Overview

Flat and apartment clearance in Lewisham SE13, explained

Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Lewisham, flat and apartment clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 75% of Lewisham's 3,987 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE13 shape the slot length we hold.

How it works

How flat and apartment clearance works in Lewisham

Five steps, the same on every SE13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Lewisham stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Lewisham customers book us

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

Lewisham walls, not generic walls

We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.

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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.

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. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Flat and apartment clearance prices in Lewisham

Fixed prices for SE13 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 Lewisham SE13
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 Lewisham

The same scope across SE13, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • On SE13 jobs: two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included, with 75% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
  • In Lewisham: dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them, the way it is done on Lewisham jobs
  • Lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you — including local flat and apartment clearance
  • Standard on Lewisham bookings: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it
  • On SE13 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request, flat and apartment clearance included
  • In Lewisham: communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back, sized for the roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers

Not included

  • Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, outside the fixed price on Lewisham bookings
  • Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE13
  • Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, which we refer on to the right trade in Lewisham
  • Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead

Lewisham SE13 at a glance

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

Census 2021 puts Lewisham at 3,987 households with a median age of 35.3. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 25% houses and 75% flats need different handling in SE13.

33% of households rent privately and 32% own, which is why flat and apartment clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

Lewisham substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SE13 customer twice.

Two streets can behave very differently in Lewisham: the market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. Nearest station is Lewisham (DLR, 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.

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.

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

    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 Lewisham, with this being a short walk from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Lewisham doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SE13 jobs. With 75% of Lewisham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), with 33% of SE13 homes being privately rented — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

    Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist; Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out; Piano and safe removal for Lewisham (SE13) addresses, with 32% owner-occupation locally — and Lewisham Market on the High Street a few streets away, 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 Lewisham SE13 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Lewisham Market on the High Street, with 35% social-rented stock nearby.

  • Who books flat and apartment clearance in Lewisham SE13 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 33% of Lewisham privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SE13 jobs — and 32% owner-occupation locally, with 35% social-rented stock nearby.
