Southwark · SE16 · End of tenancy clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Rotherhithe fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for end of tenancy clearance in Rotherhithe SE16? We work in Rotherhithe most weeks — river peninsula of dock basins, the Mayflower pub and 1980s dockland housing — 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 renter-heavy households around Rotherhithe, end of tenancy clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 66% of Rotherhithe's 3,735 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE16 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. Rotherhithe (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 19% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Rotherhithe stock goes, and with 41% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Peninsula road loops, tunnel approach restrictions and gated riverside estates.
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 →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
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 Rotherhithe
Rotherhithe SE16 is recent new-build and renter-heavy: 66% of homes here are flats and 34% are houses, across 3,735 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 41% private renting against 40% owner-occupied, most SE16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Rotherhithe substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 19% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Rotherhithe stock goes, and with 41% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a SE16 customer twice.
Rotherhithe sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — river peninsula of dock basins, the Mayflower pub and 1980s dockland housing — which is why a SE16 quote is not a Southwark average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: peninsula road loops, tunnel approach restrictions and gated riverside estates. Rotherhithe (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 Rotherhithe on the Rotherhithe rounds — and Southwark parking rules in play, with 19% 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 on SE16 jobs. A one-bed with a full house of abandoned furniture costs more than a three-bed left broom-clean in this 66% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Rotherhithe (Overground), with this being a short walk from Rotherhithe (Overground). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Rotherhithe most weeks in this 66% flats neighbourhood, with 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SE16 jobs, with 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SE16 jobs. With 66% of Rotherhithe homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Rotherhithe rounds, with 40% owner-occupation locally — and 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented, 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 for Rotherhithe (SE16) addresses, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory — and The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower a few streets away, 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 Rotherhithe SE16 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 41% of Rotherhithe privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower — and 66% of homes here being flats, with 19% social-rented stock nearby.
The Brunel Museum and the Mayflower is the marker we route to on the Rotherhithe rounds, with 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented, and peninsula road loops, tunnel approach restrictions and gated riverside estates. A SE16 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SE16 jobs, with this being a short walk from Rotherhithe (Overground).
