Lewisham · SE12 · Hotel clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Lee fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide hotel clearance in Lee SE12 for houses and flats around The Manor House and its gardens. 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
Hotel clearance in Lee SE12 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,151 households sit inside this SE12 patch, 39% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Manor House and its gardens rather than a London average.
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. Lee (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Lee (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Lee stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.
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. 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. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →

Working in Lee
6,151 households sit inside the SE12 neighbourhood covering Lee. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 39% of those homes are flats.
Because 22% of Lee is privately rented and 18% socially rented, a lot of SE12 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Lee (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE12. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Lee stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Lee 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 — manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses — which is why a SE12 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. Nearest station is Lee (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 Lee for Lee (SE12) addresses, with 18% 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 60% of Lee homes being houses, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant on the streets near The Manor House and its gardens. 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 Lee (Southeastern), with this being a short walk from Lee (Southeastern).
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across SE12, with 60% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Lee most weeks on the streets near The Manor House and its gardens, with this being a short walk from Lee (Southeastern).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Lee, with 18% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Lewisham. With 39% of Lee homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SE12 — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with 60% of Lee homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays in Lee. 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 for Lee (SE12) addresses — and 18% social-rented stock nearby, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every visit across SE12, with 18% social-rented stock nearby, 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 around Lee (Southeastern), with 60% owner-occupation locally.
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope; Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric, with 22% of SE12 homes being privately rented, which need a licensed removal contractor; Live catering gas or electrical disconnection across SE12 — and 27% one-person households here, 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 Lee SE12 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Lewisham, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
