Overview
Hotel clearance in Coulsdon CR5, explained
Hotel clearance in Coulsdon CR5 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Croydon, most of them inter-war. 6,754 households sit inside this CR5 patch, 22% of them flats, so we quote on access near Farthing Downs rather than a London average.
How it works
How hotel clearance works in Coulsdon
Five steps, the same on every CR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — and with 26% one-person households in Coulsdon, 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 Coulsdon customers book us
What follows is specific to Coulsdon: its walls, its access and the paperwork Croydon agents ask for.
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. Steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street.
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. Coulsdon South (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Coulsdon walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street in CR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Hotel clearance prices in Coulsdon
Fixed prices for CR5 and the rest of Croydon. 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 Coulsdon
The same scope across CR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Croydon bookings: room-by-room or floor-by-floor scheduling that works around occupied guest floors and housekeeping rounds, allowing for the 12% of CR5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Mattress and soft furnishing disposal through a dedicated recycling stream, not general waste, noted on the Coulsdon job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Coulsdon: wEEE-compliant removal of televisions, minibars and in-room electricals, timed against the walk in from Coulsdon South (Southern)
- On CR5 jobs: f-gas certified degassing arranged before any catering refrigeration is removed, agreed on the doorstep in Coulsdon before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Croydon bookings: waste transfer note issued after every visit, itemised by floor or room block, arranged with London Borough of Croydon where the kerb needs it
- Dust sheets and corridor protection used throughout so guest areas are not marked — including local hotel clearance
Not included
- Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope, quoted separately if you need it arranged in CR5
- Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric, which need a licensed removal contractor, outside the fixed price on Coulsdon bookings
- Live catering gas or electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified engineer first, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- Storage of removed FF&E — we clear and dispose or recycle, we do not warehouse items for reuse, which we refer on to the right trade in Coulsdon

Coulsdon CR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Coulsdon — the numbers that actually change a hotel clearance quote.
In Coulsdon (CR5) the split is 22% flats to 78% houses over 6,754 households, and the stock is inter-war.
Because 12% of Coulsdon is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of CR5 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Coulsdon substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a CR5 customer twice.
Downland village on the North Downs edge, with Farthing Downs above the town. That character decides the practical detail of hotel clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Coulsdon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street — 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. Fitters travelling in use Coulsdon South (Southern).

Common questions
Hotel clearance in Coulsdon CR5 — your questions.
How much does hotel clearance cost in Coulsdon CR5?
Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Coulsdon around Coulsdon South (Southern), with 74% owner-occupation locally, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 6,754 households on this patch, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant in Coulsdon. 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 Coulsdon (CR5) addresses, with 26% one-person households here.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Coulsdon CR5?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across CR5, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Coulsdon most weeks on the streets near Farthing Downs, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Coulsdon?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Croydon, with 22% of homes here being flats.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Coulsdon doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on CR5 jobs. With 22% of Coulsdon homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Croydon, with Croydon parking rules in play — and this being a short walk from Coulsdon South (Southern), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in hotel clearance in Coulsdon?
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, with 6,754 households on this patch — and 26% one-person households here, 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 on Croydon bookings, 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 Coulsdon CR5 price you agree is the price you pay in Coulsdon, with 26% one-person households here.
Who books hotel clearance in Coulsdon CR5 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 12% of Coulsdon privately rented and 74% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Farthing Downs — and this being a short walk from Coulsdon South (Southern), with Farthing Downs a few streets away.
How quickly can you reach Coulsdon from your Croydon round?
Farthing Downs is the marker we route to on the Coulsdon rounds, with 74% owner-occupation locally, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. A CR5 slot added to an existing Croydon round usually lands the same week rather than the next on CR5 jobs, with 14% social-rented stock nearby.
