Lewisham · SE12 · Business clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Lee fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking business clearance near The Manor House and its gardens? Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices business clearance for Lee SE12 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 22% privately rented and 6,151 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham 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. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Lee (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, the pattern behind 6,151 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood in SE12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Lee gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 38 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 Lee
Lee SE12 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 39% of homes here are flats and 60% are houses, across 6,151 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 22% of Lee is privately rented and 18% socially rented, a lot of SE12 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Lee substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, the pattern behind 6,151 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Lee gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SE12 customer twice.
Manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses. That character decides the practical detail of business clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Lee is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays — 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 Lee (Southeastern).
