Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Highbury fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide end of tenancy clearance in Highbury N5 for houses and flats around Highbury Fields and the Emirates Stadium.

Overview
End of tenancy clearance in Highbury N5 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Islington, most of them mainly Victorian. 7,327 households sit inside this N5 patch, 77% of them flats, so we quote on access near Highbury Fields and the Emirates Stadium rather than a London average.
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. Highbury & Islington (Victoria, Overground) is the nearest station, so a N5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Highbury, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Highbury & Islington (Victoria, Overground) rather than assumed from a map in N5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Highbury gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Match-day road closures and controlled parking, plus flats three or four floors up without lifts.
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 Highbury
In Highbury (N5) the split is 77% flats to 23% houses over 7,327 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The social-housing-led mix here (37% owned, 30% privately rented) means a N5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Highbury substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Highbury, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Highbury & Islington (Victoria, Overground) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Highbury gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a N5 customer twice.
Highbury sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — highbury Fields, Arsenal match days and streets of tall Victorian terraces — which is why a N5 quote is not a Islington average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: match-day road closures and controlled parking, plus flats three or four floors up without lifts. Highbury & Islington (Victoria, Overground) is the nearest station, and two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift.
