Overview
End of tenancy clearance in Stepney E1, explained
This page prices end of tenancy clearance for Stepney E1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 26% privately rented and 6,862 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Tower Hamlets permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How end of tenancy clearance works in Stepney
Five steps, the same on every E1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Stepney stock goes, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Stepney customers book us
Four things decide whether a E1 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. Stepney Green (District, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a E1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Stepney walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E1, often with surface conduit — and with 29% one-person households in Stepney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in E1, 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 — measured on the walk in from Stepney Green (District, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Stepney
Fixed prices for E1 and the rest of Tower Hamlets. 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. |

Scope
What's included in Stepney
The same scope across E1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On E1 jobs: same-day and next-day slots that can be booked directly against a check-out appointment time, agreed on the doorstep in Stepney before anything is unpacked
- In Stepney: photographic record of the cleared property, timestamped for the landlord's or agent's file, timed against the walk in from Stepney Green (District, Hammersmith & City)
- Sorting of items left behind for donation, recycling or disposal, with a note of what went where, noted on the Stepney job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: removal of communal bin store and storage cupboard items included in the let, allowing for the 26% of E1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On E1 jobs: waste transfer note issued where the job is invoiced to a letting agent or managing company, end of tenancy clearance included
- In Stepney: coordination with the inventory clerk's check-out time so the property is empty for the walk-round, sized for the narrow terraced streets, estate parking permits and stair-only access in low-rise blocks
Not included
- The end of tenancy clean itself, quoted and booked separately unless taken as the combined package, handled by London Borough of Tower Hamlets or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural damage repair, redecoration or making good marks left by furniture, and we will say so before the E1 visit rather than on the day
- Items the outgoing tenant disputes ownership of, which we leave in place pending agreement, outside the fixed price on Stepney bookings
- Hazardous household waste such as old paint tins or gas canisters, booked as a separate collection, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E1

Stepney substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in E1, often with surface conduit — and with 29% one-person households in Stepney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Stepney Green (District, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a E1 customer twice.
