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. Seven-day CPZ, no off-street parking on the Georgian streets and steep basement access.
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Angel (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Angel, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Angel (Northern) 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 Angel
The N1 stock around The Business Design Centre and Camden Passage is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 75% flats, 25% houses and 4,920 households in Angel.
37% of households rent privately and 34% own, which is why business clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Angel, with solid brick on the party and external walls — and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Angel is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Angel (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Angel knows the pattern near The Business Design Centre and Camden Passage: upper Street's bars and theatres, canal basin flats and Georgian squares. We plan the N1 visit around it. Angel sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: seven-day CPZ, no off-street parking on the Georgian streets and steep basement access. Angel (Northern) 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 Angel on Islington bookings, with 38% one-person households here, 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 the streets near The Business Design Centre and Camden Passage, with 4,920 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 N1 jobs, with 75% of homes here being flats.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Islington, with 75% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Angel most weeks in this 75% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Islington territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Angel (N1) addresses, with this being a short walk from Angel (Northern).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Angel rounds. With 75% of Angel homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on N1 jobs, with this being London Borough of Islington territory — and 37% of N1 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for commercial waste across N1. IT and electricals go to an approved WEEE treatment site with evidence returned, data-bearing media is wiped or shredded to certificate on the streets near The Business Design Centre and Camden Passage — and 25% of Angel homes being houses, with 29% social-rented stock nearby, and every load leaves with a transfer note issued to the company. That paperwork is what most Islington letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on N1 jobs, with 37% of N1 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 75% of homes here being flats — and 29% social-rented stock nearby, and catering gas equipment left connected; Confidential paper shredding beyond one tonne in this 75% flats neighbourhood, which is booked as a separate secure service. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Angel N1 price you agree is the price you pay on Islington bookings, with this being London Borough of Islington territory.
All three. With 37% of Angel privately rented and 34% owner-occupied, roughly half the N1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Angel — and 75% of homes here being flats, with 4,920 households on this patch.
