Southwark · SE16 · End of tenancy clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Surrey Quays fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking end of tenancy clearance near Greenland Dock? Wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £140 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Surrey Quays, end of tenancy clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 76% of Surrey Quays's 4,588 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. Surrey Quays (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, and with 41% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Surrey Quays gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, measured on the walk in from Surrey Quays (Overground) rather than assumed from a map.
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. Wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots.
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.

Working in Surrey Quays

Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 41% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Surrey Quays is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Surrey Quays gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, measured on the walk in from Surrey Quays (Overground) rather than assumed from a map.
Surrey Quays 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 — retail park, Greenland Dock moorings and quiet dockland streets — which is why a SE16 quote is not a Southwark average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots. Surrey Quays (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.
