Overview

How it works
Step 1
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
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
Everything split into keep, donate, recycle and dispose as it comes out, rather than loaded as one mixed tip run.
Step 4
Paint, oil, batteries and gas cylinders set aside for their own registered disposal route rather than mixed into the load.
Step 5
Floor swept and photos sent the same day, ready for a sale particulars pack or an estate management file.
Why choose us
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. Mansion blocks with small lifts and porters, resident bays all week and narrow canal-side roads.
Two to three days as standard, next day where access to the block has already been confirmed by the resident or managing agent. Maida Vale (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, so a W9 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 35% one-person households in Maida Vale, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W9, 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 on these streets — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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
| 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. |
