Merton · SW20 · Factory and industrial clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Raynes Park fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking factory and industrial clearance near Cottenham Park? Driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £680 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices factory and industrial clearance for Raynes Park SW20 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 35% privately rented and 3,570 households in total. Work starts at £680, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Merton 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
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. Raynes Park (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Raynes Park (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in SW20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak.
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 Raynes Park
In Raynes Park (SW20) the split is 51% flats to 49% houses over 3,570 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 35% of Raynes Park is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of SW20 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Raynes Park (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Raynes Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Raynes Park is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — a quiet family suburb of interwar semis with Cottenham Park nearby — which is why a SW20 quote is not a Merton average.
Driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak. Nearest station is Raynes Park (South Western), 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.
