Wandsworth · SW15 · Factory and industrial clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Roehampton fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking factory and industrial clearance near The Alton Estate and Richmond Park? Slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches, 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
Factory and industrial clearance in Roehampton SW15 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Wandsworth, most of them inter-war. 9,539 households sit inside this SW15 patch, 75% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Alton Estate and Richmond Park rather than a London average.
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. Barnes (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 40% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Roehampton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches.
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 Roehampton
Roehampton SW15 is inter-war and social-housing-led: 75% of homes here are flats and 25% are houses, across 9,539 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 25% private renting against 35% owner-occupied, most SW15 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 40% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SW15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Roehampton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Roehampton 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 Alton Estate's modernist slabs beside Richmond Park's Roehampton Gate — which is why a SW15 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches. Barnes (South Western) 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.

Part clear, single production line starts at £680 in Roehampton on this side of Wandsworth, with 25% of Roehampton homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The density and type of what is being removed in this 75% flats neighbourhood. 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 Wandsworth bookings — and 35% owner-occupation locally, with 25% of SW15 homes being privately rented.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Barnes (South Western), with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Roehampton most weeks in this 75% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Barnes (South Western), with 9,539 households on this patch. On Roehampton jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SW15 jobs. With 75% of Roehampton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Roehampton rounds, with 40% social-rented stock nearby — and 9,539 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Live electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified electrician before we move the plant; Asbestos-containing insulation, lagging or cladding — and 40% social-rented stock nearby, which needs a licensed removal contractor; Bulk chemical stock or fuel in tanks around Barnes (South Western), with Wandsworth parking rules in play, which is a specialist hazardous waste contract; Structural demolition of the building itself, including mezzanine steelwork that forms part of the structure. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Roehampton SW15 price you agree is the price you pay in Roehampton, with 75% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 25% of Roehampton privately rented and 35% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near The Alton Estate and Richmond Park — and 40% social-rented stock nearby, with 31% one-person households here.
