What's included in a Beckenham house clearance?
A Beckenham house clearance from RLE Waste Clearance includes two people to carry everything out and down any stairs, the loading time for that load size, the drive away and disposal. You pay for the space your things take up across 13 load sizes, and fridges, TVs and mattresses are charged on top, as listed under extra items.
A one-bed flat's furniture is roughly half a truck, a two-bed flat around three quarters, and a family house near Kelsey Park or Eden Park can fill a full truck or more. Bags, flat-pack furniture and whatever's been left in the bin store all go in the same load. Send photos of each room, which floor it's on and your BR3 postcode on WhatsApp, and the price is confirmed before work starts, with no obligation.

What does it cost to clear a rented flat in Beckenham town centre?
Clearing a rented flat in Beckenham town centre usually costs between a minimum load at £60 plus VAT, for a few bags and a broken chair, and about three quarters of a truck at £260 plus VAT for a furnished two-bed. Beckenham Town & Copers Cope ward has 8,020 households, and 60.4% of them live in purpose-built flats. A third rent privately, 2,674 households in the 2021 Census (external site), so tenancies change hands often and the flat has to be cleared between them.
| Home | Rough load size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| A spare bedroom | About a quarter truck | £130 plus VAT |
| The furniture from a one-bed flat | About half a truck | £180 plus VAT |
| A two-bed flat | About three quarters of a truck | £260 plus VAT |
| A three-bed house | A full truck or more | £360 plus VAT |
Any fridge or TV is charged on top of the load. A two-bed flat's contents would take many car trips, and the truck takes it all in one visit. If the keys are with the agent or in a key safe and it's clear what goes, nobody needs to be there, and you get a waste transfer note and a receipt on completion. Landlords can check our waste carrier number, CBDU175566, on the gov.uk waste carrier search (external site). More on clearing flats anywhere we work is on flat clearance.
How do shared stairs in Clock House conversions affect a clearance?
Shared stairs in Clock House conversions mostly affect the carrying time, and that's built into every load, from 15 minutes for a quarter truck to 60 minutes for a full one. Clock House ward has 1,058 households (external site) living in converted or shared houses, 14.2% of the total. They're mostly Victorian and Edwardian houses split into flats, with a narrow shared staircase, a communal hallway and no lift.
A top-floor flat with tight turns can take longer. Tell us the floor and send a photo of the stairs, so the price we confirm before work starts allows for them.
This is also where the council route struggles. Bromley's bulky waste collection (external site) only lifts from the front of the property, off the public highway. With a shared front path or no front garden, there may be nowhere that counts, so check with the council before booking one for a flat.

What size load is a Kelsey Park or Eden Park family house?
A three-bed family house in Kelsey Park or Eden Park is usually a full truck of 15 cubic yards at £360 plus VAT, and a well-filled villa with a loft and a big garden can need a second load. Kelsey & Eden Park is a different picture from the town centre: 77.6% of households (external site) own their home and 38.5% own outright, mostly in terraces and semis, with older villas on large plots around Kelsey Park and Wickham Road.
When one of those houses is sold, the rooms, the loft and the garden all need clearing together, and we'll say if it needs a second load when we price it from your photos. Executors can have a house cleared without travelling, with a key safe or a neighbour holding the keys, once what the family is keeping has been set aside, and probate house clearance explains how that works. The old units and bathroom suite from a refit go on the truck too, and refit waste on its own is covered on bathroom and kitchen rip out. Big gardens are covered on garden clearance.

Questions
Questions about house clearance in Beckenham

A top-floor Clock House flat in Beckenham costs the same per load as a ground-floor one, unless the carry takes the crew past the loading time built into the load. The price is set by the space your things take up, and the stairs are part of the job. If a long carry runs over, extra labour is £30 plus VAT per 30 minutes, flagged when we price it from your photos.
A Beckenham flat can be cleared with nobody there, as long as the crew can get in and knows what's going. Keys left with the letting agent, a key safe or a neighbour holding the keys all work. Photograph anything that stays, and the price is agreed from your photos before the day. Paying by bank transfer or card on completion is simplest, and you get a receipt.
A Beckenham letting agent can be invoiced for a clearance, and agents or landlords who book regularly can apply for a commercial account with RLE Waste Clearance, subject to credit checks. Each clearance is still priced by the load, from £60 plus VAT, and the price is confirmed before work starts, with no obligation. Tell us who's paying and how the crew gets the keys when you book.
Old furniture in Beckenham can only go outside as part of a booked Bromley bulky collection, from £43, with items at the front of the property and off the public highway, collected within 10 working days. Leaving it out otherwise can go wrong: at flats above shops, Bromley warns that rubbish left out on a non-collection day could be treated as fly-tipping. We take it straight from the flat instead.
A Beckenham family house in Kelsey Park or Eden Park can be cleared in one visit before a sale, with the rooms, loft, garage and garden emptied together. If you're moving first, the crew can come after the removal van has gone, so only the unwanted things are left. A three-bed house is usually a full truck at £360 plus VAT.
A Beckenham flat clearance can't include chemicals or other hazardous waste, so keep cleaning products and garden chemicals out of the pile. Clinical waste, sharps and medicines stay behind too, but asbestos that has already been removed can go if you tell us about it first. Furniture, white goods, bags and garden waste are all fine, with fridges, TVs and mattresses charged on top, as shown on the extra items list.
Furniture and everything else we take from a Beckenham flat or house goes to a waste transfer station, where it's sorted. RLE Waste Clearance doesn't buy or value contents, so a good dining table is priced the same way as a broken flat-pack wardrobe, by the space it takes in the truck. Take out anything you want to sell before the crew arrives, and you get a waste transfer note and a receipt on completion.
House clearances outside Beckenham run across the borough: house clearance in Bromley covers BR1 and BR2, and we also work over the border in Lewisham. Council collections and parking for BR3 are on rubbish removal in Beckenham, and Bromley town's are on rubbish removal in Bromley.
