Fixed prices

Business clearance prices in Kensington and Chelsea

What a business clearance costs in Kensington and Chelsea. 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-specific additions here come from the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages.
Business clearance price guide for Kensington and Chelsea
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 Kensington and Chelsea

Why Kensington and Chelsea is not a generic London job

The Natural History Museum and Notting Hill's Portobello Road is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Kensington and Chelsea.

The housing stock

The stock in Kensington and Chelsea is stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates, and the mix changes street by street — Bayswater (W2), Chelsea (SW3) and Earl's Court (SW5) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

On the ground, some of the tightest cpzs in london, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Locally that means hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups and cadogan estate parking rules, king's road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea rules

Fly-tipping enforcement in Kensington and Chelsea lands on whoever produced the waste, not on the carrier, whenever it is handed to someone unlicensed. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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

Kensington and Chelsea took its present shape because market gardens turned into the great exhibition's albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the victorian wealthy.

Scope

What's included in Kensington and Chelsea

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bayswater or Westbourne Park.

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 Kensington and Chelsea booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Kensington and Chelsea 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 Kensington and Chelsea — your questions

  • How much does a business clearance cost in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Single desk, chair or cabinet starts at £45 in Kensington and Chelsea, 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Kensington and Chelsea postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SW10, SW3, SW5, SW7, W10, W11, W14, W2 and W8. On the ground that includes Bayswater, Chelsea, Earl's Court, Holland Park, Kensington and Ladbroke Grove.

  • How quickly can you get to Kensington and Chelsea?

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

  • What about parking and permits in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Some of the tightest CPZs in London, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

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

    Yes. Stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the Lancaster West and World's End estates 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 Kensington and Chelsea?

    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 Kensington and Chelsea 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 Kensington and Chelsea 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 Kensington and Chelsea, 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.
