Fixed prices

House and flat clearance prices in Southwark

Fixed prices for Southwark, agreed before the crew 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. Where the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages apply in Southwark, they are itemised rather than rolled into an hourly rate.
House and flat clearance price guide for Southwark
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 Southwark

Why Southwark is not a generic London job

The Shard and Tate Modern is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Southwark.

The housing stock

Southwark is built from riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the aylesbury, victorian terraces and dulwich's detached villas, and the mix changes street by street — Bermondsey (SE16), Camberwell (SE5) and Canada Water (SE16) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

London Borough of Southwark sets the constraint: riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the new kent road and cpzs from se1 to peckham. Locally that means railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays and hospital-area restrictions, narrow georgian streets and steep front steps. Part of Southwark sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

London Borough of Southwark rules

Using London Borough of Southwark's bulky collection is a legitimate option in Southwark; where it falls down is items over the size limit, same-week deadlines and anything from a communal area. Those are the jobs we pick up.

How the borough got this way

London's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s. That history is why Southwark property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Southwark

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bermondsey or Walworth.

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 Southwark booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Southwark 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 Southwark — your questions

  • How much does a house clearance cost in Southwark?

    Studio or one-bed flat starts at £280 in Southwark, 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Southwark postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SE1, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24 and SE5. On the ground that includes Bermondsey, Camberwell, Canada Water, Dulwich Village, East Dulwich and Elephant and Castle.

  • How quickly can you get to Southwark?

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

  • What about parking and permits in Southwark?

    Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Southwark and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

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

    Yes. Riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the Aylesbury, Victorian terraces and Dulwich's detached villas 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 Southwark?

    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 Southwark 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 Southwark 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 Southwark, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
