Overview
Clearance services in Kew TW9, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Kew Gardens, clearance services here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 41% of Kew's 4,163 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How clearance services works in Kew
Five steps, the same on every TW9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Kew stock goes, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Kew customers book us
Four things decide whether a TW9 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a TW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kew walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in TW9, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — measured on the walk in from Kew Gardens (District, Overground) rather than assumed from a map in TW9, 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 — and narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages.
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 Kew
Fixed prices for TW9 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 Kew
The same scope across TW9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On TW9 jobs: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, agreed on the doorstep in Kew before anything is unpacked
- In Kew: licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, timed against the walk in from Kew Gardens (District, Overground)
- Sweep-up of the cleared space, noted on the Kew job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste, allowing for the 30% of TW9 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, and we will say so before the TW9 visit rather than on the day
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, outside the fixed price on Kew bookings
- Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed, quoted separately if you need it arranged in TW9

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.

Kew TW9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kew — the numbers that actually change a clearance services quote.
Walk Kew from Kew Gardens outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 41% of the 4,163 households in TW9 live in flats, 59% in houses.
Private renting sits at 30% and owner-occupation at 64%; the first group books clearance services at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect solid London stock brick in TW9, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — measured on the walk in from Kew Gardens (District, Overground) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in TW9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — and narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Kew knows the pattern near Kew Gardens: the botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them. We plan the TW9 visit around it. Kew is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, 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.

Can you clear from a flat above the second floor in Kew?
Yes. 41% of homes here are flats, with 30% of TW9 homes being privately rented — and 41% of homes here being flats, 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 TW9 jobs.

Every load comes with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, naming the transfer station, weight and date on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 59% of Kew homes being houses.

All three.
