London school clearance · South London
We work in Bexley every week — suburban south-east london by the thames — bexleyheath's shops, sidcup's semis and erith's riverside. School clearance is priced against that reality, not a national average.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single classroom clearance | £220 | 2–3 hrs | Desks, chairs, storage units and display boards cleared from one classroom, typically booked around a refit or a change of use. |
| ICT suite clearance with data destruction | £480 | half day | Computers, servers and networking equipment removed under WEEE rules with certified data destruction, which is slower than general furniture because every device is logged. |
| Staff room and office clearance | £310 | 3–4 hrs | Furniture, kitchen appliances and filing cleared from staff and administration areas, usually alongside the wider site clear. |
| School hall or gymnasium clearance | £560 | 1 day | Stage blocks, PE equipment and stacking furniture cleared from a large open space, priced by volume rather than room count. |
| Full site clearance, primary school | £1,450 | 1–2 days | Every classroom, hall, office and storeroom cleared in the holiday window, scheduled to be complete before staff return for the new term. |
| Playground and outdoor equipment removal | £380 | half day | Fixed play equipment and outdoor storage require dismantling before removal and are usually recycled as scrap metal or timber rather than landfilled. |

Working in Bexley
What our crews walk into in Bexley is 1930s semis with driveways, post-war estates at thamesmead and riverside new-build at erith, and the mix changes street by street — Belvedere (DA17), Bexley Village (DA5) and Bexleyheath (DA6) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Bexley sets the constraint: straightforward van access and off-street parking; only bexleyheath broadway needs timed loading. Locally that means wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic and narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads. Bexley sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Bexley and the Department for Education both expect any clearance inside a Bexley school to run to a safeguarding standard, which means DBS-checked crews, a signed-in visit and no access to occupied classrooms during the working day. We schedule around the site's own safeguarding policy rather than asking the school to make an exception.
Why it looks like this: kentish farmland built over between the wars once the dartford loop and bexleyheath lines opened.
Scope
Method
Step 1
DBS checks confirmed, visitor sign-in arranged and the holiday access window agreed with the site manager before a date is booked.
Step 2
Furniture, ICT and equipment logged room by room, including a keep, donate or dispose decision against each item.
Step 3
Computers, servers and networked equipment are logged and removed for certified destruction ahead of general furniture clearance.
Step 4
Rooms cleared in the agreed sequence so the site is ready before staff and pupils return for the new term.
Step 5
Data destruction certificates, transfer notes and photographs handed to the site manager for the school's own records.
Coverage
Also in this borough
The parent commercial silo — offices, units, shops and estate handovers.

Single classroom clearance starts at £220 in Bexley, and the ladder runs up to £380 for the largest job on the table above. The proportion of ICT and data-bearing equipment, which needs individual logging and certified destruction, against straightforward furniture and fixtures, which clears faster by volume. 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: DA1, DA14, DA15, DA16, DA17, DA5, DA6, DA7, DA8 and SE2 and the rest of the Bexley outward codes. On the ground that includes Belvedere, Bexley Village, Bexleyheath, Crayford, Erith and Sidcup.
Booked against the school holiday calendar, typically confirmed four to six weeks ahead for a full site clear; single classroom or office clears can be scheduled inside the working week outside term time. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Straightforward van access and off-street parking; only Bexleyheath Broadway needs timed loading. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Bexley and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. 1930s semis with driveways, post-war estates at Thamesmead and riverside new-build at Erith 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.
DBS-checked crews working to a signed safeguarding log, with certified data destruction for ICT equipment and a waste transfer note issued for every visit. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Bexley tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
Two to four operatives for a single-building clear, scaling to two teams working in parallel where a full primary site has to be finished inside a two-week holiday window. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Bexley postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Asbestos-containing materials in older school buildings, which require a licensed removal contractor, Removal of items the school has flagged for retention, donation or transfer to another site and Playground resurfacing or making good after fixed equipment is removed. If something on that list turns up in Bexley, 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.
