The service, locally
How a clear-out runs in Thamesmead SE28
Brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of London's biggest regeneration programmes on the Thamesmead rounds. 1960s concrete deck-access blocks, new low-rise housing and terraces on Greenwich bookings. That stock is why most SE28 jobs turn on keeping a tenancy safe — blocked communal routes and fire loading are what bring most of these jobs to us on the streets near Southmere Lake, with 29% one-person households here. Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses. The nearest fixed point we work from is Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (Southeastern), a short run from Southmere Lake in Thamesmead, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Tenure matters more than most people expect. 43% of Greenwich homes are owner-occupied, 31% socially rented and 26% privately rented across 114,051 households on Greenwich bookings, with 7,133 households on this patch. In Thamesmead the homes we work in are mostly flats where a housing officer or support worker is often already involved, and what suits them is a safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team in Thamesmead — and this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (Southeastern), with 47% of homes here being flats, with a written report back.
What we most often meet here: flats where a housing officer or support worker is often already involved. The usual challenge is keeping a tenancy safe — blocked communal routes and fire loading are what bring most of these jobs to us. The route that tends to work is a safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team, with a written report back. Access and parking: Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads.

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.

Why Hello Services
What working with us in Thamesmead actually looks like
Your decisions, every time
A sorting station goes up before anything moves on SE28 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, and the four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided — are yours to fill. In Thamesmead as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van on the Thamesmead rounds, with 47% of homes here being flats.
Honest about the pace
We will tell you at the survey whether Thamesmead job is realistically one day or five around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (Southeastern), with 47% of homes here being flats — and 29% one-person households here, and we will say so even when the slower answer is the cheaper one. A safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team in Thamesmead, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with a written report back is what usually works here.
Discretion is the default
Unmarked vehicles on request, plain clothing, no company name called out at the door across SE28, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (Southeastern), and early or weekend starts at no surcharge. Neighbours in Greenwich do not need to know anything at all on the streets near Southmere Lake.

- Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads. Carry distance and stair flights change the number of operatives we send, and both are counted at the survey.

A shared standard
The Clutter Image Rating and the safety checks behind every plan
Band 1–3 · Low
Usually a one-day sort and deep clean, often with the resident working alongside the team.
Band 4–6 · Moderate
Commonly two to four visits with a sorting station and a written plan agreed first.
Band 7–9 · High
A staged programme with a written risk assessment, PPE throughout and other agencies usually involved.
Safety checks on every survey
Four checks run on every SE28 survey before a plan is written, and clearing a route out is always the first task on site.
- Escape routes: every exit checked, and clearing a route out is always the first task on site.
- Fire and structural loading: stored material near heaters, meters and consumer units, plus upper-floor and loft loading, reported in writing.
- Biological risk: food waste, animal waste and sharps identified and handled under the correct waste stream.
- Pests and utilities: any evidence logged and treatment recommended first, with gas, water and electrical access points cleared.
