How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Blackheath
Five steps, the same on every SE3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Blackheath gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Blackheath customers book us
What follows is specific to Blackheath: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
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. Blackheath (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Blackheath walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 64% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Blackheath actually produces in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SE3, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 2,884 households inside the SE3 neighbourhood.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
House and flat clearance prices in Blackheath
Fixed prices for SE3 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Blackheath
The same scope across SE3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed — including house and flat clearance
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- On SE3 jobs: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, with 64% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Blackheath: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, the way it is done on Blackheath jobs
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, outside the fixed price on Blackheath bookings
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE3
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead

Blackheath SE3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Blackheath — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts Blackheath at 2,884 households with a median age of 39.6. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 36% houses and 64% flats need different handling in SE3.
Owner-occupation runs at 51% in Blackheath, so alongside the 32% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 64% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Blackheath actually produces behind the plaster in SE3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SE3, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 2,884 households inside the SE3 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Blackheath knows the pattern near Blackheath and the Paragon: the heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass. We plan the SE3 visit around it. Blackheath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. Blackheath (Southeastern) 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.

Common questions
House and flat clearance in Blackheath SE3 — your questions.
How much does house and flat clearance cost in Blackheath SE3?
Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Blackheath on this side of Greenwich, with 51% owner-occupation locally, 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 around Blackheath (Southeastern), with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
What does a full flat clearance cost in Blackheath SE3?
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 on SE3 jobs, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood. With 64% of Blackheath homes being flats, most local jobs land in that band once wardrobes and bed bases are broken down around Blackheath (Southeastern), with 2,884 households on this patch.
Do you handle probate clearances in Greenwich?

Can you clear a house with a loft and garage in Blackheath?
Yes. 36% of homes here are houses, with 36% one-person households here, 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 on this side of Greenwich — and 36% of Blackheath homes being houses.
Will you need a permit or bay suspension in SE3?
Where Royal Borough of Greenwich controls the frontage, yes for Blackheath (SE3) addresses. We arrange the suspension and show it as its own line in the quote in Blackheath. 51% of Blackheath homes are owner-occupied, with this being a short walk from Blackheath (Southeastern), and completion-day clears are exactly where an unbooked bay costs a whole morning around Blackheath (Southeastern).
Do letting agents in Blackheath accept your paperwork?
Yes — every clear ends with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date across SE3, with 17% social-rented stock nearby. It matters here: 32% of local homes are privately rented and agents ask for it at check-out on this side of Greenwich, with 36% of Blackheath homes being houses.
Is same-day or evening house and flat clearance available in Greenwich?
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates in Blackheath, with 32% of SE3 homes being privately rented. Blackheath sits close to Blackheath (Southeastern), with Blackheath and the Paragon a few streets away, so we can usually add a SE3 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice around Blackheath (Southeastern).
