Clearance services in New Cross SE14, explained
This page prices clearance services for New Cross SE14 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 34% privately rented and 11,771 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How clearance services works in New Cross
Five steps, the same on every SE14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 New Cross customers book us
What follows is specific to New Cross: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lewisham agents ask for.
New Cross walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE14, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is New Cross gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Cross actually produces.
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. September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in New Cross
Fixed prices for SE14 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 New Cross
The same scope across SE14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, allowing for the 34% of SE14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, noted on the New Cross job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In New Cross: sweep-up of the cleared space, timed against the walk in from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern)
- On SE14 jobs: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste, agreed on the doorstep in New Cross before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, outside the fixed price on New Cross bookings
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, and we will say so before the SE14 visit rather than on the day
- Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed, which we refer on to the right trade in New Cross

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.

New Cross SE14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers New Cross — the numbers that actually change a clearance services quote.
In New Cross (SE14) the split is 73% flats to 27% houses over 11,771 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 34% of New Cross is privately rented and 36% socially rented, a lot of SE14 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE14, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in New Cross is chosen on site — the usual failure here is New Cross gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Cross actually produces.
New Cross is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets — which is why a SE14 quote is not a Lewisham average.
September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. Nearest station is New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), 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.

A quarter-load starts at £120 and a half-load at £200, priced on the volume in the van rather than the hour on SE14 jobs, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory. Loads collected around Goldsmiths, University of London are usually quoted from photos on this side of Lewisham — and 27% of New Cross homes being houses, with 73% of homes here being flats, so the figure you are given before the crew leaves is the figure you pay.
