How a clear-out runs in Abbey Wood SE2
Lesnes Abbey ruins, the woods and streets transformed by the Elizabeth line for Abbey Wood (SE2) addresses. Post-war estate houses, 1930s semis and new blocks around the station on the Abbey Wood rounds. That stock is why most SE2 jobs turn on keeping a tenancy safe — blocked communal routes and fire loading are what bring most of these jobs to us across SE2 — and this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts on the streets near Lesnes Abbey Woods. The nearest fixed point we work from is Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), a short run from Lesnes Abbey Woods on this side of Greenwich, with 40% owner-occupation locally.

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.

A safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team on Greenwich bookings, with 26% one-person households here, with a written report back is what usually works here.

They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Good value - landlord happy! Didn't have to use the guarantee as the landlord didn't raise any issues. Found customer service helpful and responsive via email. Invoice was clear and easy to understand. Competitive price as well.
I loved the service as the flat was left spotlessly clean! Cynthia was the team leader and she did a great job!
