Overview
House and flat clearance in Aldgate EC3, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Aldgate, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 98% of Aldgate's 4,914 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC3 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Aldgate
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC3, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Aldgate customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Aldgate wall.
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. Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking.
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. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Aldgate walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in EC3, 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 Aldgate stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
House and flat clearance prices in Aldgate
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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 Aldgate
The same scope across EC3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Aldgate: full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed, timed against the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan)
- On EC3 jobs: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, agreed on the doorstep in Aldgate before anything is unpacked
- Standard on City of London bookings: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, allowing for the 48% of EC3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, noted on the Aldgate job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, outside the fixed price on Aldgate bookings
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, and we will say so before the EC3 visit rather than on the day
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead

Aldgate EC3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Aldgate — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
4,914 households sit inside the EC3 neighbourhood covering Aldgate. The build is post-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 98% of those homes are flats.
Because 48% of Aldgate is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in EC3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Aldgate stock goes, and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Eastern edge of the Square Mile where office towers meet Whitechapel's high street. That character decides the practical detail of house and flat clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Aldgate sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. Nearest station is Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
