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
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Sanderstead (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in CR2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in CR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Sanderstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight.
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 Sanderstead
3,008 households sit inside the CR2 neighbourhood covering Sanderstead. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 15% of those homes are flats.
Because 10% of Sanderstead is privately rented and 2% socially rented, a lot of CR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick in CR2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in CR2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Sanderstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Sanderstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — hilltop village with a green, a church and wide views over the downs — which is why a CR2 quote is not a Croydon average.
Wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight. Nearest station is Sanderstead (Southern), 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.
