Southwark · SE15 · Business clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Nunhead fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide business clearance in Nunhead SE15 for houses and flats around Nunhead Cemetery. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Nunhead, business clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 58% of Nunhead's 7,127 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE15 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
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted. Nunhead (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit, and with 30% one-person households in Nunhead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE15, 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 Nunhead stock goes, the reality on the streets around Nunhead Cemetery.
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. Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
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 Nunhead
7,127 households sit inside the SE15 neighbourhood covering Nunhead. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 58% of those homes are flats.
Because 20% of Nunhead is privately rented and 39% socially rented, a lot of SE15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Nunhead substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit, and with 30% one-person households in Nunhead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. 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 Nunhead stock goes, the reality on the streets around Nunhead Cemetery is the mistake that costs a SE15 customer twice.
Nunhead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — cemetery, hill views and a quiet village green between Peckham and Brockley — which is why a SE15 quote is not a Southwark average.
Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Nunhead (Southeastern), 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 Nunhead on the Nunhead rounds, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory, 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 SE15 jobs, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, 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 in this 58% flats neighbourhood, with Southwark parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Southwark bookings, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Nunhead most weeks in this 58% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE15, with 7,127 households on this patch.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SE15 jobs. With 58% of Nunhead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Nunhead rounds — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with 58% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Nunhead Cemetery is the marker we route to across SE15, with Nunhead Cemetery a few streets away, and steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. A SE15 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Southwark, with 20% of SE15 homes being privately rented.
Same-week across every borough, with lease-end and dilapidations deadlines booked ahead and out-of-hours slots available where loading is restricted on Southwark bookings, with 7,127 households on this patch.
