- Free, no-obligation survey — in person or by video call, whichever is easier
- Fixed written price from £450 — £350 minimum attended visit

How it works
Hoarder clean-up in Westminster in three steps
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
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
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 Westminster SW1P
Congestion Charge, security-controlled streets and pre-booked loading for most blocks on the Westminster rounds. Mansion flats, post-war blocks and a small number of Georgian houses on SW1P jobs. Government offices, the Abbey and a compact residential quarter around Horseferry Road around St James's Park (Circle and District). Both go into the plan before a date is booked across SW1P — and 43% of SW1P homes being privately rented, with 43% one-person households here, because carry distance and stair flights change how many people we send, not what we charge you per hour — St James's Park (Circle and District) and Westminster Abbey set the route in and out.
4. In Westminster that mix means the homes we are called to are mostly flats where a housing officer or support worker is often already involved — and 10% of Westminster homes being houses, and the route that usually works is a safeguarding-led programme run alongside the housing team for Westminster (SW1P) addresses, with 94,816 households on this patch, 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: Congestion Charge, security-controlled streets and pre-booked loading for most blocks.

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.
Why Hello Services
What working with us in Westminster actually looks like
Your decisions, every time
A sorting station goes up before anything moves on the streets near Westminster Abbey, with 28% owner-occupation locally, and the four trays — keep, donate, recycle, undecided — are yours to fill. In Westminster as everywhere, an item you are unsure about goes to the undecided tray, not to the van across SW1P, with 94,816 households on this patch.
Honest about the pace
We will tell you at the survey whether Westminster job is realistically one day or five on Westminster bookings, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood — and 90% of homes here being flats, 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 90% flats neighbourhood, with this being Westminster City Council 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 in this 90% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from St James's Park (Circle and District), and early or weekend starts at no surcharge. Neighbours in Westminster do not need to know anything at all on Westminster bookings.
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.

- Access and carry
- Congestion Charge, security-controlled streets and pre-booked loading for most blocks. 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
- Mansion flats, post-war blocks and a small number of Georgian houses. 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

- 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 SW1P 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.

Sadar came to do the cleaning of all appliances in my house and he did an extremely good job! There were a lot of items and in 4 hours everything was spotless!
Jose and his wife did a great job communicating with me and then doing the end of tenancy cleaning on my flat. I recommend them with no reservations.
