Loft and attic clearance in Kensington and Chelsea

We work in Kensington and Chelsea every week — the densest borough in the country — white stucco crescents, museum quarter and the portobello and world's end ends. Loft and attic clearance is priced against that reality, not a national average.

Fixed prices

Loft and attic clearance prices in Kensington and Chelsea

What a loft clearance costs in Kensington and Chelsea. Hatch size and joist boarding more than the volume of what is stored. A small hatch or bare joists can double the carry time of an otherwise light clearance. The borough-specific additions here come from the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages.
Loft and attic clearance price guide for Kensington and Chelsea
JobFromWhat sets the price
Partial loft clear, boxes and light storage£110Items passed down through the hatch by hand, which is why loft work is priced by carry time rather than by volume alone.
Full loft clearance, standard hatchQuoted per job — free quoteA full clear of a standard loft, including anything wedged between joists or pushed to the eaves where crawling is needed.
Restricted hatch or no boarding, full clear£240A small hatch or unboarded joists slows the carry considerably and needs crawl boards laid before anyone can move safely between the trusses.
Cold water tank removal£85Tanks are drained, disconnected and lowered in sections through the hatch, which is plumbing-adjacent work rather than a straightforward carry.
Disturbed loose-fill insulation, bagged and removed£120Loose-fill insulation has to be bagged as it is disturbed to stop it drifting through the house, and disposed of separately from general waste.
Suspected asbestos material, survey and quote onlyQuoted per job — free quoteAny suspected asbestos board, lagging or Artex is left untouched and referred to a licensed specialist for testing before a price can be given.

Domestic prices are what you pay, with no VAT to add. Where a landlord's agent needs the job invoiced to a managing company, that invoice is issued plus VAT at 20%. Ladder access, tank removal and any suspected asbestos are quoted as separate lines and confirmed before work starts.

Working in Kensington and Chelsea

Why Kensington and Chelsea is not a generic London job

The Natural History Museum and Notting Hill's Portobello Road is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Kensington and Chelsea.

The housing stock

Kensington and Chelsea is built from stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates, and the mix changes street by street — Bayswater (W2), Chelsea (SW3) and Earl's Court (SW5) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: some of the tightest cpzs in london, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Locally that means hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups and cadogan estate parking rules, king's road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea rules

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea does not send a bulky waste crew up a loft ladder in Kensington and Chelsea, and most household collections are not equipped for insulation, water tank removal or anything requiring two people passing items down through a hatch. That work needs a crew carrying its own ladder, dust sheets and bagging for loose-fill insulation, priced as a loft job rather than a standard collection.

How the borough got this way

Why it looks like this: market gardens turned into the great exhibition's albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the victorian wealthy.

Scope

What's included in Kensington and Chelsea

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bayswater or Westbourne Park.

Included in the price

  • A second operative on the ground floor for every job, so nothing is carried down a ladder alone
  • Crawl boards laid over unboarded joists before anyone moves between the trusses
  • Sorting of loft contents into keep, donate, recycle and dispose as items come down through the hatch
  • Safe bagging and removal of loose-fill insulation disturbed during the clear

Not included

  • Testing or removal of suspected asbestos-containing material, referred to a licensed specialist
  • Loft boarding, insulation top-up or any building works following the clearance
  • Pest control treatment where an active infestation is found, referred to a specialist rather than disturbed

Local questions

Loft and attic clearance in Kensington and Chelsea — your questions

  • How much does a loft clearance cost in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Partial loft clear, boxes and light storage starts at £110 in Kensington and Chelsea, and the ladder runs up to On inspection for the largest job on the table above. Hatch size and joist boarding more than the volume of what is stored. A small hatch or bare joists can double the carry time of an otherwise light clearance. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Kensington and Chelsea postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SW10, SW3, SW5, SW7, W10, W11, W14, W2 and W8. On the ground that includes Bayswater, Chelsea, Earl's Court, Holland Park, Kensington and Ladbroke Grove.

  • How quickly can you get to Kensington and Chelsea?

    Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Some of the tightest CPZs in London, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Kensington and Chelsea flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the Lancaster West and World's End estates is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Registered waste carrier. Loose-fill insulation and any tank contents are bagged and disposed of separately from general household waste. Suspected asbestos is never disturbed — it is referred to a licensed testing specialist. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    Two operatives as standard, one in the loft and one on the ladder and ground floor, which is how a loft clear stays safe rather than a one-person job with a rope and a prayer. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Kensington and Chelsea postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    Testing or removal of suspected asbestos-containing material, referred to a licensed specialist, Loft boarding, insulation top-up or any building works following the clearance and Pest control treatment where an active infestation is found, referred to a specialist rather than disturbed. If something on that list turns up in Kensington and Chelsea, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
