Overview
This page prices hotel clearance for Kennington SE11 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 25% privately rented and 8,644 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. Kennington (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SE11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kennington, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 8,644 households inside the SE11 neighbourhood in SE11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Kennington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 28% 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. Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step 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.

Working in Kennington
8,644 households sit inside the SE11 neighbourhood covering Kennington. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 88% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (28% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SE11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kennington, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 8,644 households inside the SE11 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SE11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Kennington gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Kennington 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 — georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them — which is why a SE11 quote is not a Lambeth average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. Kennington (Northern) 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 Kennington around Kennington (Northern), with 8,644 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 38% one-person households here, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant in Kennington.
