Overview
This page prices factory and industrial clearance for West Ham and Plaistow E13 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 3,460 households in total. Work starts at £680, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Newham 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
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. Narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route.
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 Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c) is the nearest station, so a E13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is West Ham and Plaistow gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground site.
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 West Ham and Plaistow
West Ham and Plaistow E13 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 55% of homes here are flats and 45% are houses, across 3,460 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 30% of West Ham and Plaistow is privately rented and 40% socially rented, a lot of E13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
West Ham and Plaistow substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because West Ham and Plaistow gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground site is the mistake that costs a E13 customer twice.
Terraced streets and the memory of the Boleyn Ground, with fast links in every direction. That character decides the practical detail of factory and industrial clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. West Ham and Plaistow is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route. West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c) is the nearest station, 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.
