Tower Hamlets · E14 · Flat and apartment clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Limehouse fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking flat and apartment clearance near Limehouse Basin? Narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £140 and are fixed before we travel. 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 Limehouse, flat and apartment clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 83% of Limehouse's 7,637 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E14 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
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. Narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking.
Same-week across every borough, with next-day cover common on studios and single-room clears where a check-out date is fixed. Limehouse (DLR, c2c) is the nearest station, so a E14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Limehouse, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Limehouse (DLR, c2c) rather than assumed from a map in E14, 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 Limehouse stock goes, and with 32% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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 Limehouse
In Limehouse (E14) the split is 83% flats to 17% houses over 7,637 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 32% private renting against 25% owner-occupied, most E14 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Limehouse substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Limehouse, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Limehouse (DLR, c2c) 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, as the Limehouse stock goes, and with 32% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a E14 customer twice.
Basin marina, Narrow Street's riverside houses and canal moorings. That character decides the practical detail of flat and apartment clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Limehouse sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Narrow Street is single-track with no turning; marina blocks need gate codes and lift booking. Nearest station is Limehouse (DLR, c2c), 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 Limehouse on the streets near Limehouse Basin, with Tower Hamlets parking rules in play, 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 E14, with 83% of homes here being flats.

Asbestos-containing materials, paint, solvents and gas bottles, with 32% of E14 homes being privately rented — and 42% social-rented stock nearby, which need a licensed specialist; Removing fitted kitchens, bathrooms or built-in joinery where carcassing has to be cut out; Piano and safe removal on E14 jobs, 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 Limehouse E14 price you agree is the price you pay around Limehouse (DLR, c2c), with this being a short walk from Limehouse (DLR, c2c).
All three. With 32% of Limehouse privately rented and 25% owner-occupied, roughly half the E14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Tower Hamlets bookings — and this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory, with 17% of Limehouse homes being houses.
