Overview
Office clearance in Custom House E16, explained
Office 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 office clearance works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Custom House stock goes, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Site survey and inventory
We count desks and cages rather than guessing, because a London lift booking depends on the number.
Step 2
Method and access plan
RAMS, lift windows, dock slots and building-management sign-off agreed before the date.
Step 3
Segregate on the floor
IT, confidential paper, reusable furniture and general waste split at source, not at the tip.
Step 4
Clear and protect
Lift and floor protection in, crew works the plan, supervisor signs each area off.
Step 5
Evidence pack
Transfer notes, WEEE evidence, destruction certificate and reuse figures sent within 48 hours.
Why choose us
Why Custom House customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Custom House wall.
Booked around your day
Surveys within 48 hours; most clearances are scheduled 5–10 working days out to fit building access windows. 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 often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 on these streets — measured on the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier with £10m public liability, WEEE evidence notes for all IT and a certificate of destruction for confidential paper.
Fixed prices
Office clearance prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. Desk count, lift access and the working window drive the price. Overnight clearance in a managed building costs more per desk than a Saturday in a self-contained unit.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 desks | £480 | 3–5 hrs | Desks, chairs, pedestals and screens stripped, with IT separated for WEEE evidence. |
| 10–30 desks | £1,150 | 1 day | Two loads and a booked goods lift; London lift windows are the constraint, not the loading. |
| 30–75 desks | £2,400 | 1–2 days | Phased over evenings so the business keeps trading, with a supervisor on site throughout. |
| Racking, storage and archive removal | £420 | 3 hrs | Dismantled rather than dragged, with confidential paper routed to a shredding partner. |
| Full dilapidation strip-out | POA | 3 days+ | Priced against your lease schedule of condition, including making good, because that is what the landlord signs off. |

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
- On E16 jobs: desks, chairs, pedestals, screens, storage and kitchen equipment removed, agreed on the doorstep in Custom House before anything is unpacked
- In Custom House: iT and electricals separated and processed under WEEE with an evidence note, the way it is done on Custom House jobs
- Confidential paper routed to a shredding partner with a destruction certificate, noted on the Custom House job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Newham bookings: floor and lift protection, RAMS pack and out-of-hours working where required, allowing for the 24% of E16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On E16 jobs: reuse routing for serviceable furniture, with a diversion figure for your ESG report, office clearance prices included
Not included
- Data wiping of servers and drives, which we arrange through a specialist rather than doing ourselves, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural strip-out, M&E disconnection or asbestos work, and we will say so before the E16 visit rather than on the day
- Making good beyond the agreed dilapidation scope, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- Storage of furniture off-site unless booked as a separate service, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16

This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.

Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a office clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts Custom House at 3,330 households with a median age of 32.9. The post-war stock is social-housing-led, which is why 50% houses and 50% flats need different handling in E16.
Owner-occupation runs at 26% in Custom House, so alongside the 24% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in E16. 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 Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Custom House knows the pattern near Custom House station and Victoria Dock: regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. We plan the E16 visit around it. 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 crew and a supervisor on a standard floor clearance, scaled up for phased overnight work. Fitters travelling in use Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).

Desk count, lift access and the working window drive the price for Custom House (E16) addresses. Overnight clearance in a managed building costs more per desk than a Saturday in a self-contained unit on this side of Newham, with 49% social-rented stock nearby.
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 around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with 26% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Custom House most weeks, with Newham parking rules in play.
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 around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with 49% social-rented stock nearby.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Custom House doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Newham bookings. With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Custom House, with 50% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books office 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 on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock — and 26% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Newham territory.
How quickly can you reach Custom House from your Newham round?
Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, 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 Newham bookings, with 3,330 households on this patch.
Is same-day or evening office clearance available in Newham?
Surveys within 48 hours; most clearances are scheduled 5–10 working days out to fit building access windows on Newham bookings, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. Custom House sits close to Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) in this 50% flats neighbourhood — and 26% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Newham territory, so we can usually add a E16 job to an existing Newham round at short notice.
