Southwark · SE5 · Flat and apartment clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Camberwell fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide flat and apartment clearance in Camberwell SE5 for houses and flats around Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery. From £140, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Denmark Hill, flat and apartment clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 83% of Camberwell's 12,806 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE5 shape the slot length we hold.
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
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE5, often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery in SE5, 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, as the Camberwell stock goes, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps.
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 →

The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Camberwell
In Camberwell (SE5) the split is 83% flats to 17% houses over 12,806 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
Because 24% of Camberwell is privately rented and 44% socially rented, a lot of SE5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE5, often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery, so the fixing that matters in Camberwell is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Camberwell stock goes, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Camberwell sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — georgian Camberwell Grove, the art college and King's College Hospital — which is why a SE5 quote is not a Southwark average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps. Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, 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.

Studio or single room clear starts at £140 in Camberwell around Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink), with this being London Borough of Southwark territory, 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 across SE5, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. A tenth-floor flat with a booked goods lift is cheaper to clear than a third-floor walk-up holding the same contents on the Camberwell rounds, with Southwark parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 83% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Camberwell most weeks for Camberwell (SE5) addresses, with 24% of SE5 homes being privately rented.
In Camberwell, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink), with 34% one-person households here. Ask for it in writing before the SE5 visit and it is on the job sheet.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across SE5. With 83% of Camberwell homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) — and Southwark parking rules in play, with Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps on SE5 jobs. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Southwark it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery — and 24% of SE5 homes being privately rented, with 34% one-person households here.
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 on SE5 jobs, with 44% social-rented stock nearby — and 24% of SE5 homes being privately rented, with a transfer note issued in your name for every load. That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Southwark, with 24% of SE5 homes being privately rented.
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 across SE5, with 34% one-person households here — and 83% of homes here being flats, 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 Camberwell SE5 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Southwark, with Southwark parking rules in play.
