Overview
Clearance services in Earl's Court SW5, explained
This page prices clearance services for Earl's Court SW5 specifically: period conversion stock, 44% privately rented and 3,241 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How clearance services works in Earl's Court
Five steps, the same on every SW5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW5, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — measured on the walk in from Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly) 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 Earl's Court customers book us
What follows is specific to Earl's Court: its walls, its access and the paperwork Kensington and Chelsea 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. Dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift.
Booked around your day
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a SW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Earl's Court walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SW5, often with surface conduit, with 31% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW5, 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 Earl's Court stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in Earl's Court
Fixed prices for SW5 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 Earl's Court
The same scope across SW5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Earl's Court: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, timed against the walk in from Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly)
- On SW5 jobs: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, agreed on the doorstep in Earl's Court before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: sweep-up of the cleared space, allowing for the 44% of SW5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste, noted on the Earl's Court job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, and we will say so before the SW5 visit rather than on the day
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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 Earl's Court

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.

Working in Earl's Court
Earl's Court SW5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Earl's Court — the numbers that actually change a clearance services quote.
In Earl's Court (SW5) the split is 97% flats to 3% houses over 3,241 households, and the stock is period conversion.
With 44% private renting against 25% owner-occupied, most SW5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Earl's Court substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SW5, often with surface conduit, with 31% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. 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 Earl's Court stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment is the mistake that costs a SW5 customer twice.
Tall stucco terraces of flats and short lets around the former exhibition site. That character decides the practical detail of clearance services here far more than the borough boundary does. Earl's Court sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift. Nearest station is Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly), 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.
