Greenwich · SE28 · Business clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Thamesmead fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for business clearance in Thamesmead SE28? We work in Thamesmead most weeks — brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of London's biggest regeneration programmes — and price business clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices business clearance for Thamesmead SE28 specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 7,133 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads.
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE28 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE28, often with surface conduit, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE28, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Thamesmead stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 Thamesmead
Thamesmead SE28 is post-war and social-housing-led: 47% of homes here are flats and 53% are houses, across 7,133 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 28% of Thamesmead is privately rented and 39% socially rented, a lot of SE28 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Thamesmead substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE28, often with surface conduit, and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Thamesmead stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SE28 customer twice.
Brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of London's biggest regeneration programmes. That character decides the practical detail of business clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Thamesmead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads — 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 Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line).

Single desk, chair or cabinet starts at £45 in Thamesmead across SE28, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, 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 on this side of Greenwich, with 7,133 households on this patch, 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 on SE28 jobs, with 47% of homes here being flats.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 47% flats neighbourhood, with Greenwich parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Thamesmead most weeks on this side of Greenwich, with 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Thamesmead, with 32% owner-occupation locally.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Greenwich bookings. With 47% of Thamesmead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 47% flats neighbourhood — and Southmere Lake a few streets away, with 47% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads on Greenwich bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the Thamesmead rounds — and Greenwich parking rules in play, with 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for commercial waste on SE28 jobs. IT and electricals go to an approved WEEE treatment site with evidence returned, data-bearing media is wiped or shredded to certificate on this side of Greenwich — and 47% of homes here being flats, with 39% social-rented stock nearby, and every load leaves with a transfer note issued to the company. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Thamesmead, with 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented.
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, with 29% one-person households here, and catering gas equipment left connected; Confidential paper shredding beyond one tonne around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) — and 47% of homes here being flats, which is booked as a separate secure service. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Thamesmead SE28 price you agree is the price you pay across SE28, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
