How it works

Hoarder clean-up in Fitzrovia in three steps

Three steps, start to finish — a free survey, a fixed written price, then a consent-led clean-up in Fitzrovia W1 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 Fitzrovia W1

Media offices, university buildings and Georgian terraces around Charlotte Street for Fitzrovia (W1) addresses. Georgian terraces in flats, 1930s mansion blocks and new apartments off Tottenham Court Road in this 98% flats neighbourhood. That stock is why most W1 jobs turn on keeping a tenancy safe — blocked communal routes and fire loading are what bring most of these jobs to us on Westminster bookings — and 2% of Fitzrovia homes being houses, with 4,257 households on this patch. Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor on the Fitzrovia rounds. The nearest fixed point we work from is Goodge Street (Northern), a short run from The BT Tower on this side of Westminster, with 4,257 households on this patch.

Tenure matters more than most people expect. 28% of Westminster homes are owner-occupied, 28% socially rented and 43% privately rented across 94,816 households on the streets near The BT Tower, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. In Fitzrovia the homes we work in are mostly flats where a housing officer or support worker is often already involved on W1 jobs, with Westminster parking rules in play — and this being a short walk from Goodge Street (Northern), and what suits them is a safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team, 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: Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor.

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.

Why Hello Services

What working with us in Fitzrovia actually looks like

Your decisions, every time

A sorting station goes up before anything moves around Goodge Street (Northern), with 98% of homes here being flats, and the four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided — are yours to fill. In Fitzrovia as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van in Fitzrovia, with this being Westminster City Council territory.

Honest about the pace

We will tell you at the survey whether Fitzrovia job is realistically one day or five on Westminster bookings — and Westminster parking rules in play, with 2% of Fitzrovia 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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 28% social-rented stock nearby, 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 W1 jobs, with this being a short walk from Goodge Street (Northern), and early or weekend starts at no surcharge. Neighbours in Westminster do not need to know anything at all around Goodge Street (Northern).

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 W1 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.

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.

Access and carry
Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. Carry distance and stair flights change the number of operatives we send, and both are counted at the survey.
Permits and charges
Part of Westminster sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ — both are inside the quoted price. Westminster City Council permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us.
Housing stock
Georgian terraces in flats, 1930s mansion blocks and new apartments off Tottenham Court Road. With 90% of Westminster 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 Fitzrovia and what honestly is not

Every Fitzrovia W1 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 Fitzrovia 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 W1 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.

This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

The service and results were very good. We gave them a probably harder job than others for a small apartment deep clean that was still cluttered by the many belongings of the person living in it. They took to the job well, worked hard over many hours and produced very acceptable results. The only issue… Read in full →

They did a thorough job and were flexible - rather than doing tasks that didn’t need doing ( although they were on the quote) they were willing to clean other things instead. They were polite, friendly and respectful.
