House and flat clearance prices in Merton

What a house clearance costs in Merton. 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. The borough-specific additions here come from ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access.
House and flat clearance price guide for Merton
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or one-bed flat£2802–3 hrsUsually a half to three-quarter Luton load once wardrobes and a bed base are broken down.
Two-bed flat or maisonette£4503–5 hrsTwo bedrooms of furniture plus a kitchen strip typically fills one van and part of a second.
Three-bed house£6505–7 hrsLoft, shed and garage contents are what push a three-bed past a single load.
Four-bed house or larger£9501 dayTwo vans and three or four crew, with multiple transfer-station runs across the day.
Probate clearance with valuation set-aside£420By surveyPaperwork, photographs and items set aside for the executor take time a straight clear does not.
Single room or garage clear£1601–2 hrsPriced on the volume that leaves the property, so a packed garage costs more than an empty spare room.

Prices are for the total volume cleared, agreed before we start. Landlord, executor and letting-agent invoices are issued plus VAT at 20% with the waste transfer note attached. Permits, bay suspensions, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge, where they apply, appear as separate lines in the quote.

Working in Merton

Why Merton is not a generic London job

The All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Merton.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Merton is edwardian villas in wimbledon, 1930s semis in raynes park and morden, and estates around mitcham, and the mix changes street by street — Colliers Wood (SW19), Mitcham (CR4) and Morden (SM4) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

London Borough of Merton sets the constraint: championship-fortnight restrictions in sw19, hill access to wimbledon village, and driveways common further out. Locally that means high street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts and tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. Merton sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Merton rules

London Borough of Merton runs its own bulky-waste collection and reuse and recycling centres, and residents can use them — but the wait, the size limits and the trips are why most people call a licensed carrier instead. Ours issues the transfer note that keeps the liability off you.

How the borough got this way

Why it looks like this: merton priory and wandle mills gave way to victorian and interwar suburbs once the railway reached wimbledon in 1838.

Scope

What's included in Merton

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Colliers Wood or Wimbledon Park.

Included in the price

  • Full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed
  • Dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts
  • Documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned
  • Broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note

Not included

  • 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, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean

Method

How a Merton booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Merton job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. Step 1

    Survey

    Video walk-through or a visit; we count rooms, lofts and outbuildings so the volume figure is real.

  2. Step 2

    Set-aside list

    You tell us what must be kept — paperwork, jewellery, photographs — and it is bagged separately and handed over.

  3. Step 3

    Sort for reuse

    Furniture in good order goes to reuse partners; textiles, metal, WEEE and wood are split on the van.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Hand back

    Broom-clean rooms, photos of the finished property and the waste transfer note by email.

Local questions

House and flat clearance in Merton — your questions

  • How much does a house clearance cost in Merton?

    Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Merton, and the ladder runs up to £160 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Merton postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: CR4, SM4, SW19 and SW20. On the ground that includes Colliers Wood, Mitcham, Morden, Raynes Park, Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park.

  • How quickly can you get to Merton?

    Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Merton?

    Championship-fortnight restrictions in SW19, hill access to Wimbledon Village, and driveways common further out. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Merton and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Merton flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Edwardian villas in Wimbledon, 1930s semis in Raynes Park and Morden, and estates around Mitcham is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Merton?

    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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Merton tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    A two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Merton postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 and Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean. If something on that list turns up in Merton, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
