London factory clearance · North London
Factory and industrial clearance across Brent, from HA0, HA9 and NW10 outwards. Wembley's stadium and towers, Kilburn's high street and the Metroland semis of Kingsbury and Queensbury, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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. |

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.
Industrial clearance is quoted plus VAT at 20% after a site survey, because floor area alone does not describe a unit. Scrap value is credited back on the invoice. Consignment notes for hazardous streams, transfer notes, ULEZ and any estate access charges are itemised separately.
Working in Brent
What our crews walk into in Brent is 1930s semis, victorian and edwardian terraces in willesden and kilburn, and thousands of new wembley park flats, and the mix changes street by street — Cricklewood (NW2), Harlesden (NW10) and Kensal Green and Kensal Rise (NW10) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, event-day controls around wembley, cpzs along kilburn high road, and new-build blocks needing lift and bay booking. Locally that means a5 red route, permit bays and terraced streets with tight parking and very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only. Brent sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Industrial units across Brent usually sit on estates where London Borough of Brent enforces weight and turning restrictions on the access road, so a 7.5t vehicle can be the largest that will physically reach the loading bay. We survey the approach before booking rather than sending a vehicle that has to be turned away at the gate.
Why it looks like this: farmland urbanised by the metropolitan railway; the 1924 british empire exhibition put wembley on the map.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
The parent commercial silo — offices, units, shops and estate handovers.
Rubble, plasterboard and strip-out waste removed with transfer notes issued.
Desks, chairs, IT and storage cleared out of hours to a handover date.
Mixed loads collected by volume with a same-day waste transfer note.
Part clear, single production line starts at £680 in Brent, and the ladder runs up to £380 for the largest job on the table above. The density and type of what is being removed. Metal-heavy units carry a scrap credit that can cut the invoice substantially; units full of mixed production waste, plastics and contaminated packaging cost more at the gate and take longer to segregate. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: HA0, HA9, NW10, NW2, NW6, NW9 and W9. On the ground that includes Cricklewood, Harlesden, Kensal Green and Kensal Rise, Kilburn Park and Brondesbury, Kingsbury and Neasden.
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. North London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Event-day controls around Wembley, CPZs along Kilburn High Road, and new-build blocks needing lift and bay booking. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Brent and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. 1930s semis, Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Willesden and Kilburn, and thousands of new Wembley Park flats is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Brent tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Brent postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Live electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified electrician before we move the plant, Asbestos-containing insulation, lagging or cladding, which needs a licensed removal contractor and Bulk chemical stock or fuel in tanks, which is a specialist hazardous waste contract. If something on that list turns up in Brent, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
