Overview
House and flat clearance in New Cross SE14, explained
House and flat clearance in New Cross SE14 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 11,771 households sit inside this SE14 patch, 73% of them flats, so we quote on access near Goldsmiths, University of London rather than a London average.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in New Cross
Five steps, the same on every SE14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New Cross gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, where 30% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 New Cross customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
New Cross walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 33% one-person households in New Cross, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE14, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 New Cross
Fixed prices for SE14 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 New Cross
The same scope across SE14, 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 — including house and flat clearance
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it
- On SE14 jobs: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, with 73% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In New Cross: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, the way it is done on New Cross jobs
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, and we will say so before the SE14 visit rather than on the day
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE14

New Cross SE14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers New Cross — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.

34% of households rent privately and 30% own, which is why house and flat clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 33% one-person households in New Cross, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in New Cross is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE14, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Anyone who knows New Cross knows the pattern near Goldsmiths, University of London: goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. We plan the SE14 visit around it. New Cross is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.

Common questions
House and flat clearance in New Cross SE14 — your questions.
How much does house and flat clearance cost in New Cross SE14?
Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in New Cross on this side of Lewisham, with 30% owner-occupation locally, 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 on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
What does a full flat clearance cost in New Cross SE14?
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 on the New Cross rounds, with Lewisham parking rules in play. With 73% of New Cross homes being flats, most local jobs land in that band once wardrobes and bed bases are broken down on SE14 jobs, with 73% of homes here being flats.
Do you handle probate clearances in Lewisham?
For SE14 bookings, yes — from £420, including a set-aside list. Paperwork, photographs and anything the executor flags is bagged separately and handed over in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with photos of each room before and after for the estate file. Around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
Can you clear a house with a loft and garage in New Cross?
Yes. 27% of homes here are houses, with 34% of SE14 homes being privately rented — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, 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 SE14 jobs.
Will you need a permit or bay suspension in SE14?
Where London Borough of Lewisham controls the frontage, yes on the New Cross rounds. We arrange the suspension and show it as its own line in the quote across SE14. 30% of New Cross homes are owner-occupied, with Lewisham parking rules in play, and completion-day clears are exactly where an unbooked bay costs a whole morning on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London.
Do letting agents in New Cross accept your paperwork?
Yes — every clear ends with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date on the New Cross rounds, with 73% of homes here being flats. It matters here: 34% of local homes are privately rented and agents ask for it at check-out on SE14 jobs, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Who books house and flat clearance in New Cross SE14 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 34% of New Cross privately rented and 30% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with 30% owner-occupation locally.
