Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small unit clearance, up to 800 sq ft | £320 | 3–4 hrs | Shelving, till point and residual stock cleared from a small format unit such as a kiosk or convenience shop. |
| Gondola and shelving removal, per run | £45 | 20–30 min | Retail shelving is bolted and baseplate-fixed, taking longer to dismantle safely than to carry once it is down. |
| Till point and EPOS equipment removal | £60 | 20–30 min | Tills, card readers and back-office IT are WEEE-classified and are removed for certified data destruction where requested. |
| Branded signage and shopfront fascia removal | £280 | half day | External fascia often needs access equipment and, on a listed or conservation-area building, care not to damage the shopfront underneath. |
| Full unit clearance, 800–2,500 sq ft | £780 | 1 day | A mid-size unit with fixtures, stockroom and back-of-house furniture cleared in one visit to meet a lease exit date. |
| Residual stock destruction with certificate | £190 | 1–2 hrs | End-of-line or damaged stock destroyed rather than resold, with a certificate of destruction issued so branded goods do not resurface elsewhere. |

Working in Richmond upon Thames
The stock in Richmond upon Thames is georgian and victorian villas, edwardian terraces, mansion flats and riverside conversions, and the mix changes street by street — Barnes (SW13), Hampton and Hampton Hill (TW12) and Hampton Wick (TW11) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: conservation-area streets with narrow entrances, flood-zone riverside loading limits and strict cpzs in richmond and twickenham. Locally that means narrow village lanes, conservation-area limits and boat race day closures and riverside lanes are narrow and flood-prone; driveways elsewhere. Richmond upon Thames sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Shopfitting waste — gondola runs, till points, signage and shopfront glazing — does not go out with a shop's ordinary trade waste round in Richmond upon Thames, and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames can reject a load at the transfer station if it looks like construction debris rather than retail refuse. We segregate metal fixtures, timber shopfitting and general stock clearance on the van so each stream is billed and disposed of correctly.
Royal palaces at Richmond and Hampton Court set the tone; Georgian and Victorian villas followed the river and the railway. That history is why Richmond upon Thames property behaves the way it does today.
Scope
Method
Step 1
Fixtures, stock and signage listed with a keep, recycle or destroy decision against each so nothing usable is thrown out by mistake.
Step 2
Where the unit is still open, work is scheduled overnight or after close so customers are never affected.
Step 3
Gondolas, till points and back-of-house furniture removed by type, keeping steel, timber and electricals separate for correct disposal.
Step 4
External branding taken down carefully, particularly on conservation-area shopfronts where the original frontage has to stay undamaged.
Step 5
Unit swept, photographed and the transfer note and any destruction certificates issued for the exit file.
Coverage
Also in this borough

Fridges, catering plant and powered equipment removed under WEEE rules.
Small unit clearance, up to 800 sq ft starts at £320 in Richmond upon Thames, and the ladder runs up to £190 for the largest job on the table above. The amount of fixed shopfitting rather than floor area — a unit stripped back to a bare shell already is quicker and cheaper than one with a full gondola run and a fitted till counter still in place. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: SW13, SW14, SW15, TW1, TW10, TW11, TW12, TW2 and TW9. On the ground that includes Barnes, Hampton and Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick, Kew, Mortlake and East Sheen and Richmond.
Two to three working days for a scheduled unit clear, next day where a lease exit has moved forward. Overnight and out-of-hours slots are available for units still trading. West London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Conservation-area streets with narrow entrances, flood-zone riverside loading limits and strict CPZs in Richmond and Twickenham. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Georgian and Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces, mansion flats and riverside conversions 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 issuing a transfer note per visit, with certificates of destruction available for branded stock and WEEE routing for tills and EPOS hardware. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Richmond upon Thames tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
Two to three operatives for a small or mid-size unit, with access equipment booked separately for fascia and signage above ground floor level. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Richmond upon Thames postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Reinstatement of the shopfront, flooring or ceiling once fixtures are removed, Alarm, CCTV or till system decommissioning with the provider, which is arranged separately and Scaffold or a road closure for fascia work above the first floor, which is quoted as its own line. If something on that list turns up in Richmond upon Thames, 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.
