Overview
Warehouse clearance in Old Street EC1V, explained
Warehouse clearance in Old Street EC1V is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Islington, most of them post-war. 4,949 households sit inside this EC1V patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground rather than a London average.
How it works
How warehouse clearance works in Old Street
Five steps, the same on every EC1V job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC1V, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — measured on the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map 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 Old Street customers book us
What follows is specific to Old Street: its walls, its access and the paperwork Islington 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. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
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. Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a EC1V visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Old Street walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in EC1V, often with surface conduit, with 52% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in EC1V, 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, as the Old Street stock goes, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground.
Fixed prices
Warehouse clearance prices in Old Street
Fixed prices for EC1V and the rest of Islington. 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 Old Street
The same scope across EC1V, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Old Street: racking dismantled bay by bay and either resold, returned to your supplier or recycled as scrap steel, timed against the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern)
- On EC1V jobs: pallets sorted for reuse where they are serviceable, rather than tipped whole, agreed on the doorstep in Old Street before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Islington bookings: cardboard, shrink wrap and plastics baled or segregated so the recovery rate is genuine, not claimed, allowing for the 28% of EC1V homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Confidential and branded stock destroyed on request with a certificate of destruction, noted on the Old Street job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Old Street: work scheduled to the lease handover date, including night and weekend shifts, sized for the red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards
- On EC1V jobs: machine sweep of the floor and a photographic handover pack for the dilapidations file, local warehouse clearance included
Not included
- Forklift hire and a qualified operator, which we can arrange but quote separately, handled by London Borough of Islington 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 Old Street
- Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets, which need a licensed contractor, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC1V
- Reinstatement works such as making good the floor, walls or door tracks after strip-out, outside the fixed price on Old Street bookings

Old Street EC1V at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Old Street — the numbers that actually change a warehouse clearance quote.
Old Street EC1V is post-war and social-housing-led: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,949 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (19% owned, 28% privately rented) means a EC1V diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in EC1V, often with surface conduit, with 52% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Old Street is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Old Street stock goes, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground.
The roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe. That character decides the practical detail of warehouse clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Old Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. Nearest station is Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), 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.

Common questions
Warehouse clearance in Old Street EC1V — your questions.
How much does warehouse clearance cost in Old Street EC1V?
Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet starts at £45 in Old Street around Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), with 19% owner-occupation locally — and 2% of Old Street homes being houses, 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 this side of Islington, with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented — and Islington parking rules in play, and steel racking recovers scrap value that offsets part of the cost.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Old Street EC1V?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Old Street rounds, with this being London Borough of Islington territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Old Street most weeks on Islington bookings, with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Old Street?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Islington bookings, with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Old Street doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 98% flats neighbourhood. With 98% of Old Street homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Islington, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away — and this being London Borough of Islington territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Old Street from your Islington round?
Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground is the marker we route to on EC1V jobs — and Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away, with 19% owner-occupation locally, and red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. A EC1V slot added to an existing Islington round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), with 52% social-rented stock nearby.
Is same-day or evening warehouse clearance available in Islington?
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 on the Old Street rounds — and 4,949 households on this patch, with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented. Old Street sits close to Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) on Islington bookings, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away — and 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented, so we can usually add a EC1V job to an existing Islington round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Old Street?
Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards on EC1V jobs. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Islington it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground — and this being London Borough of Islington territory, with 52% social-rented stock nearby.
