Overview
This page prices hotel clearance for Catford SE6 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 6,981 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. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Catford, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
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 Catford
6,981 households sit inside the SE6 neighbourhood covering Catford. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 62% of those homes are flats.
Because 33% of Catford is privately rented and 25% socially rented, a lot of SE6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Catford, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Catford gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Catford 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 — the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops — which is why a SE6 quote is not a Lewisham average.
South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Nearest station is Catford (Southeastern), 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 Catford across SE6, with 25% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 38% of Catford homes being houses, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant on the Catford rounds. 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 SE6 jobs, with The Catford Cat a few streets away.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Catford rounds, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Catford most weeks on Lewisham bookings, with 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented.
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 Catford rounds, with 42% owner-occupation locally.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 62% flats neighbourhood. With 62% of Catford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Lewisham, with 38% of Catford homes being houses — and The Catford Cat a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind across SE6. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lewisham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Lewisham — and 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every visit on the streets near The Catford Cat, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with F-gas certified degassing arranged for catering refrigeration and WEEE routing for in-room electricals. That paperwork is what most Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Catford (SE6) addresses, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, with Lewisham parking rules in play, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope; Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric, which need a licensed removal contractor; Live catering gas or electrical disconnection on the Catford rounds, which must be certified by a qualified engineer first; Storage of removed FF&E — we clear and dispose or recycle, we do not warehouse items for reuse. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Catford SE6 price you agree is the price you pay for Catford (SE6) addresses, with 62% of homes here being flats.
