Local warehouse clearance for Newham and its 13 covered areas. Olympic Park and Stratford towers, Royal Docks water and dense Victorian terraces at East Ham and Forest Gate.
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. |

Working in Newham
The stock in Newham is terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in e20 and the royal docks, and the mix changes street by street — Beckton (E6), Canning Town (E16) and Custom House (E16) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, new-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around east ham are permit-only and tight. Locally that means wide estate roads and off-street parking — among the easiest access in east london and a13 and lower lea crossing red routes; new blocks require booked docks and lifts. Newham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Warehouse lease ends in Newham almost always carry a dilapidations clause requiring the unit to be handed back swept and empty, and London Borough of Newham's trade waste service is not built to absorb a full racking strip-out inside a fortnight. We work to the handover date rather than a collection round.
Newham took its present shape because built for dockers and beckton gasworks labour; the 2012 games rebuilt stratford and the lower lea valley wholesale.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
The parent commercial silo — offices, units, shops and estate handovers.
Rubble, plasterboard and strip-out waste removed with transfer notes issued.
Desks, chairs, IT and storage cleared out of hours to a handover date.
Mixed loads collected by volume with a same-day waste transfer note.
Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet starts at £45 in Newham, and the ladder runs up to £480 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: E12, E13, E15, E16, E20, E6 and E7. On the ground that includes Beckton, Canning Town, Custom House, East Ham, East Village and Forest Gate.
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. East London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
New-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around East Ham are permit-only and tight. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Newham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in E20 and the Royal Docks is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Newham tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Newham postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 and Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets, which need a licensed contractor. If something on that list turns up in Newham, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
