Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Shoreditch High Street, warehouse clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 98% of Shoreditch's 3,361 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E1 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
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. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts.
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. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,361 households inside the E1 neighbourhood.
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.
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. |

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.

Working in Shoreditch

Private renting sits at 37% and owner-occupation at 20%; the first group books warehouse clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Shoreditch is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,361 households inside the E1 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Shoreditch knows the pattern near Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street: warehouse offices, rooftop bars and Boxpark on the City fringe. We plan the E1 visit around it.
