Direct answer
Clearing a studio flat or bedsit in London typically costs about £150 to £280, roughly a quarter to a half of a Luton van load. That is the indicative range on our prices page, not a fixed rate card: a licensed carrier quotes the real price for your flat, floor and access.
What a studio flat or bedsit clearance costs in London
Published ranges from our prices page.
A studio flat or bedsit is the smallest property type we publish a price for. Our prices page gives a range of £150 to £280, which assumes a standard two-person loading team and reflects a small amount of furniture, basic appliances and personal items.
| Item | Typical figure |
|---|---|
| Price range (excl. VAT) | £150 – £280 |
| Weight allowance | Up to 200 kg |
| Loading time | 30 – 45 minutes |
| Typical scenario | Minimalist layout, basic white goods, no heavy carpets |
That is about a quarter to a half of a Luton van load. These are indicative ranges, and the price you pay is the quote from a licensed carrier for your actual flat.
What moves the price up or down
Small flats still vary.
- Volume. Our van-load table shows how the price rises from the single-item minimum through a quarter and half van load.
- Floor and lift. Many studios are on upper floors. Stairs without a lift typically add £30 to £60 per flight.
- Regulated items. A mattress, sofa or fridge adds its own disposal surcharge, listed on the prices page.
- Parking. Studio flats are often in controlled parking zones, which can add a suspension or permit cost.
Landlords, tenants and tight deadlines
Studios are often cleared at the end of a tenancy.
Many studio clearances are the end of a tenancy or a sudden move, so the deadline matters. See our end of tenancy clearance guide and the same-day and urgent clearance cost guide. For larger flats, see the flat clearance cost guide and the pricing by volume guide.
