Warehouse clearance London
Racking, pallets, obsolete stock and benching cleared from warehouses and distribution units across all 33 London boroughs, worked backwards from your lease handover date rather than forwards from a collection round. Steel racking is recovered for scrap value, serviceable pallets are reused, and the floor is machine swept before the photographic handover pack goes to your landlord.
London pricing
| Job | London from | Typical time | Why the London price differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet | £45 | 15–20 min | Warehouses measure their own waste in pallets, so pricing that way lets obsolete stock go in stages instead of all at once. |
| Racking dismantle and removal, per bay | £38 | 20–30 min | Beams and uprights come apart bay by bay; the rate assumes standard boltless racking under six metres with clear aisles. |
| Mezzanine decking strip-out | £1,200 | 1–2 days | Boards, handrail and stair treads lowered by hand — a working-at-height job with its own edge-protection plan. |
| Full unit clear, up to 10,000 sq ft | £2,400 | 2–3 days | Stock, racking, benching and the loading bay, priced against floor area and how dense the aisles are. |
| Obsolete stock recycling, per load | £260 | 1–2 hrs | Packaging, damaged goods and returns split for card, plastic and general rather than tipped as one mixed load. |
| Handover sweep and floor clean | £480 | 4–6 hrs | Dilapidations ask for swept and empty, and a warehouse floor after racking removal is neither until it is machine swept. |

Warehouse clearance is quoted plus VAT at 20%. Racking rates assume standard boltless racking with aisle access; racking over six metres or fixed to a mezzanine is surveyed first. Transfer notes and gate fees are included; estate access charges, MEWP and forklift hire are itemised.
Working in London
Dilapidations clauses in London warehouse leases generally require the unit back clear, swept and with racking removed, and the penalty for missing the date is charged in rent rather than in goodwill. We plan backwards from the handover, book the vehicles against it, and add night shifts where the last week is tight — rather than fitting the clearance into a normal collection round.
On managed estates in places like Park Royal, Barking, Enfield and Croydon, the landlord controls bay use, forklift movement and out-of-hours access, while the borough controls the public highway outside. Both have to agree before a 7.5t vehicle sits in the loading yard at six in the morning, and we confirm both in writing.
Boltless racking dismantles quickly bay by bay and weighs in as scrap steel, so a fully racked unit costs less to clear than it first appears. Anything above six metres, bolted through a mezzanine or braced into the structure is surveyed first and cleared with a MEWP rather than a ladder.
Sell, return to supplier, donate, destroy or recycle — each stock line gets a decision recorded against it before loading starts. Branded and confidential goods are destroyed with a certificate rather than tipped intact, which is what stops your packaging appearing on a market stall three weeks later.

London questions
Racking is £38 a bay, pallets and stock £45 a pallet, and a full unit up to 10,000 sq ft starts at £2,400. A mezzanine decking strip-out is £1,200 and the handover sweep £480. All commercial prices are plus VAT.
Yes. Racking is dismantled bay by bay and either resold, returned to your supplier or weighed in as scrap steel, with the credit shown on your invoice. Racking over six metres or fixed into a mezzanine is surveyed before we quote.
Yes. Night and weekend shifts are standard on warehouse work so the unit keeps picking until the final week, subject to the estate's out-of-hours rules and the borough's noise restrictions.
Serviceable stock can be sold, returned or donated. Branded and confidential goods are destroyed and we issue a certificate of destruction, so nothing intact leaves the site with your name on it.
We quote against the clause itself, which normally means clear, swept and racking removed. The floor is machine swept and we hand over a photographic pack of every bay for the landlord's file.
Seven to fourteen days for a full unit, because racking, stock decisions and estate access have to be planned. A stock-only or single-aisle clear can usually be booked within the week.

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. 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 →
