Overview
House and flat clearance in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained
House and flat clearance in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 4,944 households sit inside this SW14 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Boat Race finishing post rather than a London average.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Mortlake and East Sheen
Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Mortlake and East Sheen stock goes, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us
What follows is specific to Mortlake and East Sheen: its walls, its access and the paperwork Richmond upon Thames agents ask for.
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. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — measured on the walk in from Mortlake (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Mortlake and East Sheen, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 32% one-person households in Mortlake and East Sheen, 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 Mortlake and East Sheen
Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 Mortlake and East Sheen
The same scope across SW14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW14 jobs: full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed, local house and flat clearance included
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, sized for the level-crossing delays, boat race day closures and permit bays on the terraces
- Documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, checked on every SW14 visit
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, with 4,944 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, and we will say so before the SW14 visit rather than on the day
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW14

Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Mortlake and East Sheen — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts Mortlake and East Sheen at 4,944 households with a median age of 39.3. The mainly Edwardian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 50% houses and 50% flats need different handling in SW14.
28% of households rent privately and 56% own, which is why house and flat clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — measured on the walk in from Mortlake (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Mortlake and East Sheen is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Mortlake and East Sheen, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 32% one-person households in Mortlake and East Sheen, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Anyone who knows Mortlake and East Sheen knows the pattern near The Boat Race finishing post: the Boat Race finish, the old brewery site and East Sheen's shopping parade. We plan the SW14 visit around it. Mortlake and East Sheen is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces — 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 Mortlake (South Western).
