Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Plumstead, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 33% of Plumstead's 9,964 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE18 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
We expect solid London stock brick in Plumstead, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Plumstead Common in SE18, 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 on these streets — with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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 hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station.
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. Plumstead (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 Plumstead
Census 2021 puts Plumstead at 9,964 households with a median age of 35.6. The mainly Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 67% houses and 33% flats need different handling in SE18.
32% of households rent privately and 41% own, which is why house and flat clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Plumstead substrates run to solid London stock brick in Plumstead, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Plumstead Common. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a SE18 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Plumstead: terraced streets climbing steeply from the high street to the common. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Plumstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Plumstead (Elizabeth line), and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
