Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Holland Park fitters · Fixed written pricesHotel clearance for Holland Park (W11) households — 3,387 of them, 80% in flats. From £85 fixed, 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 Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Holland Park, hotel clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £85. With 80% of Holland Park's 3,387 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W11 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors.
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. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 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 — a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Holland Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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.

Working in Holland Park
Walk Holland Park from Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden outwards and the period conversion pattern is obvious: 80% of the 3,387 households in W11 live in flats, 20% in houses.
43% of households rent privately and 40% own, which is why hotel clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in W11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Holland Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Holland Park knows the pattern near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden: wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum. We plan the W11 visit around it. Holland Park 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, driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors — 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 Holland Park (Central).

Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Holland Park on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play — and 40% 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 37% one-person households here, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant for Holland Park (W11) addresses. A guest-floor strip-out is quick per room; a back-of-house kitchen clear is slower because of degassing and specialist WEEE routing in Holland Park, with 3,387 households on this patch.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on W11 jobs, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Holland Park most weeks around Holland Park (Central), with 80% 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 the Holland Park rounds, with this being a short walk from Holland Park (Central).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Holland Park. With 80% of Holland Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Kensington and Chelsea — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Holland Park (Central), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 43% of Holland Park privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the W11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Holland Park (W11) addresses — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, with 3,387 households on this patch.
Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden is the marker we route to across W11, with 20% of Holland Park homes being houses, and driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. A W11 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away.
Three to five working days for a phased refurbishment schedule, next day for a small room-block clear on W11 jobs, with this being a short walk from Holland Park (Central). Full closures are planned around the handover date agreed with the operator on the Holland Park rounds. Holland Park sits close to Holland Park (Central) across W11, with 17% social-rented stock nearby — and 3,387 households on this patch, so we can usually add a W11 job to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round at short notice.
