Overview
Hotel clearance in Kew TW9, explained
This page prices hotel clearance for Kew TW9 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 30% privately rented and 4,163 households in total. Work starts at £85, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How hotel clearance works in Kew
Five steps, the same on every TW9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In TW9, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — the pattern behind 4,163 households inside the TW9 neighbourhood 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 Kew customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Kew 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. Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages.
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. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a TW9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kew walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in Kew, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in TW9, 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 Kew stock goes, where 64% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Hotel clearance prices in Kew
Fixed prices for TW9 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 Kew
The same scope across TW9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Kew: room-by-room or floor-by-floor scheduling that works around occupied guest floors and housekeeping rounds, timed against the walk in from Kew Gardens (District, Overground)
- On TW9 jobs: mattress and soft furnishing disposal through a dedicated recycling stream, not general waste, agreed on the doorstep in Kew before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: wEEE-compliant removal of televisions, minibars and in-room electricals, allowing for the 30% of TW9 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- F-gas certified degassing arranged before any catering refrigeration is removed, noted on the Kew job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Kew: waste transfer note issued after every visit, itemised by floor or room block, sized for the narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages
- On TW9 jobs: dust sheets and corridor protection used throughout so guest areas are not marked, local hotel clearance included
Not included
- Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope, outside the fixed price on Kew bookings
- Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric, which need a licensed removal contractor, and we will say so before the TW9 visit rather than on the day
- Live catering gas or electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified engineer first, handled by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead
- Storage of removed FF&E — we clear and dispose or recycle, we do not warehouse items for reuse, which we refer on to the right trade in Kew

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.

Kew TW9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kew — the numbers that actually change a hotel clearance quote.
In Kew (TW9) the split is 41% flats to 59% houses over 4,163 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 30% private renting against 64% owner-occupied, most TW9 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Kew, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Kew is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kew stock goes, where 64% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
The botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them. That character decides the practical detail of hotel clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Kew is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages. Kew Gardens (District, Overground) is the nearest station, 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.

Common questions
Hotel clearance in Kew TW9 — your questions.
How much does hotel clearance cost in Kew TW9?
Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Kew on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with Kew Gardens a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 41% of homes here being flats, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant on TW9 jobs. 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 the streets near Kew Gardens, with 6% social-rented stock nearby.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Kew TW9?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Kew Gardens (District, Overground), with 64% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kew most weeks on TW9 jobs, with this being a short walk from Kew Gardens (District, Overground).
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Kew?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Kew (TW9) addresses, with Kew Gardens a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Kew doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Kew. With 41% of Kew homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Kew Gardens (District, Overground), with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Kew?
Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages for Kew (TW9) addresses. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near Kew Gardens — and this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory, with 30% of TW9 homes being privately rented.
Are your fitters insured for work in TW9?
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every visit on the streets near Kew Gardens, with Kew Gardens a few streets away, with F-gas certified degassing arranged for catering refrigeration and WEEE routing for in-room electricals. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Kew (TW9) addresses, with 59% of Kew homes being houses.
What is not included in hotel clearance in Kew?
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, with 30% one-person households here, 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 in Kew — and 59% of Kew homes being houses, 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 Kew TW9 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.
