London clearance · Central London
Local clearance services for City of London and its 10 covered areas. The Square Mile — banking towers, medieval lanes and a resident population dwarfed by 500,000 weekday workers.
Fixed prices
| 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. |
Domestic prices are the total you pay. Landlord and commercial invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. Where a permit, bay suspension, ULEZ or Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote before the crew is booked, never added afterwards.
Working in City of London
City of London is built from barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks, and the mix changes street by street — Aldgate (EC3), Bank and Cornhill (EC3) and Barbican (EC2) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, congestion charge and ulez, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Locally that means aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking and bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
City of London Corporation runs its own bulky-waste collection and reuse and recycling centres, and residents can use them — but the wait, the size limits and the trips are why most people call a licensed carrier instead. Ours issues the transfer note that keeps the liability off you.
Roman Londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the Blitz, now layered with towers around Bishopsgate. That history is why City of London property behaves the way it does today.

£180
Single item collection starts at £45 in City of London, and the ladder runs up to £70 for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: E1, EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4. On the ground that includes Aldgate, Bank and Cornhill, Barbican, Blackfriars, Clerkenwell and Farringdon.
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with City of London Corporation and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
We are a registered upper-tier waste carrier and issue a waste transfer note for every load — the document that protects you from a fly-tipping fine if your waste is later found dumped. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what City of London Corporation tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
Standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every City of London postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building and Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed. If something on that list turns up in City of London, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
