Overview
Clearance services in Eltham SE9, explained
Clearance services in Eltham SE9 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Greenwich, most of them mainly Victorian. 13,732 households sit inside this SE9 patch, 27% of them flats, so we quote on access near Eltham Palace rather than a London average.
How it works
How clearance services works in Eltham
Five steps, the same on every SE9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE9, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Eltham customers book us
What follows is specific to Eltham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
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. Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only.
Booked around your day
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Eltham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Eltham walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Eltham (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Eltham stock goes, which is what a 27% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Eltham actually produces.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in Eltham
Fixed prices for SE9 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Eltham
The same scope across SE9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Eltham: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, the way it is done on Eltham jobs
- On SE9 jobs: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, with 27% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: sweep-up of the cleared space, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- Segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste — including local clearance services
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, which we refer on to the right trade in Eltham
- Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE9

Eltham SE9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Eltham — the numbers that actually change a clearance services quote.
In Eltham (SE9) the split is 27% flats to 73% houses over 13,732 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 15% of Eltham is privately rented and 21% socially rented, a lot of SE9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Eltham (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Eltham stock goes, which is what a 27% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Eltham actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
The medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis. That character decides the practical detail of clearance services here far more than the borough boundary does. Eltham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only — one reason standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling. Fitters travelling in use Eltham (Southeastern).

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 on SE9 jobs — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with 15% of SE9 homes being privately rented.
What does a part-load clearance cost in Eltham SE9?
A quarter-load starts at £120 and a half-load at £200, priced on the volume in the van rather than the hour for Eltham (SE9) addresses, with 27% of homes here being flats. Loads collected around Eltham Palace are usually quoted from photos in Eltham, with Greenwich parking rules in play, so the figure you are given before the crew leaves is the figure you pay.
Do you need a permit to park in SE9?
Often, yes. Royal Borough of Greenwich runs permit-only bays across much of Eltham in this 27% flats neighbourhood — and 13,732 households on this patch, with 28% one-person households here, and where a suspension is needed we arrange it and itemise the cost in the quote instead of adding it afterwards.
Can you clear from a flat above the second floor in Eltham?
Yes. 27% of homes here are flats, with 73% of Eltham homes being houses — and Eltham Palace a few streets away, so lift bookings, shared stairwells and porter sign-in are routine for us — tell us the floor and whether there is a lift and the crew size is set for it in Eltham.
I am a tenant in Greenwich — will I get proof of disposal?
Every load comes with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, naming the transfer station, weight and date on this side of Greenwich, with 27% of homes here being flats. With 15% of Eltham homes privately rented, that document is what most letting agents ask for at check-out in this 27% flats neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.

Eltham Palace is the marker we route to on this side of Greenwich, with Greenwich parking rules in play, and driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only.
