Overview
End of tenancy clearance in South Kensington SW7, explained
End of tenancy clearance in South Kensington SW7 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 2,840 households sit inside this SW7 patch, 86% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Victoria and Albert Museum rather than a London average.
How it works
How end of tenancy clearance works in South Kensington
Five steps, the same on every SW7 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — measured on the walk in from South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly) rather than assumed from a map 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 South Kensington customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW7 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
Two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift. Museum-visitor traffic, single-lane service roads and lift-free upper floors in older conversions.
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. South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a SW7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
South Kensington walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in South Kensington, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 54% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
End of tenancy clearance prices in South Kensington
Fixed prices for SW7 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 South Kensington
The same scope across SW7, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: same-day and next-day slots that can be booked directly against a check-out appointment time, with 2,840 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Photographic record of the cleared property, timestamped for the landlord's or agent's file, checked on every SW7 visit
- In South Kensington: sorting of items left behind for donation, recycling or disposal, with a note of what went where, sized for the museum-visitor traffic, single-lane service roads and lift-free upper floors in older conversions
- On SW7 jobs: removal of communal bin store and storage cupboard items included in the let, end of tenancy clearance included
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: waste transfer note issued where the job is invoiced to a letting agent or managing company, allowing for the 54% of SW7 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Coordination with the inventory clerk's check-out time so the property is empty for the walk-round, noted on the South Kensington job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- The end of tenancy clean itself, quoted and booked separately unless taken as the combined package, which we refer on to the right trade in South Kensington
- Structural damage repair, redecoration or making good marks left by furniture, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW7
- Items the outgoing tenant disputes ownership of, which we leave in place pending agreement, and we will say so before the SW7 visit rather than on the day
- Hazardous household waste such as old paint tins or gas canisters, booked as a separate collection, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or a specialist contractor instead

South Kensington SW7 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers South Kensington — the numbers that actually change a end of tenancy clearance quote.
2,840 households sit inside the SW7 neighbourhood covering South Kensington. The build is period conversion, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 86% of those homes are flats.
With 54% private renting against 38% owner-occupied, most SW7 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in South Kensington, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SW7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, and with 54% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Museum quarter, French lycée and cream-stucco crescents. That character decides the practical detail of end of tenancy clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. South Kensington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: museum-visitor traffic, single-lane service roads and lift-free upper floors in older conversions. South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly) 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.
