Overview
Warehouse clearance in Custom House E16, explained
Warehouse clearance in Custom House E16 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Newham, most of them post-war. 3,330 households sit inside this E16 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near Custom House station and Victoria Dock rather than a London average.
How it works
How warehouse clearance works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In E16, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Custom House customers book us
Four things decide whether a E16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
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. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces in E16, 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 Custom House stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Warehouse clearance prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Custom House: racking dismantled bay by bay and either resold, returned to your supplier or recycled as scrap steel, the way it is done on Custom House jobs
- On E16 jobs: pallets sorted for reuse where they are serviceable, rather than tipped whole, with 50% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Newham bookings: cardboard, shrink wrap and plastics baled or segregated so the recovery rate is genuine, not claimed, arranged with London Borough of Newham where the kerb needs it
- Confidential and branded stock destroyed on request with a certificate of destruction — including warehouse clearance
- In Custom House: work scheduled to the lease handover date, including night and weekend shifts, timed against the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR)
- On E16 jobs: machine sweep of the floor and a photographic handover pack for the dilapidations file, agreed on the doorstep in Custom House before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Forklift hire and a qualified operator, which we can arrange but quote separately, which we refer on to the right trade in Custom House
- Work at height above racking level without a booked MEWP, which is priced per day when needed, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16
- Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets, which need a licensed contractor, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- Reinstatement works such as making good the floor, walls or door tracks after strip-out, and we will say so before the E16 visit rather than on the day

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.

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a warehouse clearance quote.
3,330 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering Custom House. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 50% of those homes are flats.
With 24% private renting against 26% owner-occupied, most E16 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Custom House substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Custom House stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a E16 customer twice.
Regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. That character decides the practical detail of warehouse clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).

Common questions
Warehouse clearance in Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does warehouse clearance cost in Custom House E16?
Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet starts at £45 in Custom House in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 49% social-rented stock nearby — and 50% of Custom House 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 across E16 — and Newham parking rules in play, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), and steel racking recovers scrap value that offsets part of the cost.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Custom House E16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Newham bookings, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Custom House most weeks in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Newham territory.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Custom House?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on E16 jobs, with Newham parking rules in play.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Custom House doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Newham. With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across E16, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented — and this being London Borough of Newham territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in warehouse clearance in Custom House?
Forklift hire and a qualified operator, which we can arrange but quote separately; Work at height above racking level without a booked MEWP, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), which is priced per day when needed; Asbestos cladding, insulation board or roof sheets on the Custom House rounds — and 26% one-person households here, 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 Custom House E16 price you agree is the price you pay for Custom House (E16) addresses, with 26% owner-occupation locally.
Who books warehouse clearance in Custom House E16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 24% of Custom House privately rented and 26% owner-occupied, roughly half the E16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented.
How quickly can you reach Custom House from your Newham round?
Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to on the Custom House rounds, with 49% social-rented stock nearby, and construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. A E16 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on E16 jobs, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses.
