From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
This page prices warehouse clearance for Royal Docks E16 specifically: recent new-build stock, 38% privately rented and 2,668 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Newham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
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.
Why choose us
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. Royal Victoria (DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Royal Docks gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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.
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. Event congestion around ExCeL, gated estates and mandatory lift booking.
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. |

Scope
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
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.

Working in Royal Docks
In Royal Docks (E16) the split is 74% flats to 26% houses over 2,668 households, and the stock is recent new-build.
The renter-heavy mix here (23% owned, 38% privately rented) means a E16 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Royal Docks substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Royal Docks gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a E16 customer twice.
Royal Docks is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — water on three sides — ExCeL, the cable car and dockside apartment terraces — which is why a E16 quote is not a Newham average.
On access, event congestion around ExCeL, gated estates and mandatory lift booking — 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 Royal Victoria (DLR).

Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet starts at £45 in Royal Docks on the Royal Docks rounds, with 38% of E16 homes being privately rented — and this being London Borough of Newham territory, 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 the streets near ExCeL London and the IFS Cloud Cable Car, with 23% owner-occupation locally — and 38% of E16 homes being privately rented, and steel racking recovers scrap value that offsets part of the cost.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Newham, with 27% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Royal Docks most weeks across E16, with 2,668 households on this patch.

That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Newham bookings. With 74% of Royal Docks homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 74% flats neighbourhood — and 2,668 households on this patch, with 39% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
ExCeL London and the IFS Cloud Cable Car is the marker we route to on the Royal Docks rounds, with 74% of homes here being flats, and event congestion around ExCeL, gated estates and mandatory lift booking. A E16 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Royal Docks (E16) addresses, with this being London Borough of Newham territory.
