London clearance · South London
We work in Merton every week — wimbledon's village and tennis, mitcham's commons and the wandle valley industry at colliers wood. Clearance services is priced against that reality, not a national average.
Fixed prices

| Half-load (approx. 6 cubic yards) | £200 | 1–2 hrs | A typical garage or one-bedroom flat clear-out including loose bagged waste. |
| Full Luton load (approx. 12 cubic yards) | £380 | 2–4 hrs | Full van, two crew, transfer-station charge and the waste transfer note included. |
| Fridge, freezer or air-con unit | £65 | 20–30 min | Gas-containing appliances go to a WEEE-permitted site, which charges per unit. |
| Garden or builders' waste, per cubic yard | £70 | By volume | Soil, rubble and hardcore are heavy: those loads are capped by weight, not space. |

Working in Merton
The stock in Merton is edwardian villas in wimbledon, 1930s semis in raynes park and morden, and estates around mitcham, and the mix changes street by street — Colliers Wood (SW19), Mitcham (CR4) and Morden (SM4) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: championship-fortnight restrictions in sw19, hill access to wimbledon village, and driveways common further out. Locally that means high street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts and tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. Merton sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Using London Borough of Merton's bulky collection is a legitimate option in Merton; where it falls down is items over the size limit, same-week deadlines and anything from a communal area. Those are the jobs we pick up.
Merton Priory and Wandle mills gave way to Victorian and interwar suburbs once the railway reached Wimbledon in 1838. That history is why Merton property behaves the way it does today.
Scope
Method
Step 1
Send photos of each room or a walk-through video and you get a fixed price, not a per-hour guess.
Step 2
Volume, tip charges, permits and any access cost itemised in one figure with the waste-carrier licence number on it.
Step 3
Anything reusable is set aside for reuse or charity before the rest is loaded.
Step 4
The crew carries everything out; you never need to move items to the kerb.
Step 5
Waste transfer note with the site, weight and date arrives by email the same day.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Whole-property clears, probate and end-of-tenancy strip-outs, sorted room by room.
When the load is moving somewhere rather than going to a transfer station.
Local moving crews working from the same borough, not across the city.
A van and driver for the load you have, priced by size rather than by guesswork.
Single item collection starts at £45 in Merton, and the ladder runs up to £70 for the largest job on the table above. Volume and weight set the price. Access adds to it: stairs above the second floor with no lift, red-route frontages and permit-only bays are the three things that move a London quote. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: CR4, SM4, SW19 and SW20. On the ground that includes Colliers Wood, Mitcham, Morden, Raynes Park, Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park.
Most borough bookings are covered within 48 hours, and same-day slots are usually available before 10am. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Championship-fortnight restrictions in SW19, hill access to Wimbledon Village, and driveways common further out. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Merton and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Edwardian villas in Wimbledon, 1930s semis in Raynes Park and Morden, and estates around Mitcham is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
We are a registered upper-tier waste carrier and issue a waste transfer note for every load — the document that protects you from a fly-tipping fine if your waste is later found dumped. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Merton tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
Standard crews are two people with a 3.5-tonne Luton; bigger clears run two vans or return the same day rather than overfilling. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Merton postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Hazardous waste — asbestos, paint tins, solvents, gas bottles and clinical waste need a specialist carrier, Structural demolition or removal of anything fixed to the building and Loft or cellar clears where the access is unsafe until it has been surveyed. If something on that list turns up in Merton, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Really pleased to have used Hello Services. We had a shed we needed assembling, and Adam made sure it went up smoothly. It was such a relief to see him assess the base, judge what needed doing, and then at the end of the day a brand new shed was standing strong and tall in… Read in full →
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.
