This page prices house and flat clearance for Chalk Farm NW3 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 28% privately rented and 3,654 households in total. Work starts at £280, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Chalk Farm
Five steps, the same on every NW3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Chalk Farm gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, where 25% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Chalk Farm customers book us
Four things decide whether a NW3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Chalk Farm (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Chalk Farm walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in NW3, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 36% one-person households in Chalk Farm, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
House and flat clearance prices in Chalk Farm
Fixed prices for NW3 and the rest of Camden. 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 Chalk Farm
The same scope across NW3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed — including local house and flat clearance
- Standard on Camden bookings: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, arranged with London Borough of Camden where the kerb needs it
- On NW3 jobs: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, with 88% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Chalk Farm: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, the way it is done on Chalk Farm jobs
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, and we will say so before the NW3 visit rather than on the day
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, outside the fixed price on Chalk Farm bookings
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, which we refer on to the right trade in Chalk Farm
