Overview
Clearance services in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley BR5, explained
This page prices clearance services for St Mary Cray and Cray Valley BR5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 13% privately rented and 10,135 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How clearance services works in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In BR5, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — measured on the walk in from St Mary Cray (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photo or video survey
Send photos of each room or a walk-through video and you get a fixed price, not a per-hour guess.
Step 2
Fixed written quote
Volume, tip charges, permits and any access cost itemised in one figure with the waste-carrier licence number on it.
Step 3
Sort on site
Anything reusable is set aside for reuse or charity before the rest is loaded.
Step 4
Load and clear
The crew carries everything out; you never need to move items to the kerb.
Step 5
Documented disposal
Waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email the same day.
Why choose us
Why St Mary Cray and Cray Valley customers book us
Four things decide whether a BR5 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
Standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling. Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and industrial-estate access nearby.
Booked around your day
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. St Mary Cray (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
St Mary Cray and Cray Valley walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in BR5, 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 St Mary Cray and Cray Valley stock goes, where 55% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley
Fixed prices for BR5 and the rest of Bromley. Volume and weight set the price. Access adds to it: stairs above the second floor with no lift, red-route frontages and permit-only bays are the three things that move a London quote.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single item collection | £45 | 20–40 min | One sofa, mattress or fridge carried out and weighed in at a licensed transfer station. |
| Quarter-load (approx. 3 cubic yards) | £120 | 45–75 min | Priced on volume in the van plus tip weight, not on how long the crew is on site. |
| Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards) | £200 | 1–2 hrs | A typical garage or one-bedroom flat clear-out including loose bagged waste. |
| Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards) | £380 | 2–4 hrs | Full van, two crew, transfer-station charge and the waste transfer note included. |
| Fridge, freezer or air-con unit | £65 | 20–30 min | Gas-containing appliances go to a WEEE-permitted site, which charges per unit. |
| Garden or builders' waste, per cubic yard | £70 | By volume | Soil, rubble and hardcore are heavy: those loads are capped by weight, not space. |

Scope
What's included in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley
The same scope across BR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In St Mary Cray and Cray Valley: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, the way it is done on St Mary Cray and Cray Valley jobs
- On BR5 jobs: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, with 23% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Bromley bookings: sweep-up of the cleared space, arranged with London Borough of Bromley where the kerb needs it
- Segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste — including clearance services
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, and we will say so before the BR5 visit rather than on the day
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed, which we refer on to the right trade in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley

Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.

St Mary Cray and Cray Valley BR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers St Mary Cray and Cray Valley — the numbers that actually change a clearance services quote.
In St Mary Cray and Cray Valley (BR5) the split is 23% flats to 77% houses over 10,135 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The social-housing-led mix here (55% owned, 13% privately rented) means a BR5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in BR5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the St Mary Cray and Cray Valley stock goes, where 55% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Valley industry, the Cray river and post-war estate housing. That character decides the practical detail of clearance services here far more than the borough boundary does. St Mary Cray and Cray Valley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide estate roads with kerbside parking and industrial-estate access nearby. St Mary Cray (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling.
