How it works
How end of tenancy clearance works in Blackfriars
Five steps, the same on every EC4 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Blackfriars gives us new-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Blackfriars actually produces is what we plan for here.
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.
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.
Step 3
Access booked
Building entry codes, lift booking or a CPZ suspension arranged in advance for blocks with restricted loading.
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.
Step 5
Handover pack sent
Photographs of the empty property emailed the same day, ready to attach to the check-out report.
Why choose us
Why Blackfriars customers book us
What follows is specific to Blackfriars: its walls, its access and the paperwork City of London agents ask for.
Booked around your day
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. Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a EC4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Blackfriars walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC4 neighbourhood in EC4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in EC4, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Blackfriars (Circle, District, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
End of tenancy clearance prices in Blackfriars
Fixed prices for EC4 and the rest of City of London. 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.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed left items clear | £140 | 1–2 hrs | Priced 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 | £320 | 2–4 hrs | A 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 | £55 | 30–45 min | One 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 | £180 | 1–2 hrs | Communal 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 | £220 | 2–3 hrs | Booked 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 | £480 | Half day | One 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. |

Scope
What's included in Blackfriars

Included in the price
- Same-day and next-day slots that can be booked directly against a check-out appointment time — including local end of tenancy clearance
- Standard on City of London bookings: photographic record of the cleared property, timestamped for the landlord's or agent's file, arranged with City of London Corporation where the kerb needs it
- On EC4 jobs: sorting of items left behind for donation, recycling or disposal, with a note of what went where, with 98% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift

- Waste transfer note issued where the job is invoiced to a letting agent or managing company, checked on every EC4 visit
- Standard on City of London bookings: coordination with the inventory clerk's check-out time so the property is empty for the walk-round, with 4,914 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- The end of tenancy clean itself, quoted and booked separately unless taken as the combined package, and we will say so before the EC4 visit rather than on the day
- Structural damage repair, redecoration or making good marks left by furniture, outside the fixed price on Blackfriars bookings
- Items the outgoing tenant disputes ownership of, which we leave in place pending agreement, which we refer on to the right trade in Blackfriars
- Hazardous household waste such as old paint tins or gas canisters, booked as a separate collection, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead
