Welcome to our clear, straightforward pricing page for Flat Clearance Hornsey.

We focus on transparency so you know whether a clearance is best charged by load size, cubic yards, or a simple man-and-van hourly rate.Our approach to rubbish removal in Hornsey is built on clarity: a single, easy-to-understand pricing model, explicit allowances for disposal and recycling, and examples tied to typical properties in the area. We serve high streets and residential pockets from Hornsey High Street to Turnpike Lane and Crouch End, helping with single-item removals, full flat clearances, and man & van moves.

How our transparent pricing model works
Transparent pricing means no surprise add-ons. You’ll see the base cost, any fuel surcharge (if applicable), and disposal fees broken down. We price jobs in two main ways: load-based rates (like a small van, medium pick-up, or a full skip-equivalent load) and cubic-yard or cubic-metre rates for larger clearances. For quick jobs, we also offer a competitive man and van cost structure billed hourly or as a fixed small-job fee.Load-based and cubic-yard pricing explained
Load-based pricing is ideal for typical household clearances in Hornsey flats and maisonettes. We define loads as: small van (about a single room), medium load (roughly equivalent to a small skip), and full-load (multiple rooms or bulky items). Alternatively, cubic-yard rates let you estimate cost by volume when you know approximately how much needs clearing — useful for basement or attic clearances in period terraces.What we include in each quote:
- Collection and labour: two operatives by default for flat clearance jobs unless a single-operator man-and-van is requested.
- Transport: vehicle and fuel for round trip in the Hornsey area.
- Disposal & recycling: fees to local transfer stations and credits for items taken to reuse or charity centres when possible.
Example pricing bands (indicative): small load from £80-£120, medium load £200-£360, full loads £600+ depending on volume and access. These ranges reflect common rates for rubbish removal Hornsey and man-and-van services in nearby London boroughs.
Sample jobs and real Hornsey scenarios
Studio flat clear-out — Hornsey High Street above shops: A compact studio with tired furniture and small appliances is usually a small van load. Typical cost fits the small load band above; our team can do this as a man and van job if stairs and narrow access are manageable.
Two-bedroom Victorian terrace conversion — Crouch End area: Clearing out flooring, kitchen units and garden waste often reaches a medium to full load. For these jobs we calculate either by load or by cubic yards when volumes are higher, and we quote for extra labour if there are heavy items or long staircases common in period houses.
Basement and cellar clearances — Hornsey Gardens and surrounding streets: Basements can be deceptive in volume. We usually offer a cubic-yard estimate for cellars because airspace and stacking affect pricing; this helps avoid under-quoting and ensures fair man and van costs for removals that need more time.
Bulky item removals: sofas, mattresses, wardrobes and white goods from flats near Turnpike Lane can be priced as single-item removals with a set fee or incorporated into a small-load clearance. We always flag whether disassembly is included and if additional labour charges apply.
Calculating cubic-yard costs
To convert from rooms to volume: a small room clearance is often 2-3 cubic yards; a living room with furniture may be 4-6 cubic yards. If we charge £50 per cubic yard (example), a 5-cubic-yard job would be estimated at £250 plus labour and disposal. We give both load and cubic-yard quotes so you can choose what suits your move or clearance.Man & van cost breakdown
For short local moves or single-item removals, our man and van Hornsey option is billed hourly or as a fixed trip fee. Typical man-and-van hourly rates range by team size: single operative (cheaper, ideal for ground-floor pick-ups) or two-person crew (faster, safer for stairs). Weekend and evening collections may carry a small premium; we always say so up front.
Free quote policy: We offer a free, no-obligation quote policy for all Hornsey flat clearance and rubbish removal enquiries. Choose one of three easy options: a quick photo-based estimate via images, an over-the-phone estimate with item list, or a free on-site estimate. The on-site visit is free in the Hornsey area and is best for complex jobs, multiple rooms or tricky access.
What affects final price?
Access & location: Stairs, narrow corridors, parking restrictions on busy Hornsey High Street or Crouch End, and distance from loading areas can increase labour time and therefore the final cost. We assess these factors when giving a free quote so the initial estimate is as accurate as possible.
Disposal, recycling and hidden fees: We don’t hide disposal costs. If hazardous or controlled waste turns up (e.g., certain paints, solvents or asbestos), we will outline legal disposal requirements and provide a clear supplemental cost estimate. Conversely, we pass on any recycling credits when items are reused or salvaged.
Booking, timing and next steps
To keep pricing predictable we provide a written quote breakdown showing whether you chose load-based pricing, a cubic-yard estimate, or a man-and-van hourly rate. Quotes are valid for a set period (typically 7-14 days) to protect you from short-term price variations in disposal charges.
Final notes: Our goal is a fair, predictable fee for flat clearance in Hornsey and surrounding neighbourhoods. We combine local knowledge with clear pricing, example job breakdowns, and a free quote policy so you can choose the best option for flats, terraced houses, basements, and small commercial clearances.
