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
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.
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. Very steep private drives, narrow lanes and limited turning space.
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Kenley (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Kenley, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Kenley (Southern) rather than assumed from a map in CR8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Kenley gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 12% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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 Kenley
Kenley CR8 is post-war and owner-occupier-led: 21% of homes here are flats and 79% are houses, across 5,051 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 12% private renting against 76% owner-occupied, most CR8 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Kenley substrates run to solid London stock brick in Kenley, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Kenley (Southern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Kenley gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 12% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a CR8 customer twice.
Airfield common, wooded valleys and large houses on steep plots. That character decides the practical detail of business clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Kenley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: very steep private drives, narrow lanes and limited turning space. Kenley (Southern) is the nearest station, and 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.

Single desk, chair or cabinet starts at £45 in Kenley on CR8 jobs, with 5,051 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume leaving the unit, how much of it is fixed rather than loose around Kenley (Southern), with 21% one-person households here, and the building's loading window. A ground-floor unit with its own roller shutter clears in half the time of the same volume behind a shared service lift in Kenley, with Croydon parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 21% flats neighbourhood, with 21% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kenley most weeks for Kenley (CR8) addresses, with Kenley Aerodrome and Common a few streets away.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Kenley (Southern), with Kenley Aerodrome and Common a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Kenley rounds. With 21% of Kenley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across CR8 — and 12% social-rented stock nearby, with 21% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Very steep private drives, narrow lanes and limited turning space on CR8 jobs. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Croydon it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards around Kenley (Southern) — and Kenley Aerodrome and Common a few streets away, with 5,051 households on this patch.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for commercial waste on CR8 jobs. IT and electricals go to an approved WEEE treatment site with evidence returned, data-bearing media is wiped or shredded to certificate on the Kenley rounds, with 21% one-person households here — and a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood, and every load leaves with a transfer note issued to the company. That paperwork is what most Croydon letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Croydon bookings, with 5,051 households on this patch.
Asbestos-containing materials, which need a licensed removal contractor and an air clearance certificate; Structural demolition, floor slabs and anything requiring a temporary works design; Refrigeration with pressurised systems, and catering gas equipment left connected; Confidential paper shredding beyond one tonne on CR8 jobs, with 21% of homes here being flats — and 76% owner-occupation locally, which is booked as a separate secure service. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Kenley CR8 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Kenley Aerodrome and Common, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory.
