London pricing

House clearance prices for London properties.

Priced by volume and by carry, quoted from photographs before we arrive. The London figures carry the booked tip slot, the higher inner-London gate fee and the crew size a walk-up demands.

  • Single room clearance

    £175 · 1–2 hrs

    Half load. Covers a booked disposal slot, which most inner-London recycling centres now require for trade loads.

  • Studio or one-bed flat

    £320 · 3–5 hrs

    One Luton load including ULEZ, and the Congestion Charge in the central boroughs.

  • Two-bed flat or small house

    £650 · 1 day

    Two loads plus a two-person carry — the London default is a flat above the ground floor with no lift.

  • Three-bed house

    £980 · 1–2 days

    Multi-load with a bay suspension booked in advance; boroughs typically want three to ten working days' notice.

  • Probate or hoarded property

    Surveyed · 2–4 days

    Sorted room by room with valuables set aside and documented, not shovelled into a van.

Domestic prices are the total you pay. Commercial and landlord invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%. ULEZ, the Congestion Charge where it applies, permits and bay suspensions are itemised in the written quote, never added afterwards.

Working in London

What makes a London house clearance different.

Four things change the shape of a clearance inside the M25 — the housing stock, the carry, the borough's disposal rules and the deadline you are working to.

The housing stock does the pricing

London has proportionally far more flats than any other UK region, and a large share are Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into two, three or four units. A first-floor Camden conversion has a half-turn staircase, a narrow original doorway and no lift — the wardrobe that came in flat has to leave in pieces.

At the other end, 1960s and 1970s tower blocks in Tower Hamlets, Southwark and Hackney have lifts but restrict their use to booked windows, and new-build blocks in Nine Elms and Stratford require a protected goods lift and a signed method statement before anything is moved.

Deadlines are set by someone else

Most London clearances are driven by a completion date, a tenancy end or an executor's timetable, and none of them move. We work backwards from your date, book the suspension early where one is needed, and stage the clearance across two days if a single day cannot be legally parked for.

For end-of-tenancy clearances we can hand straight over to an end of tenancy clean so the property goes from full to inventory-ready in one booking.

Borough disposal rules

Bulky waste collection is chargeable in most boroughs with a one to three week wait, so it rarely fits a completion date. Trade loads need a permitted site and, increasingly, a booked slot; several inner-London centres refuse trade waste altogether.

You receive a waste transfer note for every load. If waste is ever traced back to your address, that note is the document that proves it left with a registered carrier.

Probate, executors and valuables

Executor clearances are worked room by room with an agreed list of items to retain, photographs of anything of possible value, and paperwork, jewellery and documents set aside rather than bagged. We can hold the property keys with a signed receipt where the executor lives outside London.

Where items are to be sold, we will say plainly what has resale value locally and what does not, rather than offering a deduction against a price we invented.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

  • How much is a house clearance in London?

    A single room starts at £175, a studio or one-bed flat at £320, a two-bed at £650 and a three-bed house at £980. Prices are fixed from photographs before the day and include tip fees, ULEZ, the Congestion Charge where it applies and the waste transfer note.

  • Can you clear a flat with no lift?

    Yes, and it is the most common London job we do. The crew is sized for the carry rather than the volume, so a second-floor conversion gets two or three people. There is no separate stairs charge — it is inside the quoted load price.

  • Do you handle probate and executor clearances?

    Regularly. We work room by room against an agreed retain list, photograph anything of possible value, set aside documents and jewellery, and can hold keys against a signed receipt where the executor is not in London.

  • How much notice do you need to park outside?

    If a visitor permit will do, none — we buy one on the day. If the job needs a suspended bay, most London boroughs want between three and ten working days' notice, so tell us the address as early as you can and we book it at the council's own price.

  • What happens to the furniture?

    Anything sound is offered to London reuse charities and community projects first. What is left is separated on the van: WEEE, mattresses, metals and wood each go to the correct licensed route, which is how we keep landfill diversion above 90%.

  • Can you clear and clean on the same day?

    Yes, where the parking allows a single window. The usual pattern is clearance in the morning and an end of tenancy clean in the afternoon, which gets a rented flat from full to inventory-ready in one day.

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Mohamed and his colleague came to our home to give it a deep clean. We bought a new family home and wanted a good clean before we moved in. The clean is brilliant.
