London end of tenancy clearance · South London
We work in Lewisham every week — deptford's market and victorian new cross, hill villages at blackheath and forest hill, and catford's high street. End of tenancy clearance is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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 Lewisham
Lewisham is built from victorian and edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s catford estates and new lewisham town-centre towers, and the mix changes street by street — Bellingham and Downham (SE6), Brockley (SE4) and Catford (SE6) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: steep hills at honor oak and forest hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding cpzs across se4 and se14. Locally that means wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a luton and steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights. Lewisham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Most rental blocks in Lewisham sit inside a controlled parking zone, and a van loading a full tenancy clearance on moving day needs longer at the kerb than a resident's permit allows. We check the CPZ hours before booking and suspend a bay where the block has no dedicated loading area, so the crew is not moved on mid-load with the deposit clock running.
Why it looks like this: kentish villages absorbed by railways from the 1840s; deptford's naval dockyard and deptford creek shaped its industrial edge.
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 Lewisham, 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: SE12, SE13, SE14, SE23, SE26, SE4, SE6 and SE8. On the ground that includes Bellingham and Downham, Brockley, Catford, Deptford, Forest Hill and Grove Park.
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 London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Steep hills at Honor Oak and Forest Hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding CPZs across SE4 and SE14. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Lewisham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Victorian and Edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s Catford estates and new Lewisham town-centre towers 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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
