London school clearance · South London
School clearance across Lewisham, from SE12, SE13 and SE14 outwards. Deptford's market and Victorian New Cross, hill villages at Blackheath and Forest Hill, and Catford's high street, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
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. |
School clearance is quoted plus VAT at 20%. DBS-checked crews, safeguarding sign-in and certified data destruction are included in the price. Access outside the holiday window, skip permits and out-of-hours surcharges are itemised on the quote.
Working in Lewisham
The stock in Lewisham is victorian and edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s catford estates and new lewisham town-centre towers, and the mix changes street by street — Bellingham and Downham (SE6), Brockley (SE4) and Catford (SE6) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Lewisham sets the constraint: steep hills at honor oak and forest hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding cpzs across se4 and se14. Locally that means wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a luton and steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights. Lewisham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Term-time noise and access restrictions in Lewisham make the school holidays the only realistic window for anything larger than a single classroom clear, and London Borough of Lewisham-maintained sites often book contractor access weeks ahead through the site manager. We confirm the holiday dates and access route before quoting a start date, not after.
Lewisham took its present shape because kentish villages absorbed by railways from the 1840s; deptford's naval dockyard and deptford creek shaped its industrial edge.

Single classroom clearance starts at £220 in Lewisham, 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: SE12, SE13, SE14, SE23, SE26, SE4, SE6 and SE8. On the ground that includes Bellingham and Downham, Brockley, Catford, Deptford, Forest Hill and Grove Park.
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.
Steep hills at Honor Oak and Forest Hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding CPZs across SE4 and SE14. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Lewisham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Victorian and Edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s Catford estates and new Lewisham town-centre towers 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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
