Fixed prices

House and flat clearance prices in City of London

Fixed prices for City of London, agreed before the crew 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. Where the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages apply in City of London, they are itemised rather than rolled into an hourly rate.
House and flat clearance price guide for City of London
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or one-bed flat£2802–3 hrsUsually a half to three-quarter Luton load once wardrobes and a bed base are broken down.
Two-bed flat or maisonette£4503–5 hrsTwo bedrooms of furniture plus a kitchen strip typically fills one van and part of a second.
Three-bed house£6505–7 hrsLoft, shed and garage contents are what push a three-bed past a single load.
Four-bed house or larger£9501 dayTwo vans and three or four crew, with multiple transfer-station runs across the day.
Probate clearance with valuation set-aside£420By surveyPaperwork, photographs and items set aside for the executor take time a straight clear does not.
Single room or garage clear£1601–2 hrsPriced on the volume that leaves the property, so a packed garage costs more than an empty spare room.

Prices are for the total volume cleared, agreed before we start. Landlord, executor and letting-agent invoices are issued plus VAT at 20% with the waste transfer note attached. Permits, bay suspensions, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge, where they apply, appear as separate lines in the quote.

Working in City of London

Why City of London is not a generic London job

St Paul's Cathedral is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in City of London.

The housing stock

City of London is built from barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks, and the mix changes street by street — Aldgate (EC3), Bank and Cornhill (EC3) and Barbican (EC2) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

City of London Corporation sets the constraint: congestion charge and ulez, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Locally that means aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking and bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

City of London Corporation rules

Using City of London Corporation's bulky collection is a legitimate option in City of London; where it falls down is items over the size limit, same-week deadlines and anything from a communal area. Those are the jobs we pick up.

How the borough got this way

Roman Londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the Blitz, now layered with towers around Bishopsgate. That history is why City of London property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in City of London

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Aldgate or St Paul's.

Included in the price

  • Full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed
  • Dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts
  • Documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned
  • Broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note

Not included

  • Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out
  • Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier
  • Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean

Local questions

House and flat clearance in City of London — your questions

  • How much does a house clearance cost in City of London?

    Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in City of London, and the ladder runs up to £160 for the largest job on the table above. 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. 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 City of London postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: E1, EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4. On the ground that includes Aldgate, Bank and Cornhill, Barbican, Blackfriars, Clerkenwell and Farringdon.

  • How quickly can you get to City of London?

    Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. 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 City of London?

    Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with City of London Corporation and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in City of London flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks 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 City of London?

    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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what City of London Corporation tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    A two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every City of London postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier and Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean. If something on that list turns up in City of London, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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

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.

Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
