Overview
Garage clearance in Nunhead SE15, explained

How it works
How garage clearance works in Nunhead
Five steps, the same on every SE15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Nunhead stock goes, the reality on the streets around Nunhead Cemetery 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 Nunhead customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE15 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Nunhead (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Nunhead walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Nunhead, often with surface conduit — and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE15, 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 — which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier with a separate route for household hazardous waste. Producer responsibility charges for tyres are shown on the quote rather than absorbed into a mixed rate.
Fixed prices
Garage clearance prices in Nunhead
Fixed prices for SE15 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 Nunhead
The same scope across SE15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE15 jobs: full sort of contents into keep, donate, recycle and dispose before anything leaves the garage, garage clearance prices included
- In Nunhead: scrap metal, old bikes and workable tools offered for reuse rather than tipped by default, sized for the steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station
- Broom-clean sweep of the garage floor once the last item is out, checked on every SE15 visit
- Standard on Southwark bookings: safe handling and separate routing of tyres, batteries and gas cylinders under producer responsibility rules, with 7,127 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SE15 jobs: photographic record of the emptied garage, useful for a sale, let or estate management sign-off, agreed on the doorstep in Nunhead before anything is unpacked
- In Nunhead: access booked in advance where the garage sits in a locked block or estate compound, timed against the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern)
Not included
- Removal of the garage door, roof or structure itself, which is a building works job, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE15
- Fuel in vehicle tanks or drums of liquid chemical, which needs a specialist hazardous waste carrier, which we refer on to the right trade in Nunhead
- Items belonging to a neighbour or a previous occupant where ownership has not been confirmed, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Asbestos garage roof sheeting, common on 1960s and 1970s estate lock-ups, which needs a licensed removal contractor, and we will say so before the SE15 visit rather than on the day

Nunhead SE15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Nunhead — the numbers that actually change a garage clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts Nunhead at 7,127 households with a median age of 35.1. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 42% houses and 58% flats need different handling in SE15.
Owner-occupation runs at 41% in Nunhead, so alongside the 20% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Nunhead substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Nunhead, often with surface conduit — and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. 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 — which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a SE15 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Nunhead knows the pattern near Nunhead Cemetery: cemetery, hill views and a quiet village green between Peckham and Brockley. We plan the SE15 visit around it. Nunhead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Nunhead (Southeastern), 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.

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across SE15, with this being a short walk from Nunhead (Southeastern). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Nunhead most weeks on this side of Southwark, with 41% owner-occupation locally.

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE15, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Nunhead doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Nunhead. With 58% of Nunhead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Nunhead (SE15) addresses, with 7,127 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
