Overview
End of tenancy clearance in Deptford SE8, explained
End of tenancy clearance in Deptford SE8 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 7,370 households sit inside this SE8 patch, 83% of them flats, so we quote on access near Deptford Market Yard rather than a London average.
How it works
How end of tenancy clearance works in Deptford
Five steps, the same on every SE8 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Deptford stock goes, the reality on the streets around Deptford Market Yard 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 Deptford customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE8 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Deptford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Deptford walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Deptford, often with surface conduit — and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 33% one-person households in Deptford, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
End of tenancy clearance prices in Deptford
Fixed prices for SE8 and the rest of Lewisham. 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. |
