Overview
Clearance services in Bow E3, explained
Clearance services in Bow E3 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Tower Hamlets, most of them mainly Victorian. 22,995 households sit inside this E3 patch, 85% of them flats, so we quote on access near Bow Quarter, the former Bryant and May match factory rather than a London average.
How it works
How clearance services works in Bow
Five steps, the same on every E3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — measured on the walk in from Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map 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 Bow customers book us
Four things decide whether a E3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Bow walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Bow gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 31 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.
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. Bow flyover red routes, market-day restrictions and gated conversion estates.
Fixed prices
Clearance services prices in Bow
Fixed prices for E3 and the rest of Tower Hamlets. 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 Bow
The same scope across E3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: two crew, all carrying and loading — nothing needs moving to the kerb first, with 22,995 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Licensed disposal with a waste transfer note emailed the same day, checked on every E3 visit
- In Bow: sweep-up of the cleared space, sized for the bow flyover red routes, market-day restrictions and gated conversion estates
- On E3 jobs: segregation for recycling and reuse before anything goes to residual waste, clearance services prices included
Not included
- Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, outside the fixed price on Bow bookings
- Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building, and we will say so before the E3 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 Bow

Bow E3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bow — the numbers that actually change a clearance services quote.
Bow E3 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 85% of homes here are flats and 15% are houses, across 22,995 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 31% of Bow is privately rented and 40% socially rented, a lot of E3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in E3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Bow gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Bow sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — roman Road market, Bow Quarter's match-factory lofts and canal-side streets — which is why a E3 quote is not a Tower Hamlets average.
On access, bow flyover red routes, market-day restrictions and gated conversion estates — one reason standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling. Fitters travelling in use Bow Road (District, Hammersmith & City).
