The service, locally
How a clear-out runs in Petts Wood BR5
A planned 1930s commuter suburb with a conservation-area shopping parade on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood. Planned 1930s detached and semi-detached houses, most with garages and deep gardens for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses. That stock is why most BR5 jobs turn on decades of paperwork, photographs and inherited belongings in Petts Wood, with 90% owner-occupation locally, where the sorting matters far more than the carrying. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays on Bromley bookings. The nearest fixed point we work from is Petts Wood (Southeastern), a short run from The Willett Memorial Wood in this 8% flats neighbourhood, with 8% of BR5 homes being privately rented.
8 and a dwelling split of 31% flats to 69% houses for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses. Around Petts Wood that translates into long-held family houses with lofts, cellars and forty years of storage on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood, with Bromley parking rules in play, where the honest answer is usually supported sorting days at the resident's pace — and 22% one-person households here, with everything personal set aside first.

How we work
Consent first, always the rules we do not bend
Consent decides everything
We work at your pace
Discretion as standard
Trained, checked, insured
Each of these is written out in full — what we do, and what we will never do — on the London hoarder clean-up hub.
Five routes
The person decides the route not the price list
Supported sorting
Best for: Staying in control, and homes where sentimental value does most of the work.
Staged programme
Best for: Moderate to high Clutter Image Rating homes, or anyone overwhelmed by a single-day attempt before.
Single-session clear
Best for: Deadline work — a tenancy ending, a completion date or an enforcement notice.
Safeguarding-led clearance
Best for: Blocked escape routes, enforcement notices or a tenancy at risk.
Recovery clean and sanitise
Best for: Handing a property back, or the point where a home needs to feel like a home again.
How each route runs day to day is set out on the London hoarder clean-up hub.

In Petts Wood as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van around Petts Wood (Southeastern), with 8% of BR5 homes being privately rented.
Honest about the pace

Supported sorting days at the resident's pace, with 2% social-rented stock nearby, with everything personal set aside first is what usually works here on this side of Bromley.

They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Fantastic, professional service. The team did a thorough job cleaning my unfurnished apartment ready to move in.
After a shaky start, with cleaners being over an hour late, the team did a great job. Landlord was very happy with the job too. The team were also very friendly.
