Fixed prices

Business clearance prices in Greenwich

These are the Greenwich floor prices for a business clearance. Volume leaving the unit, how much of it is fixed rather than loose, 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 this borough the additional variables are ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Business clearance price guide for Greenwich
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Single desk, chair or cabinet£4520–40 minPriced per item because a single redundant workstation does not need a full van booked for it.
Quarter-load commercial part-clear£1401 hrCharged on volume plus the commercial transfer-station gate fee, which is higher than the domestic rate.
Small office or shop unit, full clear£4203–5 hrsDesks, chairs, racking and loose stock out in one visit, worked around the building's permitted loading hours.
Retail or salon strip-out to shell£6801 dayFixtures, counters and shelving come out in sections, and fit-out timber and plasterboard are separate waste streams.
Warehouse or storage unit clear£8801–2 daysPallet 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/unitBy volumeEvery drive is logged, wiped or shredded to a certificate, which is a per-unit cost regardless of the load size.

All business clearance prices are quoted plus VAT at 20% and invoiced to the company, with the waste transfer note and any WEEE or data-destruction certificates attached. Where a bay suspension, permit, out-of-hours access, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote before the crew is booked.

Working in Greenwich

Why Greenwich is not a generic London job

The Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Greenwich.

The housing stock

The stock in Greenwich is georgian terraces in west greenwich, 1930s eltham semis, woolwich estates and peninsula high-rise, and the mix changes street by street — Abbey Wood (SE2), Blackheath (SE3) and Charlton (SE7) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Royal Borough of Greenwich sets the constraint: cobbled and one-way streets in the world heritage core, blackwall tunnel approach red routes, and tower-block lift booking on the peninsula. Locally that means steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts and conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

Royal Borough of Greenwich rules

Fly-tipping enforcement in Greenwich lands on whoever produced the waste, not on the carrier, whenever it is handed to someone unlicensed. Royal Borough of Greenwich does trace loads back. Every collection we run leaves with a waste transfer note in your name carrying our carrier registration number.

How the borough got this way

Royal palace and naval hospital on the river, arsenal at Woolwich; the Peninsula's gasworks became the O2 and new districts. That history is why Greenwich property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Greenwich

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Abbey Wood or Woolwich.

Included in the price

  • Two to four crew depending on the unit, all carrying, dismantling and loading
  • Pallet racking, shelving and partitioning taken down and removed in sections
  • Waste transfer note issued to the company on the day, plus WEEE evidence for IT and electricals
  • Data-bearing equipment logged by serial number and wiped or shredded to certificate
  • Usable desks, chairs and stock offered to London reuse and charity partners before recycling
  • Out-of-hours, weekend and pre-9am slots where the landlord or centre restricts loading times

Not included

  • 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, which is booked as a separate secure service

Method

How a Greenwich booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Greenwich job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. Step 1

    Site visit or a video walk-through

    For anything above a part-load we survey the unit, confirm access, lift capacity and the landlord's loading window.

  2. Step 2

    Written quote and dilapidations scope

    The quote separates clearance, WEEE, data destruction and any making-good so the schedule of dilapidations can be answered line by line.

  3. Step 3

    Access, insurance and RAMS

    Method statement, risk assessment and insurance certificates go to the building manager before the day. Nobody is turned away at the loading bay.

  4. Step 4

    Strip out in sequence

    Loose contents, then IT and data equipment, then furniture, then racking and fixtures — so the unit is never blocked by its own waste.

  5. Step 5

    Evidence pack

    Transfer note, WEEE evidence, destruction certificates and before-and-after photographs issued the same day for the landlord or agent.

Local questions

Business clearance in Greenwich — your questions

  • How much does a business clearance cost in Greenwich?

    Single desk, chair or cabinet starts at £45 in Greenwich, and the ladder runs up to £12/unit for the largest job on the table above. Volume leaving the unit, how much of it is fixed rather than loose, 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Greenwich postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SE10, SE18, SE2, SE28, SE3, SE7 and SE9. On the ground that includes Abbey Wood, Blackheath, Charlton, Eltham, Greenwich and Greenwich Peninsula.

  • How quickly can you get to Greenwich?

    Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Greenwich?

    Cobbled and one-way streets in the World Heritage core, Blackwall Tunnel approach red routes, and tower-block lift booking on the Peninsula. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Greenwich and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Greenwich flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Georgian terraces in West Greenwich, 1930s Eltham semis, Woolwich estates and Peninsula high-rise 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.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Greenwich?

    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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what Royal Borough of Greenwich tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Greenwich postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 and Refrigeration with pressurised systems, and catering gas equipment left connected. If something on that list turns up in Greenwich, 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.
