Richmond upon Thames · TW9 · Factory and industrial clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kew fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for factory and industrial clearance in Kew TW9? We work in Kew most weeks — the botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them — and price factory and industrial clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £680, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices factory and industrial clearance for Kew TW9 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 30% privately rented and 4,163 households in total. Work starts at £680, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 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. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a TW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Kew, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 4,163 households inside the TW9 neighbourhood in TW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Kew gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 43 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. Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages.
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 Kew
In Kew (TW9) the split is 41% flats to 59% houses over 4,163 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
Because 30% of Kew is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of TW9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick in Kew, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 4,163 households inside the TW9 neighbourhood behind the plaster in TW9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Kew gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Kew 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 — the botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them — which is why a TW9 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
On access, narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages — 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 Kew Gardens (District, Overground).
