Overview
This page prices warehouse clearance for St Mary Cray and Cray Valley BR5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 13% privately rented and 10,135 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
We read the dilapidations schedule first, because handing back swept and empty is a different job from simply removing your stock.
Step 2
Sell, return, donate, destroy or recycle recorded against each stock line before anything is loaded.
Step 3
Bay by bay from the far aisle back to the shutter, so the loading bay stays usable until the last day.
Step 4
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
Machine sweep, photographs of every bay and the transfer notes returned before the keys go back to the landlord.
Why choose us
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. St Mary Cray (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from St Mary Cray (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is St Mary Cray and Cray Valley gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Registered waste carrier with a transfer note per load, plus a certificate of destruction where branded or confidential stock is involved. Steel racking is weighed in as scrap and the credit shown on your invoice.
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. Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and industrial-estate access nearby.
Fixed prices
| 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
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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.

Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet starts at £45 in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley on the St Mary Cray and Cray Valley rounds, with Bromley parking rules in play — and 13% of BR5 homes being privately rented, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 on the streets near The River Cray and Nugent Shopping Park, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory — and 23% of homes here being flats, and steel racking recovers scrap value that offsets part of the cost.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 23% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from St Mary Cray (Southeastern). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley most weeks on this side of Bromley, with 13% of BR5 homes being privately rented.

That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the St Mary Cray and Cray Valley rounds. With 23% of St Mary Cray and Cray Valley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Bromley bookings — and 23% of homes here being flats, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Forklift hire and a qualified operator, which we can arrange but quote separately; Work at height above racking level without a booked MEWP, which is priced per day when needed; Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets across BR5, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory — and this being a short walk from St Mary Cray (Southeastern), which need a licensed contractor; Reinstatement works such as making good the floor, walls or door tracks after strip-out. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the St Mary Cray and Cray Valley BR5 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Bromley, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 13% of St Mary Cray and Cray Valley privately rented and 55% owner-occupied, roughly half the BR5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Bromley — and 10,135 households on this patch, with The River Cray and Nugent Shopping Park a few streets away.
