London business clearance · Central London
Business clearance across Westminster, from NW1, NW8 and SW1 outwards. Government, embassies and West End retail beside stucco Belgravia terraces and Church Street market flats, and that is what shapes every quote we write 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. |

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 Westminster
What our crews walk into in Westminster is grade-listed stucco terraces, mansion blocks, peabody estates and prime new-build around victoria, and the mix changes street by street — Belgravia (SW1), Covent Garden (WC2) and Fitzrovia (W1) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, congestion charge, ulez, dense cpzs operating to 18:30 and beyond — most jobs need a suspended bay or dispensation. Locally that means estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection and pedestrianised piazza with timed vehicle access only, and narrow stairs above shops. Part of Westminster sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Westminster City Council runs bulky-waste collections and a reuse and recycling centre, and for one or two items in Westminster that is a fair option. It stops being useful on size limits, same-week deadlines and anything lifted out of a commercial unit or a communal area — those are the loads we take, under our waste carrier licence, with a transfer note issued on the day.
Grew from the abbey and royal court; the Grosvenor and Portman estates laid out the stucco squares still standing today. That history is why Westminster property behaves the way it does today.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Whole-property clears, probate and end-of-tenancy strip-outs, sorted room by room.
Mixed household and bulky waste taken by the load with a transfer note the same day.
Sofas, beds, wardrobes and mattresses collected per item, dismantling included.
Single items, part-loads, garden waste and office strip-outs across the borough.
Scheduled cleaning for offices, shops and communal areas.
A van and driver for the load you have, priced by size rather than by guesswork.
Single desk, chair or cabinet starts at £45 in Westminster, 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.
We cover the whole borough: NW1, NW8, SW1, SW7, W1, W2, W9, WC1 and WC2. On the ground that includes Belgravia, Covent Garden, Fitzrovia, Knightsbridge, Maida Vale and Marylebone.
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.
Congestion Charge, ULEZ, dense CPZs operating to 18:30 and beyond — most jobs need a suspended bay or dispensation. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Westminster City Council and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Grade-listed stucco terraces, mansion blocks, Peabody estates and prime new-build around Victoria 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.
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 Westminster City Council tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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 Westminster postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 Westminster, 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.
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 →
