Overview
Garage clearance in East Dulwich SE22, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around East Dulwich, garage clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £95. With 43% of East Dulwich's 3,337 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE22 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How garage clearance works in East Dulwich
Five steps, the same on every SE22 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — the pattern behind 3,337 households inside the SE22 neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Photos or a quick visit
Contents assessed by photo where possible, since a garage's volume is usually clear from a couple of wide shots rather than a full survey visit.
Step 2
Access confirmed
Block entry, communal gate codes or lock cutting arranged before the van is booked, so the crew is not stood outside a locked compound.
Step 3
Sort on site
Everything split into keep, donate, recycle and dispose as it comes out, rather than loaded as one mixed tip run.
Step 4
Hazardous items separated
Paint, oil, batteries and gas cylinders set aside for their own registered disposal route rather than mixed into the load.
Step 5
Sweep and photograph
Floor swept and photos sent the same day, ready for a sale particulars pack or an estate management file.
Why choose us
Why East Dulwich customers book us
What follows is specific to East Dulwich: its walls, its access and the paperwork Southwark agents ask for.
Crew sized to the job
Two operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents. Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.
Booked around your day
Two to three days as standard, next day where access to the block has already been confirmed by the resident or managing agent. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE22 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
East Dulwich walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is East Dulwich gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map.
Fixed prices
Garage clearance prices in East Dulwich
Fixed prices for SE22 and the rest of Southwark. Whether the garage was used for light storage or as a workshop. Timber, metal and old machinery take longer to sort and weigh more per load than boxed household items.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage, light contents | £95 | 45–60 min | A garage used for general storage rather than a workshop — boxes, a bike, garden tools and offcuts of timber. |
| Single garage, full workshop contents | £165 | 1–2 hrs | Heavier loads of timber, metal, old tools and a workbench take longer to sort and carry than boxed household storage. |
| Double garage or lock-up, full clear | £250 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | Roughly double the volume of a single garage, and estate lock-ups often need the block access arranged before the van can load. |
| Tyres, per item | £8 | Included | Tyres are charged separately at the tip gate under producer responsibility rules and cannot go in a mixed load without that charge applying. |
| Paint, oil and chemical disposal, per small load | £45 | By arrangement | Household hazardous waste needs a carrier registered for that stream and a separate route to a licensed facility, not the general clearance van. |
| Lock cutting or forced access, per garage | £35 | 15–20 min | Where the original key has been lost, which is common on older estate lock-up blocks, a locksmith-grade cutter and a replacement padlock are needed before the clear can start. |

Scope
What's included in East Dulwich
The same scope across SE22, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Southwark bookings: full sort of contents into keep, donate, recycle and dispose before anything leaves the garage, allowing for the 25% of SE22 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Scrap metal, old bikes and workable tools offered for reuse rather than tipped by default, noted on the East Dulwich job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In East Dulwich: broom-clean sweep of the garage floor once the last item is out, timed against the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink)
- On SE22 jobs: safe handling and separate routing of tyres, batteries and gas cylinders under producer responsibility rules, agreed on the doorstep in East Dulwich before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Southwark bookings: photographic record of the emptied garage, useful for a sale, let or estate management sign-off, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
- Access booked in advance where the garage sits in a locked block or estate compound — including garage clearance
Not included
- Removal of the garage door, roof or structure itself, which is a building works job, which we refer on to the right trade in East Dulwich
- Fuel in vehicle tanks or drums of liquid chemical, which needs a specialist hazardous waste carrier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE22
- Items belonging to a neighbour or a previous occupant where ownership has not been confirmed, and we will say so before the SE22 visit rather than on the day
- Asbestos garage roof sheeting, common on 1960s and 1970s estate lock-ups, which needs a licensed removal contractor, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead

East Dulwich SE22 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers East Dulwich — the numbers that actually change a garage clearance quote.
East Dulwich SE22 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 43% of homes here are flats and 57% are houses, across 3,337 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 25% private renting against 58% owner-occupied, most SE22 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in SE22. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why East Dulwich gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses. That character decides the practical detail of garage clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. East Dulwich sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. Nearest station is East Dulwich (Thameslink), and two operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents.
