Lewisham · SE6 · House and flat clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Catford fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking house and flat clearance near The Catford Cat? South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £280 and are fixed before we travel. Doorframes and stair nosings are protected before wardrobes come out.
Overview
House and flat clearance in Catford SE6 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,981 households sit inside this SE6 patch, 62% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Catford Cat rather than a London average.
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
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
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 →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Catford
In Catford (SE6) the split is 62% flats to 38% houses over 6,981 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 33% of Catford is privately rented and 25% socially rented, a lot of SE6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops — which is why a SE6 quote is not a Lewisham average.
South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Nearest station is Catford (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.

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 for Catford (SE6) addresses, with Lewisham parking rules in play — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Catford SE6 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near The Catford Cat, with 62% of homes here being flats.
