Overview
Clearance services in Lee SE12, explained
Clearance services in Lee SE12 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,151 households sit inside this SE12 patch, 39% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Manor House and its gardens rather than a London average.
How it works
How clearance services works in Lee
Five steps, the same on every SE12 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Lee stock goes, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Lee customers book us
What follows is specific to Lee: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lewisham agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Lee (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Lee walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in SE12, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 27% one-person households in Lee, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE12, 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 on these streets — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in Lee
Fixed prices for SE12 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Lee
The same scope across SE12, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE12 jobs: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, with 39% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Lee: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, the way it is done on Lee jobs
- Sweep-up of the cleared space — including local clearance services
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, and we will say so before the SE12 visit rather than on the day
- Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed, outside the fixed price on Lee bookings

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.
