Overview
This page prices factory and industrial clearance for Hackney Wick E9 specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 2,805 households in total. Work starts at £680, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hackney 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
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. Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures.
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. Hackney Wick (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Hackney Wick (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in E9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 2,805 households inside the E9 neighbourhood.
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. |

Scope
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 Hackney Wick
Census 2021 puts Hackney Wick at 2,805 households with a median age of 32.9. The post-war stock is social-housing-led, which is why 31% houses and 69% flats need different handling in E9.
28% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why factory and industrial clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Hackney Wick (Overground) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in E9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 2,805 households inside the E9 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Hackney Wick knows the pattern near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: canal-side studios and warehouse blocks facing the Olympic Park. We plan the E9 visit around it. Hackney Wick is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures — 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 Hackney Wick (Overground).

Part clear, single production line starts at £680 in Hackney Wick for Hackney Wick (E9) addresses — and 28% of E9 homes being privately rented, with 2,805 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The density and type of what is being removed on the Hackney Wick rounds. 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 on Hackney bookings — and this being a short walk from Hackney Wick (Overground), with this being London Borough of Hackney territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Hackney Wick (Overground), with 2,805 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hackney Wick most weeks, with 31% one-person households here.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across E9, with The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Hackney Wick rounds. With 69% of Hackney Wick homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on E9 jobs — and 28% of E9 homes being privately rented, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 28% of Hackney Wick privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the E9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Hackney Wick rounds, with 28% owner-occupation locally.
The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is the marker we route to on this side of Hackney, with 31% one-person households here — and 2,805 households on this patch, and narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures. A E9 slot added to an existing Hackney round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 69% flats neighbourhood, with Hackney parking rules in play.
Five to ten working days for a full unit, since the survey, isolation certificates and estate access all have to be in place first on this side of Hackney, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory. A part clear around a working line can usually start within a week across E9. Hackney Wick sits close to Hackney Wick (Overground) on Hackney bookings, with 2,805 households on this patch, so we can usually add a E9 job to an existing Hackney round at short notice.
