The service, locally
How a clear-out runs in Kew TW9
The botanic gardens, the green and Edwardian family streets around them across TW9. Edwardian terraces and semis in family use, plus riverside apartments on the streets near Kew Gardens. That stock is why most TW9 jobs turn on decades of paperwork, photographs and inherited belongings on TW9 jobs, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, where the sorting matters far more than the carrying. Narrow streets with permit bays, level crossings and conservation-area frontages on this side of Richmond upon Thames. The nearest fixed point we work from is Kew Gardens (District, Overground), a short run from Kew Gardens on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.
Tenure matters more than most people expect. 63% of Richmond upon Thames homes are owner-occupied, 12% socially rented and 25% privately rented across 80,704 households in Kew, with 6% social-rented stock nearby. In Kew the homes we work in are mostly long-held family houses with lofts, cellars and forty years of storage — and 30% of TW9 homes being privately rented, with 59% of Kew homes being houses, and what suits them is supported sorting days at the resident's pace for Kew (TW9) addresses, with everything personal set aside first.

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 Kew actually looks like
Your decisions, every time
A sorting station goes up before anything moves on TW9 jobs, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, and the four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided — are yours to fill. In Kew as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van on the Kew rounds, with 30% one-person households here.
Honest about the pace
We will tell you at the survey whether Kew job is realistically one day or five on Richmond upon Thames bookings — and 30% one-person households here, with 4,163 households on this patch, and we will say so even when the slower answer is the cheaper one. Supported sorting days at the resident's pace, with 30% one-person households here, with everything personal set aside first is what usually works here on the Kew rounds.
Discretion is the default
For TW9 bookings, unmarked vehicles on request, plain clothing, no company name called out at the door on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 4,163 households on this patch, and early or weekend starts at no surcharge. Neighbours in Richmond upon Thames do not need to know anything at all in this 41% flats neighbourhood. Around Kew Gardens (District, Overground) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.

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 →
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!
The team arrived on time, phoned me beforehand and got to work straight away after discussing the priorities. They worked extremely hard, were pleasant, polite and have done a great job cleaning the whole flat. I am recommending the service to others because it is just what people need.
