Greenwich · SE18 · Warehouse clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Plumstead fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking warehouse clearance near Plumstead Common? Very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Plumstead, warehouse clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 33% of Plumstead's 9,964 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE18 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Plumstead (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Plumstead, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Plumstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station.
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. |

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.

Working in Plumstead
Plumstead SE18 is mainly Victorian and mixed-tenure: 33% of homes here are flats and 67% are houses, across 9,964 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 32% of Plumstead is privately rented and 27% socially rented, a lot of SE18 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick in Plumstead, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SE18. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Plumstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Plumstead 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 — terraced streets climbing steeply from the high street to the common — which is why a SE18 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Plumstead (Elizabeth line), 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.
