How it works

Hoarder clean-up in East Village in three steps

Three steps, start to finish — a free survey, a fixed written price, then a consent-led clean-up in East Village E20 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 East Village E20

The practical shape of a clear-out here is set by the buildings across E20. The former athletes' village, now a managed neighbourhood of apartment blocks and parkland on the streets near The ArcelorMittal Orbit. Purpose-built rental and shared-ownership apartments with concierge and service lifts on E20 jobs. Estate management requires move-in slots, lift protection and permits for every vehicle on the East Village rounds. It is the reason we survey before quoting rather than pricing from a photograph on Newham bookings — and a median age of 29 in this neighbourhood, with 24% social-rented stock nearby, and why teams heading for The ArcelorMittal Orbit are briefed on Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern) before the day.

On ONS Census 2021 figures Newham holds 115,511 households, 53% of them flats for East Village (E20) addresses, with 3,158 households on this patch — and 24% social-rented stock nearby, with 39% privately rented and 28% socially rented and a median age of 32. In East Village that mix means the homes we are called to are mostly flats where a housing officer or support worker is often already involved on the streets near The ArcelorMittal Orbit, and the route that usually works is a safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team — and 43% of E20 homes being privately rented, with 29% one-person households here, 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: Estate management requires move-in slots, lift protection and permits for every vehicle.

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 E20 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 East Village actually looks like

Your decisions, every time

A sorting station goes up before anything moves on the East Village rounds, with 43% of E20 homes being privately rented, and the four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided — are yours to fill. In East Village as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van across E20, with The ArcelorMittal Orbit a few streets away.

Honest about the pace

We will tell you at the survey whether East Village job is realistically one day or five on the East Village rounds — and 33% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Stratford International (DLR, Southeastern), and we will say so even when the slower answer is the cheaper one. A safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team on E20 jobs, with 33% owner-occupation locally, 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 for East Village (E20) addresses, with 3,158 households on this patch, and early or weekend starts at no surcharge. Neighbours in Newham do not need to know anything at all in East Village.

Extras and local costs

What can change the price in East Village E20

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..

    included

  • Confidential paper destruction

Access and carry
Estate management requires move-in slots, lift protection and permits for every vehicle. 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
Purpose-built rental and shared-ownership apartments with concierge and service lifts. 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 East Village and what honestly is not

Every East Village E20 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 East Village 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 E20 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.

Great service! Would definitely use again - Nicole and Marius were AMAZING cleaning our small flat after building work, and the pre-clean communication was good too.
