Overview
This page prices hotel clearance for Herne Hill SE24 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 19% privately rented and 3,150 households in total. Work starts at £85, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Southwark permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets.
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. Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE24 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Brockwell Park and Lido in SE24, 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 on these streets — and railway-bridge height limits on half moon lane and permit-only side streets.
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.

Working in Herne Hill
The SE24 stock around Brockwell Park and Lido is mainly Victorian. ONS records 27% flats, 73% houses and 3,150 households in Herne Hill.
Private renting sits at 19% and owner-occupation at 69%; 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 — the reality on the streets around Brockwell Park and Lido behind the plaster in SE24. 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 on these streets — and railway-bridge height limits on half moon lane and permit-only side streets is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Herne Hill knows the pattern near Brockwell Park and Lido: brockwell Park, the velodrome and a compact village of independents. We plan the SE24 visit around it. Herne Hill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern).

Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Herne Hill on Southwark bookings — and 19% of SE24 homes being privately rented, with Southwark parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Room count and lift access first, with 20% one-person households here, then the mix of soft furnishings against fixed catering plant in this 27% 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 SE24 jobs, with 19% of SE24 homes being privately rented.
