House clearance in Sidcup

What size load is a Sidcup flat or house?

Most Sidcup flats fill somewhere between a third and three quarters of the truck, and a three-bed semi with a loft and a garage usually fills a full one, sometimes with a smaller second load. Every clearance is priced from your photos, so treat these sizes as a rough guide.

• A part-furnished one-bed flat with a fridge and one mattress: about a third of a truck at £150 plus VAT, with £60 plus VAT for the fridge and £10 plus VAT for the mattress.
• The loft of a semi, already boxed and bagged: about a quarter of a truck at £130 plus VAT.

Each load includes its own loading time. If narrow stairs or a long walk to the truck push a job past that, extra labour is £30 plus VAT per 30 minutes, and we'll tell you before carrying on.

How does clearing a Sidcup flat between tenancies work?

Clearing a Sidcup flat between tenancies works like any other load: we carry out what the tenant left, take it away and give you a waste transfer note and a receipt when you pay. Bexley Council counts waste from a rented property as commercial, so a landlord can't take a tenant's leftovers to the council's own sites, even in a car. Our upper tier waste carrier number, CBDU175566, can go on the tenancy file.

An agent can book on a landlord's behalf. Tell us who's paying, how we get in and what stays, such as white goods that belong to the let. Payment is on completion by card, bank transfer, cash or company cheque, and commercial accounts are available, subject to credit checks. Parking and the council's bulky collection in Sidcup are covered on waste clearance in Sidcup.

Why doesn't the council's kerbside rule suit upstairs Sidcup flats?

The council's kerbside rule means a second-floor wardrobe has to be carried down and left outside, off the highway, before Bexley's bulky collection will take it (bulky collections (external site)). More than four in ten homes in Sidcup ward are flats, against about a quarter across Bexley, going by the 2021 Census (external site). The council also turns down large amounts of black sacks from clearances.

Our crew carries from any floor, and the bags go on the truck with the furniture. Tell us the floor and whether there's a lift when you send photos, so the price allows for the carry.

How does a Sidcup house clearance work after a bereavement?

A Sidcup house clearance after a bereavement can be arranged from anywhere, because you don't need to be at the house. About one Sidcup ward resident in five is 65 or over, and when a clearance follows a death or a move into care, the family is often in another part of the country.

Send photos or a short video, leave a key with a neighbour or in a key safe, and list anything the family is keeping. We clear the rest, and you get a waste transfer note and a receipt for the estate's records. Probate house clearance has more for executors, and the official steps for applying for probate (external site) are on gov.uk.
