Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around London Bridge, warehouse clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 95% of London Bridge and Bermondsey Street's 4,532 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE1 shape the slot length we hold.
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
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. Market delivery windows before 09:00, railway-arch streets and booked goods lifts in the towers.
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. London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a SE1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Borough Market in SE1, 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 London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map.
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
| 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.

Working in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street
Walk London Bridge and Bermondsey Street from Borough Market outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 95% of the 4,532 households in SE1 live in flats, 5% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 21% in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street, so alongside the 29% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around Borough Market behind the plaster in SE1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows London Bridge and Bermondsey Street knows the pattern near Borough Market: the Shard, Borough Market and the Georgian shopfronts of Bermondsey Street. We plan the SE1 visit around it. London Bridge and Bermondsey Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Market delivery windows before 09:00, railway-arch streets and booked goods lifts in the towers. Nearest station is London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail), and 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.

Pallet and stock disposal, per pallet starts at £45 in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street for London Bridge and Bermondsey Street (SE1) addresses — and Southwark parking rules in play, with 29% of SE1 homes being privately rented, 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 SE1 — and 5% of London Bridge and Bermondsey Street homes being houses, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, 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 the streets near Borough Market, with Southwark parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in London Bridge and Bermondsey Street most weeks across SE1, with 95% of homes here being flats.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Southwark, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across SE1. With 95% of London Bridge and Bermondsey Street homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Southwark, with 36% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 29% of London Bridge and Bermondsey Street privately rented and 21% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the London Bridge and Bermondsey Street rounds — and this being London Borough of Southwark territory, with 95% of homes here being flats.
Borough Market is the marker we route to for London Bridge and Bermondsey Street (SE1) addresses, with 50% social-rented stock nearby, and market delivery windows before 09:00, railway-arch streets and booked goods lifts in the towers. A SE1 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with 36% one-person households here.
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 on Southwark bookings — and 36% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail). London Bridge and Bermondsey Street sits close to London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail) on the streets near Borough Market, with 29% of SE1 homes being privately rented — and this being a short walk from London Bridge (Northern, Jubilee, National Rail), so we can usually add a SE1 job to an existing Southwark round at short notice.
