Overview
Hotel clearance in Bellingham and Downham SE6, explained
Hotel clearance in Bellingham and Downham SE6 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them post-war. 3,351 households sit inside this SE6 patch, 32% of them flats, so we quote on access near Beckenham Place Park nearby rather than a London average.
How it works
How hotel clearance works in Bellingham and Downham
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Walk-round and room count
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
Access and timing agreed with the hotel
Loading bay windows and guest-floor restrictions confirmed with management so a strip-out never runs into check-in or checkout hours.
Step 3
Mattress, FF&E and WEEE separated
Soft furnishings, case goods and electricals split at the point of removal so each stream goes to the correct facility.
Step 4
Phased removal
Rooms or floors cleared in the agreed sequence, protecting corridors and lifts still in guest use.
Step 5
Sign-off and transfer notes
Photographs of the cleared areas and a waste transfer note for every load returned to the hotel's facilities manager.
Why choose us
Why Bellingham and Downham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Bellingham and Downham wall.
Crew sized to the job
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. Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a Luton.
Booked around your day
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. Bellingham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Bellingham and Downham walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE6, often with surface conduit, and with 31% one-person households in Bellingham and Downham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Bellingham and Downham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Hotel clearance prices in Bellingham and Downham
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. Room count and lift access first, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant. A guest-floor strip-out is quick per room; a back-of-house kitchen clear is slower because of degassing and specialist WEEE routing.
| 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
What's included in Bellingham and Downham
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: room-by-room or floor-by-floor scheduling that works around occupied guest floors and housekeeping rounds, with 3,351 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Mattress and soft furnishing disposal through a dedicated recycling stream, not general waste, checked on every SE6 visit
- In Bellingham and Downham: wEEE-compliant removal of televisions, minibars and in-room electricals, sized for the wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a luton
- On SE6 jobs: f-gas certified degassing arranged before any catering refrigeration is removed, hotel clearance included
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: waste transfer note issued after every visit, itemised by floor or room block, allowing for the 22% of SE6 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Dust sheets and corridor protection used throughout so guest areas are not marked, noted on the Bellingham and Downham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope, which we refer on to the right trade in Bellingham and Downham
- Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric, which need a licensed removal contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6
- Live catering gas or electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified engineer first, and we will say so before the SE6 visit rather than on the day
- Storage of removed FF&E — we clear and dispose or recycle, we do not warehouse items for reuse, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead

Will a built wardrobe fit through a Bellingham and Downham doorway?
