Overview
House and flat clearance in Custom House E16, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Custom House, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 50% of Custom House's 3,330 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E16 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Custom House gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, where 26% 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 Custom House customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Custom House wall.
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. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Custom House, often with surface conduit — which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 26% one-person households in Custom House, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, 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 local house and flat clearance
- Standard on Newham bookings: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, arranged with London Borough of Newham where the kerb needs it
- On E16 jobs: documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, with 50% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Custom House: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, the way it is done on Custom House jobs
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead

Common questions
House and flat clearance in Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does house and flat clearance cost in Custom House E16?
Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Custom House on E16 jobs, with this being London Borough of Newham territory, 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 across E16, with Newham parking rules in play.
What does a full flat clearance cost in Custom House E16?
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 in Custom House, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses. With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, most local jobs land in that band once wardrobes and bed bases are broken down for Custom House (E16) addresses, with Newham parking rules in play.
Do you handle probate clearances in Newham?
For E16 bookings, yes — from £420, including a set-aside list. Paperwork, photographs and anything the executor flags is bagged separately and handed over in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Newham territory, with photos of each room before and after for the estate file. Around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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 Custom House?
Yes. 50% of homes here are houses, with 3,330 households on this patch — and this being London Borough of Newham territory, 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 Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
Will you need a permit or bay suspension in E16?
Where London Borough of Newham controls the frontage, yes on this side of Newham. We arrange the suspension and show it as its own line in the quote across E16. 26% of Custom House homes are owner-occupied, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented, and completion-day clears are exactly where an unbooked bay costs a whole morning on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock.
Do letting agents in Custom House accept your paperwork?
Yes — every clear ends with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, weight and date on the Custom House rounds, with this being London Borough of Newham territory. It matters here: 24% of local homes are privately rented and agents ask for it at check-out on E16 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Is same-day or evening house and flat clearance available in Newham?
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates on Newham bookings, with 3,330 households on this patch. Custom House sits close to Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) in this 50% flats neighbourhood — and 49% social-rented stock nearby, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a E16 job to an existing Newham round at short notice.
