How it works

Hoarder clean-up in Shoreditch in three steps

Three steps, start to finish — a free survey, a fixed written price, then a consent-led clean-up in Shoreditch E1 at the pace the resident sets.
  1. Step 1: Talk to us, free and private

    Tell us what the home is like today. No photographs, no judgement, no sales call.

    Same-day reply, seven days a week

  2. Step 2: Free survey, fixed written price

    In person or by video call we rate each room on the Clutter Image Rating scale, check escape routes and risks, then send one written plan and one fixed price.

    No obligation, nothing added later

  3. Step 3: Consent-led clean-up and hand-back

    We work at your pace, item by item, escape routes first, then deep clean and sanitise and hand over waste transfer notes and donation receipts.

    Discreet, unmarked vehicles on request

The service, locally

How a clear-out runs in Shoreditch E1

Warehouse offices, rooftop bars and Boxpark on the City fringe on Hackney bookings. Warehouse lofts with freight lifts, new-build towers and Georgian houses on Fournier Street in this 98% flats neighbourhood. That stock is why most E1 jobs turn on keeping a tenancy safe — blocked communal routes and fire loading are what bring most of these jobs to us for Shoreditch (E1) addresses — and this being a short walk from Shoreditch High Street (Overground), with 37% of E1 homes being privately rented. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts in Shoreditch. The nearest fixed point we work from is Shoreditch High Street (Overground), a short run from Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street across E1, with 98% of homes here being flats.

Tenure matters more than most people expect. 27% of Hackney homes are owner-occupied, 41% socially rented and 32% privately rented across 106,081 households in Shoreditch, with 20% owner-occupation locally. In Shoreditch 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 on this side of Hackney, with Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street a few streets away — and 43% social-rented stock nearby, with a written report back.

What we most often meet here: flats where a housing officer or support worker is often already involved.

The route that tends to work is a safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team, with a written report back. Access and parking: Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts.

How we work

Consent first, always the rules we do not bend

Hoarding disorder is a recognised mental health condition, listed in the World Health Organization's ICD-11 (6B24) and in the DSM-5. It is not a lifestyle choice, a cleaning failure or a character flaw, and we do not write about it as though it were.
  • 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

Five routes, one decision: how much of the home is affected and how much of it the resident wants to lead. In E1 the route chosen most often is a safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team, with a written report back, but nothing is fixed until after the survey.
A day at a time

Supported sorting

Best for: Staying in control, and homes where sentimental value does most of the work.

Two to eight visits

Staged programme

Best for: Moderate to high Clutter Image Rating homes, or anyone overwhelmed by a single-day attempt before.

One to three consecutive days

Single-session clear

Best for: Deadline work — a tenancy ending, a completion date or an enforcement notice.

Planned around the case

Safeguarding-led clearance

Best for: Blocked escape routes, enforcement notices or a tenancy at risk.

Half a day to two days

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 Shoreditch actually looks like

Your decisions, every time

A sorting station goes up before anything moves on the Shoreditch rounds, with 3,361 households on this patch, and the four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided — are yours to fill. In Shoreditch as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van across E1, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood.

Honest about the pace

We will tell you at the survey whether Shoreditch job is realistically one day or five for Shoreditch (E1) addresses — and 3,361 households on this patch, with 2% of Shoreditch homes being houses, and we will say so even when the slower answer is the cheaper one. A safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team on the streets near Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street, with Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street a few streets away, 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 on the Shoreditch rounds, with 20% owner-occupation locally, and early or weekend starts at no surcharge. Neighbours in Hackney do not need to know anything at all on Hackney bookings.

Extras and local costs

What can change the price in Shoreditch E1

Everything below is priced up front at the survey. Nothing is added on the day unless you ask us to do more.
  • Licensed disposal

    £180

    per Luton load

    Transfer notes for every load, sorted for reuse and recycling first..

  • Confidential paper destruction

Access and carry
Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. Carry distance and stair flights change the number of operatives we send, and both are counted at the survey.
Permits and charges
Hackney sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ, and our vehicles are compliant. London Borough of Hackney permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us.
Housing stock
Warehouse lofts with freight lifts, new-build towers and Georgian houses on Fournier Street. With 81% of Hackney homes being flats, lift access often decides whether a job is two days or three.
Disposal volume
The single biggest variable, estimated at the survey from the Clutter Image Rating — we would rather over-estimate and refund than surprise you.

Scope

What is included in Shoreditch and what honestly is not

Every Shoreditch E1 booking includes the list on the left at no extra cost. The list on the right is work we will not sell as a clean-up, because it would not be honest.

Included in every job

  • A free, no-obligation survey — in person or by video call — and a fixed written quote before anything is booked.
  • A written risk assessment covering escape routes, fire loading, floor loading and biological risk.
  • DBS-checked operatives trained in trauma-informed practice and infection control.
  • A four-tray sorting station and item-by-item consent throughout the visit.
  • Documents, photographs, jewellery, cash and keys set aside for you to review, never disposed of on a judgement call.
  • Licensed waste carriage with transfer notes, donation runs to a charity you choose, and parking, permits and ULEZ inside the quoted figure.

Not included — and why

Structural repair, pest treatment, asbestos removal and a few other jobs sit outside a clean-up. Each exclusion, and the reason for it, is listed on the hoarder clean-up service page.

A shared standard

The Clutter Image Rating and the safety checks behind every plan

We rate every room on the published Clutter Image Rating scale at the survey, so the quote for a Shoreditch home rests on a shared standard rather than anyone's opinion.
  • 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 E1 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.

We did an end of tenancy cleaning service with Hello cleaners last month at Camden. The team was very professional right from booking to completion. Dhaval and team did an excellent job, and the cleaning quality especially of carpets and wooden flooring was of a very high standard. Highly recommended!
