Lewisham · SE23 · Flat and apartment clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Honor Oak fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for flat and apartment clearance in Honor Oak SE23? We work in Honor Oak most weeks — one Tree Hill, a small parade of shops and Victorian terraces on the slope — and price flat and apartment clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £140, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices flat and apartment clearance for Honor Oak SE23 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 27% privately rented and 3,683 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
Step 1
A short video of each room and a note of the floor is enough for a fixed price on most London flats.
Step 2
We contact the block manager or concierge about the lift, the loading bay and the permitted hours before the day.
Step 3
Hall, lift lobby and communal stairs sheeted, because damage to a shared area is the one thing a block will charge back.
Step 4
Room by room: keep pile set aside, reusable items separated, the rest dismantled and barrowed out.
Step 5
Usable contents to a reuse partner, the balance split by stream, transfer note handed to you on site.
Why choose us
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.
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. Very steep streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Honor Oak Park (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE23 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Honor Oak, with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 20% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE23, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Honor Oak, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around One Tree Hill.
Fixed prices
| 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
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →

Working in Honor Oak
In Honor Oak (SE23) the split is 54% flats to 46% houses over 3,683 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 27% private renting against 53% owner-occupied, most SE23 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Honor Oak, with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 20% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Honor Oak is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Honor Oak, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, the reality on the streets around One Tree Hill.
One Tree Hill, a small parade of shops and Victorian terraces on the slope. That character decides the practical detail of flat and apartment clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Honor Oak is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, very steep streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station — 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 Honor Oak Park (Overground).
