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
This page prices hotel clearance for Brixton SW9 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 16,254 households in total. Work starts at £85, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lambeth 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. Brixton (Victoria, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a SW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Brixton, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Brixton (Victoria, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map in SW9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Brixton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Brixton actually produces.
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. Market and nightlife congestion, red routes on the A23 and permit-only side streets.
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.

Working in Brixton
16,254 households sit inside the SW9 neighbourhood covering Brixton. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 80% of those homes are flats.
Because 30% of Brixton is privately rented and 39% socially rented, a lot of SW9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Brixton, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Brixton (Victoria, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SW9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Brixton gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Brixton actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Brixton sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — market arcades, the Academy and one of the most culturally significant high streets in London — which is why a SW9 quote is not a Lambeth average.
On access, market and nightlife congestion, red routes on the A23 and permit-only side streets — 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 Brixton (Victoria, National Rail).

Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Brixton in this 80% flats neighbourhood, with 80% of homes here being flats, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant on Lambeth bookings. 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 the Brixton rounds, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Brixton (Victoria, National Rail), with 80% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Brixton most weeks on SW9 jobs, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SW9 jobs, with 31% owner-occupation locally.

With 80% of Brixton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Brixton (SW9) addresses — and 16,254 households on this patch, with 31% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Brixton Village and Electric Avenue is the marker we route to around Brixton (Victoria, National Rail), with this being a short walk from Brixton (Victoria, National Rail), and market and nightlife congestion, red routes on the A23 and permit-only side streets.
