Garage clearance in Streatham.

Streatham has garages. Most of them are full.

The interwar semis in Streatham Vale and the bigger houses around Streatham Common and Streatham Park were built with garages and drives. Over the years most of those garages stopped holding cars and started holding everything else: bikes, tools, paint tins, old furniture and boxes from the last two moves.

We clear the lot in one visit. Everything is carried out to a caged van on your drive or the road outside, and sorted for recycling as it’s loaded. Metal from bikes, tools and old shelving, wood from benches and cupboards, and cardboard from boxes all go separately.

The shed and any outbuildings can go at the same time, along with the junk that tends to collect down the side of the house.

We don’t take hazardous waste such as paint, oils, solvents, chemicals or gas bottles unless it’s been agreed beforehand. Point them out and we’ll set them aside.

When the clearance is finished, you have a garage you can park in, a workshop you can use, or a clear space ready for a conversion.

Streatham has more private garages than anywhere else we cover in Lambeth, mostly on the interwar streets of Streatham Vale and the bigger houses near the Common. Most stopped holding a car years ago, and a full one often fills a caged van on its own.
