Lewisham · SE12 · House and flat clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Lee fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for house and flat clearance in Lee SE12? We work in Lee most weeks — manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses — and price house and flat clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £280, insured crews, set-aside items kept, broom-clean at hand-back.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Lee, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 39% of Lee's 6,151 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE12 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Lee (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and with 27% one-person households in Lee, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Lee stock goes, a median age of 38 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. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.
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 Lee
Lee SE12 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 39% of homes here are flats and 60% are houses, across 6,151 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (60% owned, 22% privately rented) means a SE12 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and with 27% one-person households in Lee, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Lee is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Lee stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Lee 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 — manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses — which is why a SE12 quote is not a Lewisham average.
On access, driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays — one reason a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Fitters travelling in use Lee (Southeastern).

Yes. 60% of homes here are houses, with 39% of homes here being flats — and 6,151 households on this patch, 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 in Lee.

We arrange the suspension and show it as its own line in the quote on SE12 jobs. 60% of Lee homes are owner-occupied, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, and completion-day clears are exactly where an unbooked bay costs a whole morning on the streets near The Manor House and its gardens.

A SE12 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 39% flats neighbourhood, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
