Fixed prices

End of tenancy clearance prices in City of London

Fixed prices for City of London, agreed before the crew is booked. How much was actually left behind, not the size of the property. A one-bed with a full house of abandoned furniture costs more than a three-bed left broom-clean. Where the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages apply in City of London, they are itemised rather than rolled into an hourly rate.
End of tenancy clearance price guide for City of London
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or one-bed left items clear£1401–2 hrsPriced for the volume a departing tenant typically leaves behind — a bed, a sofa and a few bags of belongings rather than a full house.
Two/three-bed full clearance£3202–4 hrsA full property clear where the tenant has left completely, including anything the inventory check-out list flags as removed rather than damaged.
Single item, tenant abandoned£5530–45 minOne sofa, mattress or wardrobe left behind after a move-out, quoted per item so a landlord is not paying for a full clearance minimum.
Storage or garage clear-out, per property£1801–2 hrsCommunal or private storage attached to the let, cleared before the next tenant's check-in inventory is drawn up.
Same-day clearance before check-out£2202–3 hrsBooked against a fixed check-out appointment with the inventory clerk, which means the crew has to be first on site, not fitted around a normal run.
Clearance plus end of tenancy clean, per property£480Half dayOne booking covering both the clear and the inventory-standard clean, which is cheaper and faster than co-ordinating two separate contractors on the same deadline.

Domestic prices are what you pay, with no VAT to add. Where an agent or landlord needs the job invoiced to a managing company, that invoice is issued plus VAT at 20% as a business supply. Access charges, CPZ suspensions and hazardous items are itemised on the quote before booking.

Working in City of London

Why City of London is not a generic London job

St Paul's Cathedral is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in City of London.

The housing stock

The stock in City of London is barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks, and the mix changes street by street — Aldgate (EC3), Bank and Cornhill (EC3) and Barbican (EC2) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

City of London Corporation sets the constraint: congestion charge and ulez, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Locally that means aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking and bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

City of London Corporation rules

Most rental blocks in City of London sit inside a controlled parking zone, and a van loading a full tenancy clearance on moving day needs longer at the kerb than a resident's permit allows. We check the CPZ hours before booking and suspend a bay where the block has no dedicated loading area, so the crew is not moved on mid-load with the deposit clock running.

How the borough got this way

Why it looks like this: roman londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the blitz, now layered with towers around bishopsgate.

Scope

What's included in City of London

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Aldgate or St Paul's.

Included in the price

  • Same-day and next-day slots that can be booked directly against a check-out appointment time
  • Photographic record of the cleared property, timestamped for the landlord's or agent's file
  • Sorting of items left behind for donation, recycling or disposal, with a note of what went where
  • Removal of communal bin store and storage cupboard items included in the let
  • Waste transfer note issued where the job is invoiced to a letting agent or managing company
  • Coordination with the inventory clerk's check-out time so the property is empty for the walk-round

Not included

  • The end of tenancy clean itself, quoted and booked separately unless taken as the combined package
  • Structural damage repair, redecoration or making good marks left by furniture
  • Items the outgoing tenant disputes ownership of, which we leave in place pending agreement
  • Hazardous household waste such as old paint tins or gas canisters, booked as a separate collection

Method

How a City of London booking runs

Five steps, the same on every City of London job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. Step 1

    Check-out date confirmed

    We work back from the inventory clerk's appointment time, because a clearance that finishes after the check-out walk-round has missed the point of the job.

  2. Step 2

    Survey or photos reviewed

    Volume estimated from photos or a quick visit, so the quote reflects what has actually been left rather than a generic per-room rate.

  3. Step 3

    Access booked

    Building entry codes, lift booking or a CPZ suspension arranged in advance for blocks with restricted loading.

  4. Step 4

    Clearance carried out

    Left items removed, sorted for donation or disposal, and any communal or storage areas covered by the let cleared with them.

  5. Step 5

    Handover pack sent

    Photographs of the empty property emailed the same day, ready to attach to the check-out report.

Local questions

End of tenancy clearance in City of London — your questions

  • How much does an end of tenancy clearance cost in City of London?

    Studio or one-bed left items clear starts at £140 in City of London, and the ladder runs up to £480 for the largest job on the table above. How much was actually left behind, not the size of the property. A one-bed with a full house of abandoned furniture costs more than a three-bed left broom-clean. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which City of London postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: E1, EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4. On the ground that includes Aldgate, Bank and Cornhill, Barbican, Blackfriars, Clerkenwell and Farringdon.

  • How quickly can you get to City of London?

    Next-day as standard, same-day where the check-out appointment allows a morning booking. Weekend slots are available for agents working to a Saturday move-out. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in City of London?

    Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with City of London Corporation and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in City of London flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in City of London?

    Registered waste carrier. A waste transfer note is issued on request, which most managing agents keep on file alongside the check-out report and deposit deduction paperwork. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what City of London Corporation tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    Two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every City of London postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    The end of tenancy clean itself, quoted and booked separately unless taken as the combined package, Structural damage repair, redecoration or making good marks left by furniture and Items the outgoing tenant disputes ownership of, which we leave in place pending agreement. If something on that list turns up in City of London, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
