Overview
Hotel clearance in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 4,944 households sit inside this SW14 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Boat Race finishing post 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
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. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.
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. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW14, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Mortlake (South Western) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
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. |

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.
