London end of tenancy clearance · Central London
End of tenancy clearance across Islington, from EC1, EC1V and N1 outwards. Georgian squares and canal basins around Angel, giving way to dense estates and Arsenal crowds further north, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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. |

Working in Islington
Islington is built from four-storey georgian terraces with basements, victorian conversions and large council estates around finsbury park, and the mix changes street by street — Angel (N1), Archway (N19) and Barnsbury (N1) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, wall-to-wall cpzs, red routes on holloway road and city road, and terraces with no off-street parking at all. Locally that means seven-day cpz, no off-street parking on the georgian streets and steep basement access and gyratory red routes, steep hill streets and estate blocks with booked lifts. Part of Islington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
London Borough of Islington runs a bulky waste collection for Islington residents, but it is booked days ahead, limited to a handful of items a visit and will not touch a whole flat's worth of furniture the night before a check-out inspection. A managing agent working to a fixed handover date needs a same-day crew, not a council slot booked for the following week.
A spa and pleasure-garden suburb that filled with Georgian and early Victorian terraces, then gentrified hard from the 1970s. That history is why Islington property behaves the way it does today.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
The parent residential silo — full or part-house clearances across London.
Sofas, wardrobes and bulky furniture removed per item with no minimum load.
Mixed household loads collected by volume with a same-day tip run.
The inventory-standard clean that follows once the property is cleared.
Studio or one-bed left items clear starts at £140 in Islington, 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.
We cover the whole borough: EC1, EC1V, N1, N19, N4, N5 and N7. On the ground that includes Angel, Archway, Barnsbury, Canonbury, Finsbury Park and Highbury.
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.
Wall-to-wall CPZs, red routes on Holloway Road and City Road, and terraces with no off-street parking at all. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Islington and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Four-storey Georgian terraces with basements, Victorian conversions and large council estates around Finsbury Park 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.
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 London Borough of Islington tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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 Islington postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 Islington, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
