Overview
House and flat clearance in Earl's Court SW5, explained
House and flat clearance in Earl's Court SW5 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 3,241 households sit inside this SW5 patch, 97% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment rather than a London average.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Earl's Court
Five steps, the same on every SW5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Earl's Court stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment 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 Earl's Court customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Earl's Court wall.
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. Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a SW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Earl's Court walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Earl's Court, often with surface conduit — which is what a 97% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Earl's Court actually produces in SW5, 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 on these streets — which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Earl's Court
Fixed prices for SW5 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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 Earl's Court
The same scope across SW5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW5 jobs: full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed, with 97% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Earl's Court: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, the way it is done on Earl's Court jobs
- Documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned — including local house and flat clearance
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, arranged with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea or a specialist contractor instead
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, and we will say so before the SW5 visit rather than on the day
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, outside the fixed price on Earl's Court bookings

Earl's Court SW5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Earl's Court — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts Earl's Court at 3,241 households with a median age of 35.6. The period conversion stock is renter-heavy, which is why 3% houses and 97% flats need different handling in SW5.
Private renting sits at 44% and owner-occupation at 25%; the first group books house and flat clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Earl's Court, often with surface conduit — which is what a 97% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Earl's Court actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Earl's Court is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Earl's Court knows the pattern near The Earl's Court exhibition site redevelopment: tall stucco terraces of flats and short lets around the former exhibition site. We plan the SW5 visit around it. Earl's Court sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: dense short-let turnover, permit bays and five flights of communal stairs with no lift. Earl's Court (District, Piccadilly) 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.
