Greenwich · SE9 · Warehouse clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Eltham fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide warehouse clearance in Eltham SE9 for houses and flats around Eltham Palace. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Warehouse clearance in Eltham SE9 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Greenwich, most of them mainly Victorian. 13,732 households sit inside this SE9 patch, 27% of them flats, so we quote on access near Eltham Palace rather than a London average.
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. Eltham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Eltham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Eltham Palace.
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. Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only.
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. 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 →

Working in Eltham
Eltham SE9 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 27% of homes here are flats and 73% are houses, across 13,732 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 15% of Eltham is privately rented and 21% socially rented, a lot of SE9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Eltham substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Eltham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Eltham Palace is the mistake that costs a SE9 customer twice.
Eltham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis — which is why a SE9 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only. Eltham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and 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.
