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
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. Tolworth (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Tolworth (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in KT5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Tolworth stock goes, where 63% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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.
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. A3 access is fast but unloadable; residential streets have driveways.

Scope

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.

Working in Tolworth
In Tolworth (KT5) the split is 25% flats to 74% houses over 3,374 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 28% private renting against 63% owner-occupied, most KT5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Tolworth (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Tolworth is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Tolworth stock goes, where 63% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Tolworth is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Tolworth Tower landmark on the A3 and quiet 1930s residential grids — which is why a KT5 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
A3 access is fast but unloadable; residential streets have driveways. Nearest station is Tolworth (South Western), and 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.
