Overview
House and flat clearance in Bellingham and Downham SE6, explained
House and flat clearance in Bellingham and Downham SE6 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them post-war. 3,351 households sit inside this SE6 patch, 32% of them flats, so we quote on access near Beckenham Place Park nearby rather than a London average.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Bellingham and Downham
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 3,351 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood 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 Bellingham and Downham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Bellingham and Downham wall.
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. Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a Luton.
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. Bellingham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Bellingham and Downham walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Bellingham and Downham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 45% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
House and flat clearance prices in Bellingham and Downham
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Bellingham and Downham
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed, allowing for the 22% of SE6 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, noted on the Bellingham and Downham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Bellingham and Downham: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, timed against the walk in from Bellingham (Southeastern)
- On SE6 jobs: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, agreed on the doorstep in Bellingham and Downham before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, which we refer on to the right trade in Bellingham and Downham
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, and we will say so before the SE6 visit rather than on the day

Bellingham and Downham SE6 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bellingham and Downham — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
In Bellingham and Downham (SE6) the split is 32% flats to 68% houses over 3,351 households, and the stock is post-war.
With 22% private renting against 45% owner-occupied, most SE6 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SE6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Bellingham and Downham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 45% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two large interwar cottage estates built by the LCC, with wide green verges. That character decides the practical detail of house and flat clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Bellingham and Downham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a Luton. Nearest station is Bellingham (Southeastern), and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.

Yes. 68% of homes here are houses, with 33% social-rented stock nearby, 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 Bellingham (Southeastern) — and 45% owner-occupation locally.
