Garage clearance in Kennington & Oval.

Garages are rare here. Make yours count.

Kennington’s Georgian and Victorian streets were built long before cars, so a garage here is usually a lock-up on an estate, a rented space behind a block or a converted outbuilding. Whatever form it takes, it fills up fast.

Older houses add their own storage: vaulted coal stores under the pavement, basement cellars and garden sheds behind the terraces. They become home to bikes, tins, boxes and furniture that never found a place indoors.

We clear it all in one visit. Everything is carried out and loaded into a caged van, separated for recycling as it goes. Metal, wood and cardboard go their own ways, and usable items are passed on.

Paint, motor oil, solvents and gas bottles are hazardous waste. Unless we’ve agreed to take them, we leave them aside for proper disposal.

Lock-ups on the estates around Kennington Park often come back to the council or housing association when someone moves, and they need to be empty first. Tell us the date the keys are due back and we’ll book in before it.

Garage space in Kennington mostly means lock-ups on the estates around Kennington Park, plus the vaults and cellars of the Georgian houses. Those vaults are often full of things left by previous owners, and the new owners want the space back for bikes or bins.
