End of tenancy clearance is priced on what is actually left behind, not on the size of the property. A three-bed house where the tenant took the furniture but left a mattress, a broken wardrobe and eight bin bags is a half load, not a full clearance.
The prices below are the all-in figures we quote across Medway and Kent in 2026 — labour, transport, tipping fees and your waste transfer note. We fix the number from photos before we arrive, so landlords and agents can attach an approved cost to the deposit paperwork before the work happens.

| Three-quarter van load | Two-bed flat or a partly furnished house | £290 |
| Full van load | Two to three-bed house cleared of all remaining contents | £400 |

Typical Medway and Kent end of tenancy clearance prices, 2026, including disposal and transfer note
What moves the price
How much the tenant actually left
Volume is everything. Photograph each room before you book — most voids we price come in at a quarter or half load rather than the full clearance landlords expect.
Mattresses and upholstered furniture
Mattresses are £60 each and upholstery falls under POPs rules, meaning separate incineration rather than recycling. These are the two items that most often push a quarter load into a half load price.
Access, stairs and parking
A ground-floor Gillingham flat with a driveway clears faster than a third-floor Chatham conversion with no lift and permit parking. Long carries add crew time, which is the main cost after disposal.
Timing against the check-in date
Same-day collection is available across most of Medway and Kent when booked before 11am, which is normally the difference between reletting on time and losing a week of rent.
Whether cleaning is needed as well
We clear and sweep through; we are not a cleaning contractor. Budget separately for a professional clean if the deposit deduction relies on one.
Key takeaways
- Most Kent end of tenancy voids cost £140–£290, not the full-clearance figure landlords expect.
- Price is driven by leftover volume, not the number of bedrooms.
- Mattresses (£60) and upholstered items (£70–£180) are the usual price movers.
- Photograph every room before clearing — that record supports any deposit deduction.
- Same-day slots across Medway and Kent when booked before 11am protect the relet date.
