Overview

How it works
Step 1
For anything above a part-load we survey the unit, confirm access, lift capacity and the landlord's loading window.
Step 2
The quote separates clearance, WEEE, data destruction and any making-good so the schedule of dilapidations can be answered line by line.
Step 3
Method statement, risk assessment and insurance certificates go to the building manager before the day. Nobody is turned away at the loading bay.
Step 4
Loose contents, then IT and data equipment, then furniture, then racking and fixtures — so the unit is never blocked by its own waste.
Step 5
Transfer note, WEEE evidence, destruction certificates and before-and-after photographs issued the same day for the landlord or agent.
Why choose us
Two crew and a Luton on a small office or shop unit; three to four crew with a 7.5-tonne vehicle on retail strip-outs, warehouses and racking removals. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 28% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Crayford actually produces in DA1, 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 — measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for commercial waste. IT and electricals go to an approved WEEE treatment site with evidence returned, data-bearing media is wiped or shredded to certificate, and every load leaves with a transfer note issued to the company.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single desk, chair or cabinet | £45 | 20–40 min | Priced per item because a single redundant workstation does not need a full van booked for it. |
| Quarter-load commercial part-clear | £140 | 1 hr | Charged on volume plus the commercial transfer-station gate fee, which is higher than the domestic rate. |
| Small office or shop unit, full clear | £420 | 3–5 hrs | Desks, chairs, racking and loose stock out in one visit, worked around the building's permitted loading hours. |
| Retail or salon strip-out to shell | £680 | 1 day | Fixtures, counters and shelving come out in sections, and fit-out timber and plasterboard are separate waste streams. |
| Warehouse or storage unit clear | £880 | 1–2 days | Pallet racking has to be dismantled safely before it can be loaded, which is labour rather than volume. |
| IT and WEEE collection with data destruction | £12/unit | By volume | Every drive is logged, wiped or shredded to a certificate, which is a per-unit cost regardless of the load size. |

Scope
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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 →

Working in Crayford
The DA1 stock around Crayford Greyhound Stadium is mainly Victorian. ONS records 28% flats, 72% houses and 9,135 households in Crayford.
16% of households rent privately and 57% own, which is why business clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 28% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Crayford actually produces behind the plaster in DA1. 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 — measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Crayford knows the pattern near Crayford Greyhound Stadium: the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. We plan the DA1 visit around it. Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way — one reason two crew and a Luton on a small office or shop unit; three to four crew with a 7.5-tonne vehicle on retail strip-outs, warehouses and racking removals. Fitters travelling in use Crayford (Southeastern).
