House Clearance Dulwich — Pricing & Quotes

House Clearance Dulwich pricing is designed to be clear, fair and tailored to the neighbourhoods we serve. Whether you’re comparing rubbish company prices in Dulwich or checking a typical man and van cost area estimate, this page explains how charges work, what affects a quote, and gives realistic examples across common property types such as Victorian terraces, purpose-built flats and gardened semis in Dulwich Village or East Dulwich.

We operate a transparent pricing model that focuses on two practical approaches: load-based rates and cubic-yard (volume) pricing. This means you can choose a straightforward hourly man-and-van job for small deliveries, or a load-based price when clearing a whole flat or house. Our emphasis is on honest, itemised quotes so you understand the difference between labour, vehicle time, disposal and recycling fees.

How does a rubbish removal quote work in Dulwich? Typical charges are shown either as a per-load fee (a set price for a small, medium or large load) or a per-cubic-yard rate — useful for mixed debris, bulky furniture or garden waste. Per-cubic-yard pricing helps compare bids from different rubbish companies: it standardises volume, so a load that’s 3 cubic yards will cost the same regardless of vehicle choice, removing surprise uplift costs on arrival.

Load-based rates, man and van cost area benchmarks and what’s included

For everyday clearances across Dulwich, you will commonly see three load sizes: small (e.g. a single-bedroom flat), medium (a two- to three-bedroom maisonette) and large (a whole house or bulky garden clearance). Here's how local rubbish company prices are typically structured:

• Small load: suitable for single sofa, white goods or one-bedroom flat clearouts.
• Medium load: full flat clearances, garage or loft clean-outs in Victorian terraces near Lordship Lane.
• Large load: multi-room house clearances, estate clean-ups or major renovations.

Quotes factor in travel time, crew size and vehicle type. Man and van cost in the Dulwich area will often be quoted as an hourly rate for short jobs or a flat fee for single-load collections; for larger clearances, cubic-yard rates are preferred because they reflect volume and disposal costs precisely. Keep an eye on time-sensitive surcharges such as weekend or late collection premiums which some providers apply.

Example jobs and typical price ranges

Below are example clearances tied to common Dulwich properties and busy local spots to help you compare rubbish company prices in the area. Prices are indicative and presented to illustrate how our transparent pricing model applies in practice.

Example 1 — One-bedroom flat clearance (East Dulwich near Lordship Lane): ideal for tenants vacating a cluttered flat. This is often quoted as a small load or an hourly man & van job. Typical range: £120–£250, depending on access and how much needs recycling.

Example 2 — Medium flat or ground-floor maisonette (Dulwich Village): furniture, carpets and general waste in a mid-size job. This is usually priced by load or per cubic yard. Typical range: £250–£500. Example 3 — Full Victorian terrace clearance (West Dulwich) with bulky furniture, garden waste and appliances: treated as a large load or by cubic yards — expect £600+ depending on volume and crew size.

What affects your final quote? Access (narrow streets or long staircase carries), type of waste (hazardous items cost more to process), recycling opportunities and the need for multiple vehicle trips. We underline the importance of itemising costs so you see labour, vehicle, disposal and any recycling credits separately. A local rubbish removal quote should never bundle these into an opaque figure.

Looking for a quick man-and-van price? For small pick-ups and local drops within Dulwich, many companies offer hourly man-and-van rates that range from £40–£70 per hour for a single operative plus van. For two-person teams or larger vans, rates increase but efficiency improves: a two-person crew can complete medium clearances faster, reducing total labour hours while increasing vehicle capacity.

We also explain how cubic-yard rates convert to real jobs. A cubic yard roughly equals the volume of a medium-sized armchair; many full-house clearances run between 10–25 cubic yards. If a local rubbish company prices at £45 per cubic yard, a 12-cubic-yard clearance could be around £540 for volume plus labour and disposal charges.

Extra charges to watch for include removal of hazardous materials, specialist appliance disconnection, bulky items that require dismantling and council disposal fees for certain waste types. We recommend asking for these items to be listed on the quote so the headline price remains a reliable indicator of the final bill.
