Overview
House and flat clearance in Streatham SW16, explained
House and flat clearance in Streatham SW16 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lambeth, most of them mainly Edwardian. 26,325 households sit inside this SW16 patch, 66% of them flats, so we quote on access near Streatham Common and the Rookery rather than a London average.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Streatham
Five steps, the same on every SW16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Streatham gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, the reality on the streets around Streatham Common and the Rookery 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 Streatham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Streatham 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. Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) is the nearest station, so a SW16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Streatham walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SW16, 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; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Streatham
Fixed prices for SW16 and the rest of Lambeth. 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 Streatham
The same scope across SW16, 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, noted on the Streatham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, allowing for the 35% of SW16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW16 jobs: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, agreed on the doorstep in Streatham before anything is unpacked
- In Streatham: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, timed against the walk in from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern)
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, and we will say so before the SW16 visit rather than on the day
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, outside the fixed price on Streatham bookings
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, which we refer on to the right trade in Streatham

Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in SW16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Streatham knows the pattern near Streatham Common and the Rookery: a two-mile high road, the common and the ice rink, with Edwardian streets either side.

Common questions
House and flat clearance in Streatham SW16 — your questions.
How much does house and flat clearance cost in Streatham SW16?
Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Streatham for Streatham (SW16) addresses, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, 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 Streatham (Thameslink, Southern), with Lambeth parking rules in play.
What does a full flat clearance cost in Streatham SW16?
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 across SW16, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory. With 66% of Streatham homes being flats, most local jobs land in that band once wardrobes and bed bases are broken down on this side of Lambeth, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Do you handle probate clearances in Lambeth?
Yes — from £420, including a set-aside list. Paperwork, photographs and anything the executor flags is bagged separately and handed over on SW16 jobs, with 30% one-person households here, with photos of each room before and after for the estate file.
Can you clear a house with a loft and garage in Streatham?
Yes. 34% of homes here are houses, with 66% of homes here being flats — and this being a short walk from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern), 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 Lambeth.
Will you need a permit or bay suspension in SW16?
Where London Borough of Lambeth controls the frontage, yes on the Streatham rounds. We arrange the suspension and show it as its own line in the quote on Lambeth bookings. 44% of Streatham homes are owner-occupied, with 26,325 households on this patch, and completion-day clears are exactly where an unbooked bay costs a whole morning in this 66% flats neighbourhood.
Do letting agents in Streatham accept your paperwork?
Yes — every clear ends with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date in Streatham, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. It matters here: 35% of local homes are privately rented and agents ask for it at check-out on this side of Lambeth, with 26,325 households on this patch.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW16?
Every house clearance is carried out under our upper-tier waste carrier registration around Streatham (Thameslink, Southern) — and 44% owner-occupation locally, with Streatham Common and the Rookery a few streets away, with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, the weight and the date. That paperwork is what most Lambeth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on SW16 jobs, with 34% of Streatham homes being houses.
