Overview
Warehouse clearance in Catford SE6, explained

How it works
How warehouse clearance works in Catford
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Catford stock goes, a median age of 35 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 Catford customers book us
What follows is specific to Catford: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lewisham agents ask for.
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. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Catford walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Catford
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 Catford
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, with 62% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Catford: pallets sorted for reuse where they are serviceable, rather than tipped whole, the way it is done on Catford jobs
- Cardboard, shrink wrap and plastics baled or segregated so the recovery rate is genuine, not claimed — including local warehouse clearance
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: confidential and branded stock destroyed on request with a certificate of destruction, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it
- On SE6 jobs: work scheduled to the lease handover date, including night and weekend shifts, warehouse clearance included
- In Catford: machine sweep of the floor and a photographic handover pack for the dilapidations file, sized for the south circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind
Not included
- Forklift hire and a qualified operator, which we can arrange but quote separately, which we refer on to the right trade in Catford
- Work at height above racking level without a booked MEWP, which is priced per day when needed, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets, which need a licensed contractor, and we will say so before the SE6 visit rather than on the day
- Reinstatement works such as making good the floor, walls or door tracks after strip-out, outside the fixed price on Catford bookings

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.

Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Catford knows the pattern near The Catford Cat: the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. We plan the SE6 visit around it. Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Common questions

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 the Catford rounds, with 42% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), and steel racking recovers scrap value that offsets part of the cost.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Catford SE6?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Lewisham, with 25% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Catford most weeks in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with 33% one-person households here.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Catford?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Catford (SE6) addresses, with The Catford Cat a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Catford doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Catford Cat. With 62% of Catford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Lewisham bookings, with 38% of Catford homes being houses — and 42% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE6?
Registered waste carrier with a transfer note per load, plus a certificate of destruction where branded or confidential stock is involved on the streets near The Catford Cat, with 62% of homes here being flats. Steel racking is weighed in as scrap and the credit shown on your invoice for Catford (SE6) addresses. That paperwork is what most Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Catford rounds, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
What is not included in warehouse clearance in Catford?
Forklift hire and a qualified operator, which we can arrange but quote separately; Work at height above racking level without a booked MEWP, which is priced per day when needed; Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, which need a licensed contractor; Reinstatement works such as making good the floor, walls or door tracks after strip-out. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Catford SE6 price you agree is the price you pay on Lewisham bookings, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Who books warehouse clearance in Catford SE6 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 33% of Catford privately rented and 42% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Catford (SE6) addresses — and 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented, with 38% of Catford homes being houses.
