Greenwich · SE3 · Hotel clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Blackheath fitters · Fixed written pricesBlackheath SE3 is a regular stop on our Greenwich round. The heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass, so hotel clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £85, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices hotel clearance for Blackheath SE3 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 32% privately rented and 2,884 households in total. Work starts at £85, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
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.
Why choose us
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. Conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases.
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. Blackheath (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around Blackheath and the Paragon in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
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. |

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 →

Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around Blackheath and the Paragon behind the plaster in SE3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Blackheath knows the pattern near Blackheath and the Paragon: the heath, the village and Georgian terraces facing open grass. We plan the SE3 visit around it. Blackheath is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. Blackheath (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and 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.

Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Blackheath across SE3, with 17% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 51% owner-occupation locally, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant around Blackheath (Southeastern). A guest-floor strip-out is quick per room; a back-of-house kitchen clear is slower because of degassing and specialist WEEE routing on SE3 jobs, with this being a short walk from Blackheath (Southeastern).
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across SE3, with 51% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Blackheath most weeks on this side of Greenwich, with 2,884 households on this patch.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Blackheath (SE3) addresses, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Blackheath rounds. With 64% of Blackheath homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SE3 jobs, with 36% one-person households here — and 32% of SE3 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every visit on the Blackheath rounds, with Blackheath and the Paragon a few streets away, with F-gas certified degassing arranged for catering refrigeration and WEEE routing for in-room electricals. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across SE3, with 36% of Blackheath homes being houses.
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, with this being a short walk from Blackheath (Southeastern) — and 36% 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 across SE3, 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 Blackheath SE3 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Greenwich, with 51% owner-occupation locally.
All three. With 32% of Blackheath privately rented and 51% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Greenwich, with 51% owner-occupation locally — and 36% of Blackheath homes being houses.
