The service, locally
How a clear-out runs in Kennington SE11
The practical shape of a clear-out here is set by the buildings on the streets near The Kia Oval. Georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them for Kennington (SE11) addresses. Georgian terraces in flats, Duchy of Cornwall estate houses and post-war blocks in Kennington. Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access around Kennington (Northern). It is the reason we survey before quoting rather than pricing from a photograph in this 88% flats neighbourhood — and 28% owner-occupation locally, with 38% one-person households here, and why teams heading for The Kia Oval are briefed on Kennington (Northern) before the day.
1. In Kennington that mix means the homes we are called to are mostly flats where a housing officer or support worker is often already involved in this 88% flats neighbourhood, and the route that usually works is a safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team — and 47% social-rented stock nearby, with 88% 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: Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access.

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 Kennington actually looks like
Your decisions, every time
A sorting station goes up before anything moves on the Kennington rounds, with 28% owner-occupation locally, and the four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided — are yours to fill. In Kennington as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van across SE11, with this being a short walk from Kennington (Northern).
Honest about the pace
We will tell you at the survey whether Kennington job is realistically one day or five on this side of Lambeth, with 88% of homes here being flats — and Lambeth parking rules in play, and we will say so even when the slower answer is the cheaper one. A safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team on SE11 jobs, with this being London Borough of Lambeth 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 on SE11 jobs, with 88% of homes here being flats, and early or weekend starts at no surcharge. Neighbours in Lambeth do not need to know anything at all on this side of Lambeth.

- Access and carry
- Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. Carry distance and stair flights change the number of operatives we send, and both are counted at the survey.
- Permits and charges
- Part of Lambeth sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ — both are inside the quoted price. London Borough of Lambeth permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us.
- Housing stock
- Georgian terraces in flats, Duchy of Cornwall estate houses and post-war blocks. With 75% of Lambeth 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.

- 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.

Cleaning reviews from Greater London customers
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Great service - Ricardo and Rueben were absolutely fantastic, arrived on time, did a thorough job cleaning the entire flat leaving it immaculate, would highly recommend!
They followed their job order well, and true to their promise of a quick but quality deep-clean of the flat. I will definitely recommend this company, and specifically Cosmina to be their cleaner.
