Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around East Dulwich, hotel clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £85. With 43% of East Dulwich's 3,337 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE22 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 some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE22, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) 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.
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 terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.
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. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE22 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. |

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.

Working in East Dulwich
The SE22 stock around Dulwich Park is mainly Victorian. ONS records 43% flats, 57% houses and 3,337 households in East Dulwich.
Private renting sits at 25% and owner-occupation at 58%; the first group books hotel clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in SE22. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE22, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in East Dulwich: lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. East Dulwich sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. East Dulwich (Thameslink) 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.

Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in East Dulwich across SE22 — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with 3,337 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.
