Lewisham · SE6 · Business clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Catford fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for business clearance in Catford SE6? We work in Catford most weeks — the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops — 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
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Catford, business clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 62% of Catford's 6,981 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE6 shape the slot length we hold.
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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Catford stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat.
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 Catford
In Catford (SE6) the split is 62% flats to 38% houses over 6,981 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 33% of Catford is privately rented and 25% socially rented, a lot of SE6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Catford stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat.
The fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. That character decides the practical detail of business clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Catford (Southeastern) 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 Catford around Catford (Southeastern), with The Catford Cat a few streets away, 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 in Catford, with 62% of homes here being flats, 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 the Catford rounds, with 25% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near The Catford Cat, with 42% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Catford most weeks on SE6 jobs, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near The Catford Cat, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Lewisham bookings. With 62% of Catford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with 33% one-person households here — and this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 62% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), and catering gas equipment left connected; Confidential paper shredding beyond one tonne on this side of Lewisham, which is booked as a separate secure service. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Catford SE6 price you agree is the price you pay in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with 42% owner-occupation locally.
All three. With 33% of Catford privately rented and 42% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 62% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with 33% one-person households here.
The Catford Cat is the marker we route to around Catford (Southeastern), with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, and south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
