Clearance services in Catford SE6 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,981 households sit inside this SE6 patch, 62% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Catford Cat rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
Send photos of each room or a walk-through video and you get a fixed price, not a per-hour guess.
Step 2
Volume, tip charges, permits and any access cost itemised in one figure with the waste-carrier licence number on it.
Step 3
Anything reusable is set aside for reuse or charity before the rest is loaded.
Step 4
The crew carries everything out; you never need to move items to the kerb.
Step 5
Waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email the same day.
Why choose us
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE6, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
Standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
