Lewisham · SE6 · End of tenancy clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Catford fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for end of tenancy clearance in Catford SE6? We work in Catford most weeks — the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops — and price end of tenancy clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £140, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Catford, end of tenancy clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 62% of Catford's 6,981 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE6 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is what a 62% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Catford actually produces in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat.
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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
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 Catford
Catford SE6 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 62% of homes here are flats and 38% are houses, across 6,981 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 33% private renting against 42% owner-occupied, most SE6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is what a 62% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Catford actually produces behind the plaster in SE6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat is the fault we are called back to undo.
Catford 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 — the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops — which is why a SE6 quote is not a Lewisham average.
On access, south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind — 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 Catford (Southeastern).

Studio or one-bed left items clear starts at £140 in Catford on the Catford rounds, with 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented — and 6,981 households on this patch, 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 for Catford (SE6) addresses. A one-bed with a full house of abandoned furniture costs more than a three-bed left broom-clean on the streets near The Catford Cat, with 42% owner-occupation locally.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with 25% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Catford most weeks on this side of Lewisham, with 42% owner-occupation locally.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Catford (Southeastern), with The Catford Cat a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Catford rounds. With 62% of Catford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Lewisham bookings, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern) — and The Catford Cat a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern) — and 25% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Catford SE6 price you agree is the price you pay on Lewisham bookings, with 42% owner-occupation locally.
All three. With 33% of Catford privately rented and 42% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE6 — and The Catford Cat a few streets away, with 33% one-person households here.
The Catford Cat is the marker we route to on SE6 jobs, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, and south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. A SE6 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Catford (Southeastern), with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
