Southwark · SE5 · House and flat clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Camberwell fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking house and flat clearance near Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery? Hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £280 and are fixed before we travel. Doorframes and stair nosings are protected before wardrobes come out.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Denmark Hill, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 83% of Camberwell's 12,806 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Video walk-through or a visit; we count rooms, lofts and outbuildings so the volume figure is real.
Step 2
You tell us what must be kept — paperwork, jewellery, photographs — and it is bagged separately and handed over.
Step 3
Furniture in good order goes to reuse partners; textiles, metal, WEEE and wood are split on the van.
Step 4
Everything is carried out, with flat-pack units broken down where a lift or stairwell will not take them whole.
Step 5
Broom-clean rooms, photos of the finished property and the waste transfer note by email.
Why choose us
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Camberwell, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map in SE5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Camberwell stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.
A two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps.
Fixed prices
| 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
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Camberwell
In Camberwell (SE5) the split is 83% flats to 17% houses over 12,806 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 24% private renting against 31% owner-occupied, most SE5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Camberwell, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Camberwell is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Camberwell stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Camberwell sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — georgian Camberwell Grove, the art college and King's College Hospital — which is why a SE5 quote is not a Southwark average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps. Denmark Hill (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
