Overview
House and flat clearance in Woolwich SE18, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Woolwich, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 63% of Woolwich's 13,241 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE18 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Woolwich
Five steps, the same on every SE18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE18, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Woolwich customers book us
What follows is specific to Woolwich: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
Crew sized to the job
A two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers.
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. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Woolwich walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 13,241 households inside the SE18 neighbourhood in SE18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry.
Fixed prices
House and flat clearance prices in Woolwich
Fixed prices for SE18 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. |

Probate clearance with valuation set-aside
£420 · By survey

Single room or garage clear

Scope
What's included in Woolwich
The same scope across SE18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Woolwich: full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed, sized for the royal arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers
- On SE18 jobs: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, house and flat clearance london included
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, with 13,241 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, checked on every SE18 visit
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE18
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, outside the fixed price on Woolwich bookings
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, and we will say so before the SE18 visit rather than on the day

This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

Woolwich SE18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Woolwich — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
13,241 households sit inside the SE18 neighbourhood covering Woolwich. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 63% of those homes are flats.
Because 25% of Woolwich is privately rented and 47% socially rented, a lot of SE18 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 13,241 households inside the SE18 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Woolwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Woolwich stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry.
The Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river. That character decides the practical detail of house and flat clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Woolwich 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: royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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 Woolwich SE18 — your questions.
How much does house and flat clearance cost in Woolwich SE18?
Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Woolwich on the streets near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry, with The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry a few streets away, 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 on the Woolwich rounds, with 31% one-person households here.
What does a full flat clearance cost in Woolwich SE18?
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 the streets near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory. With 63% of Woolwich homes being flats, most local jobs land in that band once wardrobes and bed bases are broken down for Woolwich (SE18) addresses, with 63% of homes here being flats.
Do you handle probate clearances in Greenwich?
In Woolwich, yes — from £420, including a set-aside list. Paperwork, photographs and anything the executor flags is bagged separately and handed over on this side of Greenwich, with 31% one-person households here, with photos of each room before and after for the estate file. Ask for it in writing before the SE18 visit and it is on the job sheet.
Can you clear a house with a loft and garage in Woolwich?
Yes. 37% of homes here are houses, with The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry a few streets away — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, 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 around Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR).
Will you need a permit or bay suspension in SE18?
Where Royal Borough of Greenwich controls the frontage, yes on Greenwich bookings. We arrange the suspension and show it as its own line in the quote on the Woolwich rounds. 28% of Woolwich homes are owner-occupied, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, and completion-day clears are exactly where an unbooked bay costs a whole morning for Woolwich (SE18) addresses.
Do letting agents in Woolwich accept your paperwork?
Yes — every clear ends with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date on the streets near The Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Ferry, with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR). It matters here: 25% of local homes are privately rented and agents ask for it at check-out for Woolwich (SE18) addresses, with 25% of SE18 homes being privately rented.
What is not included in house and flat clearance in Woolwich?
Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out; Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier; Deep cleaning after the clear across SE18, with 47% social-rented stock nearby — and 13,241 households on this patch, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Woolwich SE18 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Greenwich, with 37% of Woolwich homes being houses.
