Lewisham · SE26 · End of tenancy clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Sydenham fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for end of tenancy clearance in Sydenham SE26? We work in Sydenham most weeks — a long high street on the hill where the Crystal Palace once stood nearby — 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 social-housing-led households around Sydenham, end of tenancy clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 64% of Sydenham's 9,790 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE26 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. Sydenham (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE26 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 31% one-person households in Sydenham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE26, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Sydenham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 64% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sydenham actually produces.
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. Steep hills, high-street loading windows and narrow side streets.
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 →

The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Sydenham
Sydenham SE26 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 64% of homes here are flats and 36% are houses, across 9,790 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 22% of Sydenham is privately rented and 33% socially rented, a lot of SE26 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, and with 31% one-person households in Sydenham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in SE26. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Sydenham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 64% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sydenham actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Sydenham 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 — a long high street on the hill where the Crystal Palace once stood nearby — which is why a SE26 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep hills, high-street loading windows and narrow side streets. Sydenham (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.

Studio or one-bed left items clear starts at £140 in Sydenham, with this being a short walk from Sydenham (Overground) — and 33% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Sydenham (SE26) addresses. A one-bed with a full house of abandoned furniture costs more than a three-bed left broom-clean on the streets near Sydenham Wells Park, with 33% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SE26 jobs, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Sydenham most weeks on the Sydenham rounds, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Sydenham Wells Park, with 36% of Sydenham homes being houses.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Sydenham (Overground). With 64% of Sydenham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 64% flats neighbourhood, with 36% of Sydenham homes being houses — and Sydenham Wells Park 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 on the Sydenham rounds — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with 45% owner-occupation locally, 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 Sydenham SE26 price you agree is the price you pay for Sydenham (SE26) addresses, with 9,790 households on this patch.
All three. With 22% of Sydenham privately rented and 45% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE26 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE26 — and 64% of homes here being flats, with 36% of Sydenham homes being houses.
Sydenham Wells Park is the marker we route to on SE26 jobs, with this being a short walk from Sydenham (Overground), and steep hills, high-street loading windows and narrow side streets. A SE26 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Sydenham (Overground), with 45% owner-occupation locally.
