Greenwich · SE10 · Hotel clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Greenwich fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide hotel clearance in Greenwich SE10 for houses and flats around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark. From £85, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Hotel clearance in Greenwich SE10 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Greenwich, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 17,397 households sit inside this SE10 patch, 73% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark rather than a London average.
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
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. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE10, 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 Greenwich stock goes, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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.
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. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
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 →

Working in Greenwich
Greenwich SE10 is Georgian and early Victorian and mixed-tenure: 73% of homes here are flats and 27% are houses, across 17,397 households (ONS Census 2021).
The mixed-tenure mix here (40% owned, 31% privately rented) means a SE10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Greenwich substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE10 customer twice.
Greenwich 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 — world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill — which is why a SE10 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access — 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.

Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Greenwich around Cutty Sark (DLR), with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant in Greenwich. 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 this side of Greenwich, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenwich most weeks, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Greenwich bookings, with 73% of homes here being flats.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark. With 73% of Greenwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Greenwich (SE10) addresses, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away — and 27% of Greenwich homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is the marker we route to across SE10 — and 29% social-rented stock nearby, with 73% of homes here being flats, and cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Greenwich rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
