Lewisham · SE4 · Hotel clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Brockley fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking hotel clearance near Hilly Fields Park? Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £85 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices hotel clearance for Brockley SE4 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 6,905 households in total. Work starts at £85, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham 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. Brockley (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Brockley, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 6,905 households inside the SE4 neighbourhood in SE4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Brockley stock goes, where 39% 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. Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights.
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. |

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 Brockley
Brockley SE4 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 70% of homes here are flats and 30% are houses, across 6,905 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 30% private renting against 39% owner-occupied, most SE4 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Brockley substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Brockley, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 6,905 households inside the SE4 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Brockley stock goes, where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE4 customer twice.
Brockley 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 — conservation-area streets of large Victorian villas and the Hilly Fields view — which is why a SE4 quote is not a Lewisham average.
On access, steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights — 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 Brockley (Overground).

Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Brockley on this side of Lewisham, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 6,905 households on this patch, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant in this 70% 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 Brockley (Overground), with 70% of homes here being flats.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Brockley (SE4) addresses, with 70% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Brockley most weeks on the Brockley rounds, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
In Brockley, 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 streets near Hilly Fields Park, with 31% social-rented stock nearby. That covers hotel clearance on Brockley jobs too.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Lewisham bookings. With 70% of Brockley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 70% flats neighbourhood, with Hilly Fields Park a few streets away — and Lewisham parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Hilly Fields Park is the marker we route to on the streets near Hilly Fields Park, with 30% one-person households here, and steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights. A SE4 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next across SE4, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
