Overview
Flat and apartment clearance in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained
This page prices flat and apartment clearance for Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 28% privately rented and 4,944 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How flat and apartment clearance works in Mortlake and East Sheen
Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Mortlake and East Sheen gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, and with 28% 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Mortlake and East Sheen 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. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — the pattern behind 4,944 households inside the SW14 neighbourhood.
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 Mortlake and East Sheen
Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 Mortlake and East Sheen
The same scope across SW14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Two crew who clear room by room, with stairs, walk-ups and long lift-lobby carries included, checked on every SW14 visit
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: dismantling wardrobes, beds and sofas in the room where the door or stairwell will not take them, allowing for the 28% of SW14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW14 jobs: lift booking, concierge sign-in and loading-bay arrangements made with the block manager for you, agreed on the doorstep in Mortlake and East Sheen before anything is unpacked
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: reusable furniture, clothing and homeware offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, timed against the walk in from Mortlake (South Western)
- Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, plus before-and-after photographs on request — including flat and apartment clearance
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: communal areas sheeted and the flat swept through before we hand the keys back, arranged with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which need a licensed specialist, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW14
- Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out, which we refer on to the right trade in Mortlake and East Sheen
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, and we will say so before the SW14 visit rather than on the day
- Anything in a communal bin store that is not the flat's own waste, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
