Overview
This page prices hotel clearance for Shoreditch E1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 37% privately rented and 3,361 households in total. Work starts at £85, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hackney 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
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. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Shoreditch gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts.
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 Shoreditch
3,361 households sit inside the E1 neighbourhood covering Shoreditch. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 98% of those homes are flats.
With 37% private renting against 20% owner-occupied, most E1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Shoreditch substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Shoreditch gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a E1 customer twice.
Shoreditch 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 — warehouse offices, rooftop bars and Boxpark on the City fringe — which is why a E1 quote is not a Hackney average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) 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 Shoreditch on this side of Hackney, with Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street 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 37% of E1 homes being privately rented, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant in this 98% flats neighbourhood. A guest-floor strip-out is quick per room; a back-of-house kitchen clear is slower because of degassing and specialist WEEE routing around Shoreditch High Street (Overground), with this being a short walk from Shoreditch High Street (Overground).
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Hackney bookings, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Shoreditch most weeks in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 98% of homes here being flats.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Hackney bookings, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood. On Shoreditch jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Hackney. With 98% of Shoreditch homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across E1 — and 37% of E1 homes being privately rented, with 41% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts on the streets near Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Hackney it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Hackney bookings — and this being a short walk from Shoreditch High Street (Overground), with Hackney parking rules in play.
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every visit on this side of Hackney, with this being a short walk from Shoreditch High Street (Overground), with F-gas certified degassing arranged for catering refrigeration and WEEE routing for in-room electricals. That paperwork is what most Hackney letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Shoreditch, with 37% of E1 homes being privately rented.
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, with 2% of Shoreditch homes being houses — and 98% of homes here being flats, 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 around Shoreditch High Street (Overground), 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 Shoreditch E1 price you agree is the price you pay in Shoreditch, with Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street a few streets away.
