How it works
How clearance services works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 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 49% 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 Custom House customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Custom House wall.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House 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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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. |

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.

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a clearance services quote.
Custom House E16 is post-war and social-housing-led: 50% of homes here are flats and 50% are houses, across 3,330 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (26% owned, 24% privately rented) means a E16 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Custom House is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces.
Custom House 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 — regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line — which is why a E16 quote is not a Newham average.
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), 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.

Common questions
Clearance services in Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does clearance services cost in Custom House E16?
Single item collection starts at £45 in Custom House on Newham bookings, with 3,330 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 for Custom House (E16) addresses — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with Newham parking rules in play.
What does a part-load clearance cost in Custom House E16?
A quarter-load starts at £120 and a half-load at £200, priced on the volume in the van rather than the hour on Newham bookings, with 26% one-person households here. Loads collected around Custom House station and Victoria Dock are usually quoted from photos in this 50% flats neighbourhood — and 50% of Custom House homes being houses, with 49% social-rented stock nearby, so the figure you are given before the crew leaves is the figure you pay.
Do you need a permit to park in E16?
Often, yes. London Borough of Newham runs permit-only bays across much of Custom House for Custom House (E16) addresses — and Newham parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Newham territory, and where a suspension is needed we arrange it and itemise the cost in the quote instead of adding it afterwards.
Can you clear from a flat above the second floor in Custom House?
Yes. 50% of homes here are flats, with 26% one-person households here, so lift bookings, shared stairwells and porter sign-in are routine for us — tell us the floor and whether there is a lift and the crew size is set for it on the Custom House rounds — and 3,330 households on this patch.
I am a tenant in Newham — will I get proof of disposal?
Every load comes with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, naming the transfer station, weight and date around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with 50% of homes here being flats. With 24% of Custom House homes privately rented, that document is what most letting agents ask for at check-out across E16, with this being London Borough of Newham territory.
What is not included in clearance services in Custom House?
Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier; Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building; Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed on the Custom House rounds, with 26% owner-occupation locally — and 50% of homes here being flats. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Custom House E16 price you agree is the price you pay on Newham bookings, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
Who books clearance services in Custom House E16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 24% of Custom House privately rented and 26% owner-occupied, roughly half the E16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Custom House (E16) addresses — and 24% of E16 homes being privately rented, with Newham parking rules in play.
