This page prices end of tenancy clearance for Purley CR8 specifically: inter-war stock, 26% privately rented and 7,502 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Croydon permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
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
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
Building entry codes, lift booking or a CPZ suspension arranged in advance for blocks with restricted loading.
Step 4
Left items removed, sorted for donation or disposal, and any communal or storage areas covered by the let cleared with them.
Step 5
Photographs of the empty property emailed the same day, ready to attach to the check-out report.
Why choose us
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in CR8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in CR8, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Purley (Southern) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
Two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift. Steep hill roads with sharp turns; driveways on most residential streets.
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. Purley (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| 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
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times.

Working in Purley
Census 2021 puts Purley at 7,502 households with a median age of 38.1. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 56% houses and 44% flats need different handling in CR8.
26% of households rent privately and 64% own, which is why end of tenancy clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Purley substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in CR8, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Purley (Southern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a CR8 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Purley: a downland town at the foot of the Brighton Road hills, with big detached houses above. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Purley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep hill roads with sharp turns; driveways on most residential streets — one reason two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift. Fitters travelling in use Purley (Southern).

Studio or one-bed left items clear starts at £140 in Purley on CR8 jobs — and 29% one-person households here, with 26% of CR8 homes being privately rented, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. How much was actually left behind, not the size of the property on this side of Croydon. A one-bed with a full house of abandoned furniture costs more than a three-bed left broom-clean across CR8, with Croydon parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Purley (CR8) addresses, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Purley most weeks on the streets near Purley Rotary Field, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
For CR8 bookings, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 44% flats neighbourhood, with 64% owner-occupation locally. Around Purley (Southern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Purley rounds. With 44% of Purley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on CR8 jobs — and 26% of CR8 homes being privately rented, with 44% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 26% of Purley privately rented and 64% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR8 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across CR8 — and 64% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Purley (Southern).
Purley Rotary Field is the marker we route to on the Purley rounds, with 26% of CR8 homes being privately rented, and steep hill roads with sharp turns; driveways on most residential streets. A CR8 slot added to an existing Croydon round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Purley (CR8) addresses, with this being a short walk from Purley (Southern).
Next-day as standard, same-day where the check-out appointment allows a morning booking on Croydon bookings. Weekend slots are available for agents working to a Saturday move-out in this 44% flats neighbourhood. Purley sits close to Purley (Southern), with 26% of CR8 homes being privately rented, so we can usually add a CR8 job to an existing Croydon round at short notice for Purley (CR8) addresses.
