Overview
Warehouse clearance in Bellingham and Downham SE6, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Bellingham, warehouse clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 32% of Bellingham and Downham's 3,351 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE6 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How warehouse clearance works in Bellingham and Downham
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Bellingham and Downham stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Bellingham and Downham customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Bellingham and Downham wall.
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. Bellingham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Bellingham and Downham walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE6, 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 — measured on the walk in from Bellingham (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
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
Warehouse clearance prices in Bellingham and Downham
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Bellingham and Downham
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE6 jobs: racking dismantled bay by bay and either resold, returned to your supplier or recycled as scrap steel, warehouse clearance prices included
- In Bellingham and Downham: pallets sorted for reuse where they are serviceable, rather than tipped whole, sized for the wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a luton
- Cardboard, shrink wrap and plastics baled or segregated so the recovery rate is genuine, not claimed, checked on every SE6 visit
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: confidential and branded stock destroyed on request with a certificate of destruction, with 3,351 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SE6 jobs: work scheduled to the lease handover date, including night and weekend shifts, agreed on the doorstep in Bellingham and Downham before anything is unpacked
- In Bellingham and Downham: machine sweep of the floor and a photographic handover pack for the dilapidations file, timed against the walk in from Bellingham (Southeastern)
Not included
- Forklift hire and a qualified operator, which we can arrange but quote separately, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6
- 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 Bellingham and Downham
- Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets, which need a licensed contractor, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Reinstatement works such as making good the floor, walls or door tracks after strip-out, and we will say so before the SE6 visit rather than on the day
