Bexley · DA1 · House and flat clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Crayford fitters · Fixed written pricesCrayford DA1 is a regular stop on our Bexley round. The Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border, so house and flat clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £280, in writing, with insured crews, set-aside items kept, broom-clean at hand-back.
Overview
This page prices house and flat clearance for Crayford DA1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 16% privately rented and 9,135 households in total. Work starts at £280, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bexley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Video walk-through or a visit; we count rooms, lofts and outbuildings so the volume figure is real.
Step 2
You tell us what must be kept — paperwork, jewellery, photographs — and it is bagged separately and handed over.
Step 3
Furniture in good order goes to reuse partners; textiles, metal, WEEE and wood are split on the van.
Step 4
Everything is carried out, with flat-pack units broken down where a lift or stairwell will not take them whole.
Step 5
Broom-clean rooms, photos of the finished property and the waste transfer note by email.
Why choose us
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in DA1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — with 26% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Every house clearance is carried out under our upper-tier waste carrier registration, with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, the weight and the date.
A two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| 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
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Crayford
Walk Crayford from Crayford Greyhound Stadium outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 28% of the 9,135 households in DA1 live in flats, 72% in houses.
Private renting sits at 16% and owner-occupation at 57%; the first group books house and flat clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in DA1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — with 26% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Crayford: the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way — 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 Crayford (Southeastern).
