Where to find us

Located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Plumstead is an extremely multicultural and diverse area. The postcode district is SE18 and nearby areas include Woolwich, Abbey Wood, Thamesmead and Erith. Postcode districts surrounding Plumstead include SE2, SE28, DA8 and SE7. Plumstead has a long history, but in recently the area has undergone redevelopment in the form of an increase in housing. Unlike many places like it, Plumstead managed to do this while still keeping lots of its green spaces, meaning that areas such as Shrewsbury Park were untouched. Football fans, in particular Arsenal fans, may enjoy Plumstead as the team played at various grounds here. As with most areas in London, Plumstead has produced some famous people, including Bill Whitehouse, the Formula 1 racing driver, Charlie Buchan, a footballer and writer and Scott Maslen, a television actor. The facilities in Plumstead are brilliant for the local community, with Plumstead having multiple schools to choose from for children of all ages, and great transport links with the rest of London.

Highly efficient and prompt service, with ongoing updates at each stage.

Jaw-droppingly good service--emptied my apartment on a Sunday for a budget-friendly price.

The entire process with House Clearance exceeded my expectations. Their team was courteous on the phone and in person. Will definitely return as a customer.

The company made booking easy, gave a clear quote, and the team who came were friendly and careful.

Super quick, safe, and helpful staff. I've used this service a couple of times and the process is always smooth and professional. No last-minute costs, friendly workers, and my old items gone fast. Glad to have found them.

The team was on time, showed good manners, and worked fast. The charges were just as estimated, which I appreciated. Their help made a difficult job simple.

An exceptional experience. The staff managed everything promptly and smoothly. Great price and very professional.

Top-notch service! The crew was early, extremely polite, worked swiftly, and handled everything delicately. Thank you so much.

Post-repair, I called HandyRubbish for cleaning. The team was prompt, finished fast, and left my entire space, including the driveway, totally clean.
