We Clear Junk has worked across EC1R 0 since 2006, and Clerkenwell’s mix of converted warehouse lofts and Georgian terraces around the Green can typically be booked in for same-day or next-day collection from our 15-truck fleet, fully licensed and insured.
From a former print works turned loft apartment near St John’s Gate to a terraced house overlooking Myddelton Square, our two-person crews are equally at home carrying items through a goods lift or up a narrow period staircase.
Clerkenwell spent centuries as a centre for clockmakers, printers and brewers before the industry moved out and the old workshops and warehouses were left standing, which is exactly what makes the area so distinctive today. Around Clerkenwell Green, St John’s Gate and the design studios that now fill Exmouth Market, former factories sit alongside Georgian terraces on squares like Myddelton Square and Northampton Square. We Clear Junk is regularly booked for clearances that reflect this mix: a loft apartment converted from an old print works, a Georgian house near the Green passed between owners, a design studio or architecture practice clearing out old fittings, or a flat close to Hatton Garden’s jewellery quarter being reset for a new tenant. Loft conversions often come with wide doorways and a goods lift, which speeds things up, while the area’s period terraces mean our crews are just as ready for a tighter staircase. Every job is quoted upfront, booked around your schedule, and finished with almost everything we collect recycled, reused or donated rather than sent to landfill.

If you have ordered with us before, the below form allows you to make a quick re-order.
Booking a clearance takes four straightforward steps from your first call to a finished job.
Call 020 3504 5097 or book online in a couple of minutes. Give us your EC1 postcode and a rough idea of what needs clearing, and we'll confirm if a same-day or next-day slot is available.
Put anything you'd like donated to one side and we'll get it to a good home. Leave everything else as it is; our crew handles the lifting, goods lift or staircase alike.
We agree one all-inclusive price with you before the day, covering furniture, appliances and anything else you've mentioned, so there's nothing extra to discuss on arrival.
Two of our team turn up on schedule, work carefully around communal entrances and original features, and load efficiently. We finish with a walkthrough before we leave.
Sofas, beds, wardrobes and dining sets of any size, carried out from loft apartments or period terraces alike. Full details are on our sofa & mattress removal service page.
Fridges, washing machines, dishwashers and tumble dryers are removed and disposed of correctly through our electrical appliance disposal process.
Bin bags, cardboard and general mixed waste in any quantity, from a single bag to a full clear-out.
Timber, plasterboard, old flooring and fittings from converting or refurbishing a former industrial building go through our builders waste removal team.
Years of stored belongings are cleared out completely, whether from a converted loft space or a more traditional attic.
Cuttings, branches and bagged green waste from a courtyard or one of Clerkenwell's garden squares are collected through our garden waste clearance service.
Landlords and agents across EC1 rely on us to reset flats between tenants quickly, with the property left completely clear.
Old carpets, rugs, curtains and cushions are taken away and recycled wherever that's possible.
Clerkenwell slots move quickly, so it's worth calling ahead to check what's available for same-day collection across EC1.
You're charged only for what's actually removed, and any extra cost is agreed with you before we start, never after.
Around 97% of what we collect is recycled, reused or donated rather than sent to landfill.
Our crews are insured, DBS-checked and uniformed, and treat every Clerkenwell loft, terrace or flat with the same care they'd want shown in their own home.
From a single item to an entire loft or house clearance, our 15-truck fleet handles jobs of any size.
Evening and weekend slots are available for anyone whose working week in the design and creative industries doesn't leave room for a daytime collection.
Furniture and belongings still in good condition are passed on to local Islington charities instead of being thrown away.
We don't leave until the space is properly ready, whether that's for a new tenant, a sale, or your own peace of mind.
Islington Council’s bulky waste service charges £30 for the first three items, with each additional item costing £10 up to a limit of ten items per collection. Bookings go through the council’s online system and, once confirmed, items need to be left ready for the crew on the agreed day. We Clear Junk works differently: a crew comes directly to your Clerkenwell property, clears everything in one visit with no item cap, and can usually be arranged for the same day or the next.

Yes, a skip on any public road in Clerkenwell needs a licence from Islington Council, charged at £127 per calendar month rather than by the week, and only issued to a registered skip company with waste carrier and public liability cover, not to residents directly. If the skip needs a parking bay suspended, that adds a further £85.40 a day on top. Given that cost, most people around EC1 book our man-and-van collection instead, with no skip, no permit and nothing to arrange with the council.
Furniture, white goods, general rubbish, renovation debris, garden waste and carpets are all collected in a single visit, with over 97% kept out of landfill.
Same-day and next-day slots are common across EC1, so call 020 3504 5097 and we'll check what's free today.
Yes, our crews are used to Clerkenwell's converted loft buildings, shared goods lifts and narrow period staircases alike, and we plan access before the day so nothing holds things up.
We're fully licensed, insured and ISO 9001/14001 certified, and can provide a waste transfer note on request for landlords, agents or businesses.
