Overview
Hotel clearance in Aldgate EC3, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Aldgate, hotel clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £85. With 98% of Aldgate's 4,914 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC3 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How hotel clearance works in Aldgate
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC3, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — and with 51% one-person households in Aldgate, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Walk-round and room count
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
Access and timing agreed with the hotel
Loading bay windows and guest-floor restrictions confirmed with management so a strip-out never runs into check-in or checkout hours.
Step 3
Mattress, FF&E and WEEE separated
Soft furnishings, case goods and electricals split at the point of removal so each stream goes to the correct facility.
Step 4
Phased removal
Rooms or floors cleared in the agreed sequence, protecting corridors and lifts still in guest use.
Step 5
Sign-off and transfer notes
Photographs of the cleared areas and a waste transfer note for every load returned to the hotel's facilities manager.
Why choose us
Why Aldgate customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Aldgate wall.
Crew sized to the job
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. Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking.
Booked around your day
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. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Aldgate walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) rather than assumed from a map in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Aldgate stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Hotel clearance prices in Aldgate
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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.
| 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. |

Scope
What's included in Aldgate
The same scope across EC3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Aldgate: room-by-room or floor-by-floor scheduling that works around occupied guest floors and housekeeping rounds, timed against the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan)
- On EC3 jobs: mattress and soft furnishing disposal through a dedicated recycling stream, not general waste, agreed on the doorstep in Aldgate before anything is unpacked
- Standard on City of London bookings: wEEE-compliant removal of televisions, minibars and in-room electricals, allowing for the 48% of EC3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- F-gas certified degassing arranged before any catering refrigeration is removed, noted on the Aldgate job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Aldgate: waste transfer note issued after every visit, itemised by floor or room block, sized for the aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking
- On EC3 jobs: dust sheets and corridor protection used throughout so guest areas are not marked, hotel clearance included
Not included
- Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope, which we refer on to the right trade in Aldgate
- Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric, which need a licensed removal contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC3
- Live catering gas or electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified engineer first, outside the fixed price on Aldgate bookings
- Storage of removed FF&E — we clear and dispose or recycle, we do not warehouse items for reuse, and we will say so before the EC3 visit rather than on the day

Aldgate EC3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Aldgate — the numbers that actually change a hotel clearance quote.
In Aldgate (EC3) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,914 households, and the stock is post-war.
Because 48% of Aldgate is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Aldgate is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Aldgate stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Eastern edge of the Square Mile where office towers meet Whitechapel's high street. That character decides the practical detail of hotel clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Aldgate sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking — one reason 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.

Common questions
Hotel clearance in Aldgate EC3 — your questions.
How much does hotel clearance cost in Aldgate EC3?
Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Aldgate on City of London bookings, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 4,914 households on this patch, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant on the Aldgate rounds. A guest-floor strip-out is quick per room; a back-of-house kitchen clear is slower because of degassing and specialist WEEE routing for Aldgate (EC3) addresses, with 98% of homes here being flats.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Aldgate EC3?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Aldgate rounds, with 15% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Aldgate most weeks on City of London bookings, with 37% owner-occupation locally.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Aldgate?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Aldgate (EC3) addresses, with this being City of London Corporation territory.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Aldgate doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on EC3 jobs. With 98% of Aldgate homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Aldgate rounds — and 15% social-rented stock nearby, with The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Aldgate?
Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking on the Aldgate rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in City of London Corporation it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on EC3 jobs — and 98% of homes here being flats, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented.
Are your fitters insured for work in EC3?
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every visit around Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), with City of London parking rules in play, with F-gas certified degassing arranged for catering refrigeration and WEEE routing for in-room electricals. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on EC3 jobs, with 51% one-person households here.
What is not included in hotel clearance in Aldgate?
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; Live catering gas or electrical disconnection in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 2% of Aldgate homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan), which must be certified by a qualified engineer first; Storage of removed FF&E — we clear and dispose or recycle, we do not warehouse items for reuse. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Aldgate EC3 price you agree is the price you pay on City of London bookings, with The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe a few streets away.
