Overview
This page prices end of tenancy clearance for Thamesmead SE28 specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 7,133 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich 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
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. Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE28 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE28, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Thamesmead gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads.
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. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →

Working in Thamesmead
7,133 households sit inside the SE28 neighbourhood covering Thamesmead. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 47% of those homes are flats.
Because 28% of Thamesmead is privately rented and 39% socially rented, a lot of SE28 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Thamesmead substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Thamesmead gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE28 customer twice.
Thamesmead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of London's biggest regeneration programmes — which is why a SE28 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads — 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 Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line).

Studio or one-bed left items clear starts at £140 in Thamesmead on this side of Greenwich, with 32% owner-occupation locally, 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 in this 47% flats neighbourhood. A one-bed with a full house of abandoned furniture costs more than a three-bed left broom-clean on Greenwich bookings, with 29% one-person households here.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near Southmere Lake, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Thamesmead most weeks for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Southmere Lake, with 7,133 households on this patch.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Greenwich. With 47% of Thamesmead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Thamesmead, with 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads in Thamesmead. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses — and 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented, with Southmere Lake a few streets away.
Registered waste carrier. A waste transfer note is issued on request for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses, with 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented, which most managing agents keep on file alongside the check-out report and deposit deduction paperwork. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Thamesmead, with Southmere Lake a few streets away.
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 on the streets near Southmere Lake, with Southmere Lake a few streets away, which we leave in place pending agreement; Hazardous household waste such as old paint tins or gas canisters, booked as a separate collection. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Thamesmead SE28 price you agree is the price you pay across SE28, with 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented.
