Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Sloane Square, school clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £220. With 78% of Chelsea's 8,944 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW3 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
DBS checks confirmed, visitor sign-in arranged and the holiday access window agreed with the site manager before a date is booked.
Step 2
Furniture, ICT and equipment logged room by room, including a keep, donate or dispose decision against each item.
Step 3
Computers, servers and networked equipment are logged and removed for certified destruction ahead of general furniture clearance.
Step 4
Rooms cleared in the agreed sequence so the site is ready before staff and pupils return for the new term.
Step 5
Data destruction certificates, transfer notes and photographs handed to the site manager for the school's own records.
Why choose us
Two to four operatives for a single-building clear, scaling to two teams working in parallel where a full primary site has to be finished inside a two-week holiday window. Cadogan estate parking rules, King's Road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits.
Booked against the school holiday calendar, typically confirmed four to six weeks ahead for a full site clear; single classroom or office clears can be scheduled inside the working week outside term time. Sloane Square (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a SW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 78% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Chelsea actually produces in SW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 45% one-person households in Chelsea, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
DBS-checked crews working to a signed safeguarding log, with certified data destruction for ICT equipment and a waste transfer note issued for every visit.

Hannah and her friend were friendly and thoughtful. They were very professional and hard working. They also turned a junk room into a nice bedroom. I cannot thank them or praise them enough.
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

Chelsea substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 78% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Chelsea actually produces.
