How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Finchley
Five steps, the same on every N3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In N3, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — and with 30% one-person households in Finchley, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Survey
Video walk-through or a visit; we count rooms, lofts and outbuildings so the volume figure is real.
Step 2
Set-aside list
You tell us what must be kept — paperwork, jewellery, photographs — and it is bagged separately and handed over.
Step 3
Sort for reuse
Furniture in good order goes to reuse partners; textiles, metal, WEEE and wood are split on the van.
Step 4
Clear and dismantle
Everything is carried out, with flat-pack units broken down where a lift or stairwell will not take them whole.
Step 5
Hand back
Broom-clean rooms, photos of the finished property and the waste transfer note by email.
Why choose us
Why Finchley customers book us
Four things decide whether a N3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
A two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Driveway parking on most streets; the North Circular junctions congest at peak.
Booked around your day
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. Finchley Central (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Finchley walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Finchley, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Finchley Central (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in N3, 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, as the Finchley stock goes, which is what a 56% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Finchley actually produces.
Fixed prices
House and flat clearance prices in Finchley
Fixed prices for N3 and the rest of Barnet. Volume first, then access. A second-floor flat with no lift, a shared stairwell or a permit-only frontage adds crew time to the same amount of furniture.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed flat | £280 | 2–3 hrs | Usually a half to three-quarter Luton load once wardrobes and a bed base are broken down. |
| Two-bed flat or maisonette | £450 | 3–5 hrs | Two bedrooms of furniture plus a kitchen strip typically fills one van and part of a second. |
| Three-bed house | £650 | 5–7 hrs | Loft, shed and garage contents are what push a three-bed past a single load. |
| Four-bed house or larger | £950 | 1 day | Two vans and three or four crew, with multiple transfer-station runs across the day. |
| Probate clearance with valuation set-aside | £420 | By survey | Paperwork, photographs and items set aside for the executor take time a straight clear does not. |
| Single room or garage clear | £160 | 1–2 hrs | Priced on the volume that leaves the property, so a packed garage costs more than an empty spare room. |

Scope
What's included in Finchley
The same scope across N3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Finchley: full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed, sized for the driveway parking on most streets; the north circular junctions congest at peak
- On N3 jobs: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, house and flat clearance included
- Standard on Barnet bookings: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, with 15,367 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, checked on every N3 visit
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, quoted separately if you need it arranged in N3
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, outside the fixed price on Finchley bookings
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, and we will say so before the N3 visit rather than on the day

This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

Finchley N3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Finchley — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
15,367 households sit inside the N3 neighbourhood covering Finchley. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 56% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (54% owned, 37% privately rented) means a N3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Finchley, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Finchley Central (Northern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Finchley is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Finchley stock goes, which is what a 56% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Finchley actually produces.
Suburban centre of 1930s semis, synagogues and a long shopping road. That character decides the practical detail of house and flat clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Finchley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveway parking on most streets; the North Circular junctions congest at peak — one reason a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Fitters travelling in use Finchley Central (Northern).

Common questions
House and flat clearance in Finchley N3 — your questions.
How much does house and flat clearance cost in Finchley N3?
Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Finchley for Finchley (N3) addresses, with Barnet parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume first, then access. A second-floor flat with no lift, a shared stairwell or a permit-only frontage adds crew time to the same amount of furniture around Finchley Central (Northern), with 15,367 households on this patch.
What does a full flat clearance cost in Finchley N3?
A studio or one-bed starts at £280 and a two-bed at £450, quoted from a video walk-through so the volume figure is real on the Finchley rounds, with 8% social-rented stock nearby. With 56% of Finchley homes being flats, most local jobs land in that band once wardrobes and bed bases are broken down on Barnet bookings, with 54% owner-occupation locally.
Do you handle probate clearances in Barnet?
Yes — from £420, including a set-aside list. Paperwork, photographs and anything the executor flags is bagged separately and handed over for Finchley (N3) addresses, with 15,367 households on this patch, with photos of each room before and after for the estate file.
Can you clear a house with a loft and garage in Finchley?
Yes. 44% of homes here are houses, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Finchley Central (Northern), and lofts, sheds and garages are the contents that push a three-bed past a single Luton — we survey them up front so the price does not move on the day on Barnet bookings.
Will you need a permit or bay suspension in N3?
Where London Borough of Barnet controls the frontage, yes on the Finchley rounds. We arrange the suspension and show it as its own line in the quote for Finchley (N3) addresses. 54% of Finchley homes are owner-occupied, with 56% of homes here being flats, and completion-day clears are exactly where an unbooked bay costs a whole morning in this 56% flats neighbourhood.
Do letting agents in Finchley accept your paperwork?
Yes — every clear ends with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date in Finchley, with 15,367 households on this patch. It matters here: 37% of local homes are privately rented and agents ask for it at check-out on N3 jobs, with 30% one-person households here.
Do you handle difficult access in Finchley?
Driveway parking on most streets; the North Circular junctions congest at peak in Finchley. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Barnet it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards for Finchley (N3) addresses — and 8% social-rented stock nearby, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood.
