The service, locally
Hoarder clean-up across Newham East London
Terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in E20 and the Royal Docks. With 53% of homes in the borough being flats, communal stairs, lift access and estate loading rules shape most Newham jobs as much as the volume inside the property does. New-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around East Ham are permit-only and tight.
We work with private clients, with families acting for a relative, and on referral from London Borough of Newham, housing associations, adult social care, occupational therapists and community mental health teams. Where another professional is already involved, we run to their risk assessment and report back to them in writing.
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.
Most common situation across the borough: flats where a housing officer or support worker is often already involved. Access and parking: New-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around East Ham are permit-only and tight.

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 Newham actually looks like
Your decisions, every time
A sorting station goes up before anything moves on the streets near Beckton Alps, with 44% of homes here being flats, and the four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided — are yours to fill. In Beckton as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van for Beckton (E6) addresses, with Newham parking rules in play.
Honest about the pace
We will tell you at the survey whether Beckton job is realistically one day or five in Beckton — and Beckton Alps a few streets away, with 8,480 households on this patch, and we will say so even when the slower answer is the cheaper one. A safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team on this side of Newham, with 24% one-person households here, 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 in Beckton, with 44% of homes here being flats, and early or weekend starts at no surcharge. Neighbours in Newham do not need to know anything at all around Beckton (DLR).
Safety assessed, not assumed
Escape routes, fire loading, floor loading and biological risk are checked and written down before the first box moves across E6, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. Clearing a route out of the property is always the first task on site on this side of Newham.
Licensed, insured, accountable
DBS-checked and trauma-informed teams, full public liability and treatment-risk cover, licensed waste carriage with transfer notes, donation receipts back in your hand on the streets near Beckton Alps — and Beckton Alps a few streets away, with this being London Borough of Newham territory, and London Borough of Newham permits arranged and paid for by us.

- Access and carry
- Wide estate roads and off-street parking — among the easiest access in east London. Carry distance and stair flights change the number of operatives we send, and both are counted at the survey.
- Permits and charges
- Newham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ, and our vehicles are compliant. London Borough of Newham permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us.
- Housing stock
- 1980s estate houses with drives and garages, plus low-rise flats. With 53% of Newham 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 Newham and what honestly is not
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
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 Newham survey before any plan is written, and they are reported back to you in writing.
- 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.

I have high standards and the team met them all with their efficiency, professionalism, and conduct. Needless to say the place is spotless, and we could notice a huge difference – every surface, draw and floor was completely cleaned (unfurnished apartment ready to move in). The price was reasonable too so the only reason my…
