Overview
This page prices house and flat clearance for Crystal Palace SE19 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 27% privately rented and 4,203 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
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
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. Crystal Palace (Overground, Southern) is the nearest station, so a SE19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Crystal Palace (Overground, Southern) rather than assumed from a map in SE19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Crystal Palace gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. The steepest streets in south London, narrow triangle junctions and permit bays.
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 →

Working in Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace SE19 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 68% of homes here are flats and 32% are houses, across 4,203 households (ONS Census 2021).
The mixed-tenure mix here (50% owned, 27% privately rented) means a SE19 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Crystal Palace (Overground, Southern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Crystal Palace is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Crystal Palace gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Crystal Palace is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the park's dinosaurs, the transmitter and a triangle of independent shops on the hill — which is why a SE19 quote is not a Croydon average.
On access, the steepest streets in south London, narrow triangle junctions and permit bays — 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 Crystal Palace (Overground, Southern).
