Bexley · DA16 · Factory and industrial clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Welling fitters · Fixed written pricesWelling DA16 is a regular stop on our Bexley round. A long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east, so factory and industrial clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £680, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices factory and industrial clearance for Welling DA16 specifically: inter-war stock, 16% privately rented and 3,815 households in total. Work starts at £680, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bexley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Every machine, rack and pallet is listed with a recover, resell or recycle decision against it, so nothing valuable leaves as waste by accident.
Step 2
We work only to plant that has been certified isolated, and we say so in writing rather than assuming the last shift switched it off.
Step 3
Consumables and benching first, then racking, then plant, so the floor stays clear enough to move the heavy items last.
Step 4
Ferrous, non-ferrous, WEEE and general are weighed separately, which is how the scrap credit on your invoice is calculated.
Step 5
Swarf and dust removed, floor swept, photographs and paperwork issued for the dilapidations claim.
Why choose us
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 78% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in DA16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — measured on the walk in from Welling (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
Upper-tier waste carrier registration with consignment paperwork for WEEE, oils and hazardous streams, plus a waste transfer note per load. Scrap is weighed on a certificated weighbridge so the credit on your invoice is auditable.
Three to six operatives depending on the plant, with skates, pallet trucks and a tail-lift 7.5t as standard and a HIAB where a machine cannot be moved to the bay by hand. Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays.
Five to ten working days for a full unit, since the survey, isolation certificates and estate access all have to be in place first. A part clear around a working line can usually start within a week. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part clear, single production line | £680 | 6–8 hrs | One line stripped of tooling, benching and consumables while the rest of the unit keeps running, which is slower than clearing an empty floor. |
| Full unit clearance, up to 5,000 sq ft | £1,850 | 1–2 days | Priced by floor area and the density of what is left, since a light assembly unit and a machine shop of the same size are nothing alike to clear. |
| Machinery removal, per item | £320 | 2–4 hrs | Bolted-down plant has to be disconnected, jacked, skated to the door and loaded — that is rigging labour, not clearance labour. |
| Scrap metal recovery, per tonne | Credit | By load | Steel, copper and aluminium carry a resale value that we credit against the invoice rather than quietly keeping, which is what makes a metal-heavy unit cheaper to clear than an office of the same size. |
| WEEE and electrical plant, per pallet | £185 | 1–2 hrs | Motors, control panels and powered plant fall under WEEE and move on consignment paperwork to a permitted treatment facility. |
| Post-clear industrial sweep | £380 | 3–5 hrs | Swarf, oil residue and dust removed so the unit meets the dilapidations standard rather than merely being empty. |

The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →

Working in Welling
Census 2021 puts Welling at 3,815 households with a median age of 39.5. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 81% houses and 19% flats need different handling in DA16.
16% of households rent privately and 78% own, which is why factory and industrial clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 78% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in DA16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — measured on the walk in from Welling (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Welling: a long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Welling is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and three to six operatives depending on the plant, with skates, pallet trucks and a tail-lift 7.5t as standard and a HIAB where a machine cannot be moved to the bay by hand.

Live electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified electrician before we move the plant; Asbestos-containing insulation, lagging or cladding, with Danson Park and Danson House a few streets away, which needs a licensed removal contractor; Bulk chemical stock or fuel in tanks on the Welling rounds — and 78% owner-occupation locally, which is a specialist hazardous waste contract; Structural demolition of the building itself, including mezzanine steelwork that forms part of the structure.
