Job details
Project overview
A three-bedroom semi-detached house in Greenwich, SE10 needed clearing ahead of a planned sale. houseclearance.co put the job out to 7 carriers; 3 responded with bids, and the job record's price is £1,235.
Turnaround was quick here – just 6 days from the 10 July 2026 listing to the 16 July 2026 completion date. As with any clearance of this kind, the person authorising the work had to sign off a room-by-room keep/remove list before loading began, to make sure nothing needed went out by mistake.
Items removed and quantity
The inventory for this job covered:
- Two sofas
- Three bedframes
- Storage units
- Rugs
- Kitchen contents
- Boxed belongings
Taken together, this amounted to an estimated 16–20 cubic yards of material. Fitted fixtures, hazardous waste, paint and rubble were excluded without a separate assessment, along with wall-fixed units and building rubble – items a project like this typically handles separately rather than through a house clearance.
Access and logistics
Handling this job needs to account for a long route through the front garden to the van, together with a short pedestrian carry. Furniture may require safe disassembly where appropriate to work within these conditions.
How the clearance was completed
Bulky furniture in the inventory may need to be safely disassembled where necessary to work within the access conditions above; items outside the agreed scope – wall-fixed units, hazardous materials and building rubble – are left in place.
Any reusable items are set aside for an appropriate reuse route where feasible, with the remaining waste going through authorised disposal channels.
Final cost and pricing factors
£1,235 won this job against two higher bids, the top one reaching £1,415. A job of this size carries real weight behind that price: roughly 16–20 cubic yards of material, furniture that may need taking apart to get it out, and a long route through the front garden to the van followed by a short pedestrian carry – all of it adding to loading time.
