Kensington and Chelsea · W8 · End of tenancy clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kensington fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide end of tenancy clearance in Kensington W8 for houses and flats around Kensington Palace. From £140, quoted in writing before the visit, with two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
End of tenancy clearance in Kensington W8 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 13,346 households sit inside this W8 patch, 83% of them flats, so we quote on access near Kensington Palace rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
We work back from the inventory clerk's appointment time, because a clearance that finishes after the check-out walk-round has missed the point of the job.
Step 2
Volume estimated from photos or a quick visit, so the quote reflects what has actually been left rather than a generic per-room rate.
Step 3
Building entry codes, lift booking or a CPZ suspension arranged in advance for blocks with restricted loading.
Step 4
Left items removed, sorted for donation or disposal, and any communal or storage areas covered by the let cleared with them.
Step 5
Photographs of the empty property emailed the same day, ready to attach to the check-out report.
Why choose us
Next-day as standard, same-day where the check-out appointment allows a morning booking. Weekend slots are available for agents working to a Saturday move-out. High Street Kensington (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a W8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in W8, 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 in W8, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 46% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Registered waste carrier. A waste transfer note is issued on request, which most managing agents keep on file alongside the check-out report and deposit deduction paperwork.
Two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift. Mansion blocks with cage lifts and porter sign-in; Kensington High Street loading windows are short.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed left items clear | £140 | 1–2 hrs | Priced for the volume a departing tenant typically leaves behind — a bed, a sofa and a few bags of belongings rather than a full house. |
| Two/three-bed full clearance | £320 | 2–4 hrs | A full property clear where the tenant has left completely, including anything the inventory check-out list flags as removed rather than damaged. |
| Single item, tenant abandoned | £55 | 30–45 min | One sofa, mattress or wardrobe left behind after a move-out, quoted per item so a landlord is not paying for a full clearance minimum. |
| Storage or garage clear-out, per property | £180 | 1–2 hrs | Communal or private storage attached to the let, cleared before the next tenant's check-in inventory is drawn up. |
| Same-day clearance before check-out | £220 | 2–3 hrs | Booked against a fixed check-out appointment with the inventory clerk, which means the crew has to be first on site, not fitted around a normal run. |
| Clearance plus end of tenancy clean, per property | £480 | Half day | One booking covering both the clear and the inventory-standard clean, which is cheaper and faster than co-ordinating two separate contractors on the same deadline. |

Scope
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again. I had furniture assembly and clearance work to be done, and again it was done very professionally to a very high standard, and with absolute politeness at all times. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Kensington
In Kensington (W8) the split is 83% flats to 17% houses over 13,346 households, and the stock is period conversion.
With 46% private renting against 35% owner-occupied, most W8 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Kensington substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in W8, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 46% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a W8 customer twice.
Kensington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the high street, palace gardens and the quiet garden squares of Kensington proper — which is why a W8 quote is not a Kensington and Chelsea average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: mansion blocks with cage lifts and porter sign-in; Kensington High Street loading windows are short. High Street Kensington (Circle, District) is the nearest station, and two operatives with a Luton van as standard, scaling to a second vehicle for a full three-bed or a property with no lift.

Studio or one-bed left items clear starts at £140 in Kensington on W8 jobs, with 13,346 households on this patch — and 19% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. How much was actually left behind, not the size of the property on the streets near Kensington Palace. A one-bed with a full house of abandoned furniture costs more than a three-bed left broom-clean across W8, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on W8 jobs, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kensington most weeks on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on W8 jobs, with 83% of homes here being flats.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on W8 jobs. With 83% of Kensington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Kensington rounds — and 13,346 households on this patch, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
The end of tenancy clean itself, quoted and booked separately unless taken as the combined package; Structural damage repair, redecoration or making good marks left by furniture; Items the outgoing tenant disputes ownership of on Kensington and Chelsea bookings — and 17% of Kensington homes being houses, with this being a short walk from High Street Kensington (Circle, District), which we leave in place pending agreement; Hazardous household waste such as old paint tins or gas canisters, booked as a separate collection. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Kensington W8 price you agree is the price you pay on the Kensington rounds, with 35% owner-occupation locally.
All three. With 46% of Kensington privately rented and 35% owner-occupied, roughly half the W8 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Kensington rounds — and Kensington Palace a few streets away, with 83% of homes here being flats.
Kensington Palace is the marker we route to for Kensington (W8) addresses, with 46% of W8 homes being privately rented, and mansion blocks with cage lifts and porter sign-in; Kensington High Street loading windows are short. A W8 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Kensington Palace, with this being a short walk from High Street Kensington (Circle, District).
