% one-person households here.

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Catford SE6?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Catford (SE6) addresses, with 62% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Catford most weeks on the Catford rounds, with Lewisham parking rules in play.

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

    5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Catford, with 42% owner-occupation locally.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Catford doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Lewisham bookings. With 62% of Catford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near The Catford Cat, with 38% of Catford homes being houses — and 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • How quickly can you reach Catford from your Lewisham round?

    The Catford Cat is the marker we route to on SE6 jobs, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), and south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. A SE6 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near The Catford Cat, with 42% owner-occupation locally.

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

    Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed in Catford, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory. Catford sits close to Catford (Southeastern), with 62% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a SE6 job to an existing Lewisham round at short notice around Catford (Southeastern).

  • Do you handle difficult access in Catford?

    South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind on the Catford rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lewisham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on SE6 jobs — and Lewisham parking rules in play, with 38% of Catford homes being houses.
