Overview
Warehouse clearance in Shortlands and Hayes BR2, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Shortlands, warehouse clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 52% of Shortlands and Hayes's 3,676 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in BR2 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How warehouse clearance works in Shortlands and Hayes
Five steps, the same on every BR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In BR2, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — and driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Survey against the lease
We read the dilapidations schedule first, because handing back swept and empty is a different job from simply removing your stock.
Step 2
Stock decisions made
Sell, return, donate, destroy or recycle recorded against each stock line before anything is loaded.
Step 3
Racking down in sequence
Bay by bay from the far aisle back to the shutter, so the loading bay stays usable until the last day.
Step 4
Segregate and load
Steel, card, plastics and general split at the point of loading, which is what keeps the gate cost and the recovery figure honest.
Step 5
Sweep, photograph, hand back
Machine sweep, photographs of every bay and the transfer notes returned before the keys go back to the landlord.
Why choose us
Why Shortlands and Hayes customers book us
What follows is specific to Shortlands and Hayes: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bromley agents ask for.
Crew sized to the job
Four operatives with a 7.5t tail-lift vehicle on a standard unit, scaling to six with a second vehicle where the handover date is tight. Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.
Booked around your day
Seven to fourteen days for a full unit because racking, stock decisions and estate access have to be planned; a single-aisle or stock-only clear can usually be booked within the week. Shortlands (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Shortlands and Hayes walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, which is what a 52% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Shortlands and Hayes actually produces in BR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the pattern behind 3,676 households inside the BR2 neighbourhood.
Fixed prices
Warehouse clearance prices in Shortlands and Hayes
Fixed prices for BR2 and the rest of Bromley. Aisle density and racking height. Two units with the same floor area differ by days once one of them has six-metre racking and a mezzanine, and steel racking recovers scrap value that offsets part of the cost.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet | £45 | 15–20 min | Priced per pallet because a warehouse measures its own waste that way, and it lets you clear obsolete stock in stages rather than 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 aisle access. |
| Mezzanine decking strip-out | £1,200 | 1–2 days | Boards, handrail and stair treads removed and lowered by hand, which is 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 | Whole-unit handover including stock, racking, benching and the loading bay, priced against floor area and the aisle density. |
| Obsolete stock recycling, per load | £260 | 1–2 hrs | Mixed packaging, damaged goods and returns segregated for card, plastic and general rather than tipped as one mixed load. |
| Handover sweep and floor clean | £480 | 4–6 hrs | Dilapidations clauses ask for swept and empty, and a warehouse floor after racking removal is neither until it has been machine swept. |

Scope
What's included in Shortlands and Hayes
The same scope across BR2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Shortlands and Hayes: racking dismantled bay by bay and either resold, returned to your supplier or recycled as scrap steel, the way it is done on Shortlands and Hayes jobs
- On BR2 jobs: pallets sorted for reuse where they are serviceable, rather than tipped whole, with 52% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Bromley bookings: cardboard, shrink wrap and plastics baled or segregated so the recovery rate is genuine, not claimed, arranged with London Borough of Bromley where the kerb needs it
- Confidential and branded stock destroyed on request with a certificate of destruction — including warehouse clearance
- In Shortlands and Hayes: work scheduled to the lease handover date, including night and weekend shifts, timed against the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern)
- On BR2 jobs: machine sweep of the floor and a photographic handover pack for the dilapidations file, agreed on the doorstep in Shortlands and Hayes before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Forklift hire and a qualified operator, which we can arrange but quote separately, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Work at height above racking level without a booked MEWP, which is priced per day when needed, which we refer on to the right trade in Shortlands and Hayes
- Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets, which need a licensed contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR2
- Reinstatement works such as making good the floor, walls or door tracks after strip-out, outside the fixed price on Shortlands and Hayes bookings

Shortlands and Hayes BR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shortlands and Hayes — the numbers that actually change a warehouse clearance quote.
3,676 households sit inside the BR2 neighbourhood covering Shortlands and Hayes. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 52% of those homes are flats.
Because 24% of Shortlands and Hayes is privately rented and 7% socially rented, a lot of BR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Shortlands and Hayes substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, which is what a 52% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Shortlands and Hayes actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the pattern behind 3,676 households inside the BR2 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a BR2 customer twice.
Leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby. That character decides the practical detail of warehouse clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Shortlands and Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak — one reason four operatives with a 7.5t tail-lift vehicle on a standard unit, scaling to six with a second vehicle where the handover date is tight. Fitters travelling in use Shortlands (Southeastern).
