Croydon · CR0 · Factory and industrial clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Addiscombe fitters · Fixed written pricesAddiscombe CR0 is a regular stop on our Croydon round. Tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon, 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 mixed-tenure households around Addiscombe, factory and industrial clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £680. With 42% of Addiscombe's 11,026 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR0 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
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Ashburton Park in CR0, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in CR0, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) 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. Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
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. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR0 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 Addiscombe
Census 2021 puts Addiscombe at 11,026 households with a median age of 36.7. The mainly Edwardian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 58% houses and 42% flats need different handling in CR0.
Private renting sits at 33% and owner-occupation at 54%; the first group books factory and industrial clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Ashburton Park behind the plaster in CR0. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in CR0, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Addiscombe (Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Addiscombe: tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Addiscombe is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Addiscombe (Tramlink).
