Lewisham · SE13 · Hotel clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Lewisham fitters · Fixed written pricesHotel clearance in Lewisham SE13, Lewisham, from £85. The market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers, which is why our SE13 quotes account for roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Lewisham, hotel clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £85. With 75% of Lewisham's 3,987 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE13 shape the slot length we hold.
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
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE13, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Lewisham Market on the High Street in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE13, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.
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. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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.

Lewisham substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE13, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Lewisham Market on the High Street. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SE13, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a SE13 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Lewisham: the market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. Nearest station is Lewisham (DLR, 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 Lewisham around Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), with 35% 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 32% owner-occupation locally, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant in this 75% 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 on this side of Lewisham, with this being a short walk from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), with Lewisham Market on the High Street a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Lewisham most weeks across SE13, with 33% of SE13 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 Lewisham rounds, with Lewisham Market on the High Street a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 75% flats neighbourhood. With 75% of Lewisham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Lewisham bookings, with 36% one-person households here — and 25% of Lewisham homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every visit around Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), with 32% owner-occupation locally, 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 on SE13 jobs, with this being a short walk from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope; Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric — and 35% social-rented stock nearby, which need a licensed removal contractor; Live catering gas or electrical disconnection on this side of Lewisham, with Lewisham parking rules in play, 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 Lewisham SE13 price you agree is the price you pay in this 75% flats neighbourhood, with 75% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 33% of Lewisham privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SE13 jobs — and this being a short walk from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), with 75% of homes here being flats.
