London hotel clearance · South London
We work in Bromley every week — london's largest borough by area — a big town centre at bromley, then beckenham, orpington and green belt. Hotel clearance is priced against that reality, not a national average.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guest room strip-out, per room | £85 | 30–45 min | Bed, mattress, wardrobe and soft furnishings removed room by room during a phased refurbishment, priced per room so a 12-room wing can be booked without clearing the whole hotel. |
| Mattress and divan disposal, per unit | £28 | 10–15 min | Mattresses are bulky, banned from most general waste streams and go to a dedicated recycler that strips foam, springs and fabric separately. |
| FF&E floor strip-out, per floor | £640 | 1 day | A full floor of case goods, soft furnishings and fixed fittings taken out in one visit, sequenced against housekeeping so occupied floors stay unaffected. |
| Banqueting and function suite clearance | £780 | 1 day | Stacking chairs, round tables, staging and AV cabling cleared from a suite being reconfigured, usually against a tight turnaround before the next event. |
| Kitchen and back-of-house strip-out | £920 | 1 day | Catering equipment, extraction and cold rooms removed with F-gas degassing arranged separately, which is slower and more specialist than a front-of-house clear. |
| Full closure clearance, per floor of rooms | £1,150 | 1–2 days | A hotel closing entirely for redevelopment needs every room stripped in sequence rather than piecemeal, priced by floor because lift access and corridor width set the pace, not room count alone. |

£1,150 · 1–2 days
A hotel closing entirely for redevelopment needs every room stripped in sequence rather than piecemeal, priced by floor because lift access and corridor width set the pace, not room count alone.
Hotel clearance is quoted plus VAT at 20% after a walk-round of the affected rooms or floors. Mattress and WEEE disposal, transfer notes and gate fees are included. Loading bay suspensions, out-of-hours surcharges and F-gas degassing certificates are itemised on the quote.
Working in Bromley
Bromley is built from interwar semis and detached houses, victorian villas in beckenham and 1930s petts wood estates, and the mix changes street by street — Beckenham (BR3), Bickley (BR1) and Bromley (BR1) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, driveways and wide roads dominate; bromley high street is pedestrianised with timed loading only. Locally that means tram-line crossings, high-street loading windows and driveways on side roads and long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads. Bromley sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Bromley classes mattresses, soft furnishings and any WEEE-marked equipment coming out of guest rooms as separate waste streams from general trade waste, and a hotel's existing trade waste contract is usually sized for day-to-day housekeeping, not a floor-by-floor refit. We run FF&E strip-outs as a distinct job with their own transfer notes rather than loading them onto the hotel's normal collection.
Why it looks like this: kent market towns and manors pulled into london in 1965; the railways created beckenham and petts wood as commuter suburbs.
Scope
Method
Step 1
We list what is leaving room by room or floor by floor, because lift capacity and corridor width set the daily pace far more than the item count does.
Step 2
Loading bay windows and guest-floor restrictions confirmed with management so a strip-out never runs into check-in or checkout hours.
Step 3
Soft furnishings, case goods and electricals split at the point of removal so each stream goes to the correct facility.
Step 4
Rooms or floors cleared in the agreed sequence, protecting corridors and lifts still in guest use.
Step 5
Photographs of the cleared areas and a waste transfer note for every load returned to the hotel's facilities manager.
Coverage
Also in this borough
The parent commercial silo — offices, units, shops and estate handovers.
Desks, chairs, bedroom and FF&E furniture removed per item or per load.
Mixed loads collected by volume with a same-day waste transfer note.
Fridges, catering plant and powered equipment removed under WEEE rules.
Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Bromley, and the ladder runs up to £1,150 for the largest job on the table above. Room count and lift access first, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant. A guest-floor strip-out is quick per room; a back-of-house kitchen clear is slower because of degassing and specialist WEEE routing. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: BR1, BR2, BR3, BR4, BR5, BR6, BR7, SE20 and SE9. On the ground that includes Beckenham, Bickley, Bromley, Chislehurst, Mottingham and Orpington.
Three to five working days for a phased refurbishment schedule, next day for a small room-block clear. Full closures are planned around the handover date agreed with the operator. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Driveways and wide roads dominate; Bromley High Street is pedestrianised with timed loading only. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Bromley and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Interwar semis and detached houses, Victorian villas in Beckenham and 1930s Petts Wood estates is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every visit, with F-gas certified degassing arranged for catering refrigeration and WEEE routing for in-room electricals. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Bromley tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
Two to four operatives depending on room count, scaling to a second team on a full-floor or full-closure clearance where the schedule is set by a redevelopment date. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Bromley postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope, Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric, which need a licensed removal contractor and Live catering gas or electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified engineer first. If something on that list turns up in Bromley, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
