Overview
House and flat clearance in Coulsdon CR5, explained
This page prices house and flat clearance for Coulsdon CR5 specifically: inter-war stock, 12% privately rented and 6,754 households in total. Work starts at £280, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Croydon permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Coulsdon
Five steps, the same on every CR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — the pattern behind 6,754 households inside the CR5 neighbourhood 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 Coulsdon customers book us
What follows is specific to Coulsdon: its walls, its access and the paperwork Croydon agents ask for.
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. Steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street.
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. Coulsdon South (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Coulsdon walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in CR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
House and flat clearance prices in Coulsdon
Fixed prices for CR5 and the rest of Croydon. 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 Coulsdon
The same scope across CR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Croydon bookings: full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed, allowing for the 12% of CR5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, noted on the Coulsdon job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Coulsdon: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, timed against the walk in from Coulsdon South (Southern)
- On CR5 jobs: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, agreed on the doorstep in Coulsdon before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, quoted separately if you need it arranged in CR5
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, outside the fixed price on Coulsdon bookings
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead

Coulsdon CR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Coulsdon — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
Coulsdon CR5 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 22% of homes here are flats and 78% are houses, across 6,754 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (74% owned, 12% privately rented) means a CR5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Coulsdon substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a CR5 customer twice.
Downland village on the North Downs edge, with Farthing Downs above the town. That character decides the practical detail of house and flat clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Coulsdon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street — 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 Coulsdon South (Southern).

Common questions
House and flat clearance in Coulsdon CR5 — your questions.
How much does house and flat clearance cost in Coulsdon CR5?
Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Coulsdon around Coulsdon South (Southern), with 6,754 households on this patch, 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 for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses, with Croydon parking rules in play.
What does a full flat clearance cost in Coulsdon CR5?
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 for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses, with 74% owner-occupation locally. With 22% of Coulsdon homes being flats, most local jobs land in that band once wardrobes and bed bases are broken down on the Coulsdon rounds, with this being a short walk from Coulsdon South (Southern).
Do you handle probate clearances in Croydon?
Yes — from £420, including a set-aside list. Paperwork, photographs and anything the executor flags is bagged separately and handed over in this 22% flats neighbourhood, with 6,754 households on this patch, with photos of each room before and after for the estate file. On Coulsdon jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Can you clear a house with a loft and garage in Coulsdon?
Yes. 78% of homes here are houses, with 74% owner-occupation locally, 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 around Coulsdon South (Southern) — and 26% one-person households here.
Will you need a permit or bay suspension in CR5?
Where London Borough of Croydon controls the frontage, yes across CR5. We arrange the suspension and show it as its own line in the quote on this side of Croydon. 74% of Coulsdon homes are owner-occupied, with 6,754 households on this patch, and completion-day clears are exactly where an unbooked bay costs a whole morning in this 22% flats neighbourhood.
Do letting agents in Coulsdon accept your paperwork?
Yes — every clear ends with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date on CR5 jobs, with 14% social-rented stock nearby. It matters here: 12% of local homes are privately rented and agents ask for it at check-out on the Coulsdon rounds, with 74% owner-occupation locally.
How quickly can you reach Coulsdon from your Croydon round?
Farthing Downs is the marker we route to in Coulsdon, with 12% of CR5 homes being privately rented, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. A CR5 slot added to an existing Croydon round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses, with this being a short walk from Coulsdon South (Southern).
