Overview
Clearance services in Oval SE11, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Oval, clearance services here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 77% of Oval's 3,633 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How clearance services works in Oval
Five steps, the same on every SE11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 3,633 households inside the SE11 neighbourhood 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 Oval customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE11 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Oval walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Oval gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Kia Oval cricket ground.
Insured and documented
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.
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. Match-day road closures around the ground, red routes on Kennington Park Road and permit-only side streets.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in Oval
Fixed prices for SE11 and the rest of Lambeth. 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 Oval
The same scope across SE11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, arranged with London Borough of Lambeth where the kerb needs it
- Licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day — including clearance services
- In Oval: sweep-up of the cleared space, the way it is done on Oval jobs
- On SE11 jobs: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste, with 77% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, which we refer on to the right trade in Oval
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE11
- Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed, and we will say so before the SE11 visit rather than on the day

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.

Oval SE11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Oval — the numbers that actually change a clearance services quote.
3,633 households sit inside the SE11 neighbourhood covering Oval. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 77% of those homes are flats.
Because 34% of Oval is privately rented and 38% socially rented, a lot of SE11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Oval substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Oval gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The Kia Oval cricket ground is the mistake that costs a SE11 customer twice.
Oval sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the cricket ground, the gasholders and Georgian terraces running back towards Kennington Park — which is why a SE11 quote is not a Lambeth average.
Match-day road closures around the ground, red routes on Kennington Park Road and permit-only side streets. Nearest station is Oval (Northern), 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.
