Croydon · CR8 · House and flat clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kenley fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking house and flat clearance near Kenley Aerodrome and Common? Very steep private drives, narrow lanes and limited turning space, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £280 and are fixed before we travel. Doorframes and stair nosings are protected before wardrobes come out.
Overview
This page prices house and flat clearance for Kenley CR8 specifically: post-war stock, 12% privately rented and 5,051 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. Kenley (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, the reality on the streets around Kenley Aerodrome and Common in CR8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kenley stock goes, which is what a 21% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kenley actually produces.
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. Very steep private drives, narrow lanes and limited turning space.
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 →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Kenley
Kenley CR8 is post-war and owner-occupier-led: 21% of homes here are flats and 79% are houses, across 5,051 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (76% owned, 12% privately rented) means a CR8 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Kenley substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, the reality on the streets around Kenley Aerodrome and Common. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kenley stock goes, which is what a 21% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kenley actually produces is the mistake that costs a CR8 customer twice.
Kenley 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 — airfield common, wooded valleys and large houses on steep plots — which is why a CR8 quote is not a Croydon average.
On access, very steep private drives, narrow lanes and limited turning space — 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 Kenley (Southern).

Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Kenley on the Kenley rounds, with 21% one-person households here, 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 in this 21% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood.

Around Kenley (Southern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
Where London Borough of Croydon controls the frontage, yes on Croydon bookings.
