Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local London Bridge and Bermondsey Street fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for house and flat clearance in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street SE1? We work in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street most weeks — the Shard, Borough Market and the Georgian shopfronts of Bermondsey Street — and price house and flat clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £280, insured crews, set-aside items kept, broom-clean at hand-back.
Overview
This page prices house and flat clearance for London Bridge and Bermondsey Street SE1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 29% privately rented and 4,532 households in total. Work starts at £280, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Southwark permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a SE1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 4,532 households inside the SE1 neighbourhood in SE1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is London Bridge and Bermondsey Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Market delivery windows before 09:00, railway-arch streets and booked goods lifts in the towers.
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.
