Overview
House and flat clearance in Herne Hill SE24, explained
House and flat clearance in Herne Hill SE24 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Southwark, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,150 households sit inside this SE24 patch, 27% of them flats, so we quote on access near Brockwell Park and Lido rather than a London average.
How it works
How house and flat clearance works in Herne Hill
Five steps, the same on every SE24 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Herne Hill stock goes, the reality on the streets around Brockwell Park and Lido 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 Herne Hill customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE24 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE24 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Herne Hill walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in Herne Hill, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE24, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Herne Hill
Fixed prices for SE24 and the rest of Southwark. 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 Herne Hill
The same scope across SE24, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE24 jobs: full property clear — lofts, cellars, sheds, garages and gardens included when surveyed, agreed on the doorstep in Herne Hill before anything is unpacked
- In Herne Hill: dismantling of wardrobes, beds and units so they fit through London doorways and lifts, timed against the walk in from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern)
- Documents, photographs and anything you flag set aside rather than binned, noted on the Herne Hill job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Southwark bookings: broom-clean finish and a same-day waste transfer note, allowing for the 19% of SE24 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out, and we will say so before the SE24 visit rather than on the day
- Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier, outside the fixed price on Herne Hill bookings
- Deep cleaning after the clear, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE24

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Herne Hill — the numbers that actually change a house and flat clearance quote.
The SE24 stock around Brockwell Park and Lido is mainly Victorian. ONS records 27% flats, 73% houses and 3,150 households in Herne Hill.
Owner-occupation runs at 69% in Herne Hill, so alongside the 19% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Herne Hill substrates run to solid London stock brick in Herne Hill, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE24 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Herne Hill knows the pattern near Brockwell Park and Lido: brockwell Park, the velodrome and a compact village of independents. We plan the SE24 visit around it. Herne Hill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets. Nearest station is Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern), and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.

Can you clear a house with a loft and garage in Herne Hill?
Yes. 73% of homes here are houses, with 20% one-person households here, 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 Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) — and 19% of SE24 homes being privately rented.

It matters here: 19% of local homes are privately rented and agents ask for it at check-out on the streets near Brockwell Park and Lido, with 20% one-person households here.
