Camden · NW6 · Factory and industrial clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Hampstead fitters · Fixed written pricesWest Hampstead NW6 is a regular stop on our Camden round. Three stations, a busy high street and streets of red-brick Victorian conversions, 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
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around West Hampstead, factory and industrial clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £680. With 88% of West Hampstead's 4,309 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW6 shape the slot length we hold.
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
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. Very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts.
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. West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in NW6, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering West Hampstead actually produces in NW6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 40% one-person households in West Hampstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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.
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.
