Southwark · SE22 · School clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local East Dulwich fitters · Fixed written pricesEast Dulwich SE22 is a regular stop on our Southwark round. Lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses, so school clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £220, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around East Dulwich, school clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £220. With 43% of East Dulwich's 3,337 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE22 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
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.
Why choose us
We expect solid London stock brick in SE22, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Dulwich Park in SE22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 3,337 households inside the SE22 neighbourhood.
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.
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. Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.
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. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE22 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

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.
