Croydon · CR7 · House and flat clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Thornton Heath fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for house and flat clearance in Thornton Heath CR7? We work in Thornton Heath most weeks — a busy high street, the pond junction and Selhurst Park's match-day crowds — and price house and flat clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £280, insured crews, set-aside items kept, broom-clean at hand-back.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Thornton Heath, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 38% of Thornton Heath's 12,862 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR7 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Thornton Heath (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, the reality on the streets around Selhurst Park in CR7, 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 Thornton Heath stock goes, 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. Match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets.
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 →

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 Thornton Heath
Thornton Heath CR7 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 38% of homes here are flats and 62% are houses, across 12,862 households (ONS Census 2021).
The mixed-tenure mix here (54% owned, 31% privately rented) means a CR7 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Thornton Heath substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, the reality on the streets around Selhurst Park. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Thornton Heath stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a CR7 customer twice.
Thornton Heath 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 — a busy high street, the pond junction and Selhurst Park's match-day crowds — which is why a CR7 quote is not a Croydon average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets. Thornton Heath (Southern) is the nearest station, and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
