London hotel clearance · Central London
Hotel clearance across Westminster, from NW1, NW8 and SW1 outwards. Government, embassies and West End retail beside stucco Belgravia terraces and Church Street market flats, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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. |

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.
Hotel clearance is quoted plus VAT at 20% after a walk-round of the affected rooms or floors. Mattress and WEEE disposal, transfer notes and gate fees are included. Loading bay suspensions, out-of-hours surcharges and F-gas degassing certificates are itemised on the quote.
Working in Westminster
The stock in Westminster is grade-listed stucco terraces, mansion blocks, peabody estates and prime new-build around victoria, and the mix changes street by street — Belgravia (SW1), Covent Garden (WC2) and Fitzrovia (W1) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, congestion charge, ulez, dense cpzs operating to 18:30 and beyond — most jobs need a suspended bay or dispensation. Locally that means estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection and pedestrianised piazza with timed vehicle access only, and narrow stairs above shops. Part of Westminster sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Hotels refurbishing a wing in Westminster rarely have a service yard big enough to hold a skip, so Westminster City Council treats the loading bay or a metered bay outside as the only realistic place to work from. We book the suspension or the loading window around housekeeping's own turnaround times rather than guessing at a slot.
Grew from the abbey and royal court; the Grosvenor and Portman estates laid out the stucco squares still standing today. That history is why Westminster property behaves the way it does today.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
The parent commercial silo — offices, units, shops and estate handovers.
Desks, chairs, bedroom and FF&E furniture removed per item or per load.
Mixed loads collected by volume with a same-day waste transfer note.
Fridges, catering plant and powered equipment removed under WEEE rules.
Guest room strip-out, per room starts at £85 in Westminster, and the ladder runs up to £1,150 for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: NW1, NW8, SW1, SW7, W1, W2, W9, WC1 and WC2. On the ground that includes Belgravia, Covent Garden, Fitzrovia, Knightsbridge, Maida Vale and Marylebone.
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. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Congestion Charge, ULEZ, dense CPZs operating to 18:30 and beyond — most jobs need a suspended bay or dispensation. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Westminster City Council and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Grade-listed stucco terraces, mansion blocks, Peabody estates and prime new-build around Victoria is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what Westminster City Council tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Westminster postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Structural strip-out or demolition of fixed partitions, which is a specialist fit-out contractor's scope, Asbestos-containing materials in older hotel fabric, which need a licensed removal contractor and Live catering gas or electrical disconnection, which must be certified by a qualified engineer first. If something on that list turns up in Westminster, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
