How it works
How school clearance works in Temple and Aldwych
Five steps, the same on every WC2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Safeguarding and access agreed
DBS checks confirmed, visitor sign-in arranged and the holiday access window agreed with the site manager before a date is booked.
Step 2
Room-by-room inventory
Furniture, ICT and equipment logged room by room, including a keep, donate or dispose decision against each item.
Step 3
Data-bearing devices isolated first
Computers, servers and networked equipment are logged and removed for certified destruction ahead of general furniture clearance.
Step 4
Clearance carried out in the holiday window
Rooms cleared in the agreed sequence so the site is ready before staff and pupils return for the new term.
Step 5
Sign-off and certificates issued
Data destruction certificates, transfer notes and photographs handed to the site manager for the school's own records.
Why choose us
Why Temple and Aldwych customers book us
Four things decide whether a WC2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
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. Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times.
Booked around your day
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. Temple (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a WC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Temple and Aldwych walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Temple and Aldwych, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 46% one-person households in Temple and Aldwych, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in WC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Temple and Aldwych gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
School clearance prices in Temple and Aldwych
Fixed prices for WC2 and the rest of Westminster. 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.
| 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. |

- In Temple and Aldwych: wEEE-compliant removal of ICT equipment, projectors and networked devices, the way it is done on Temple and Aldwych jobs
- On WC2 jobs: scheduling confirmed against the holiday calendar so work never overlaps with term-time teaching, with 95% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Westminster bookings: segregation of furniture for reuse or donation where the school requests it, ahead of general disposal, with 3,927 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most

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.
