How it works
Step 1
Contents assessed by photo where possible, since a garage's volume is usually clear from a couple of wide shots rather than a full survey visit.
Step 2
Block entry, communal gate codes or lock cutting arranged before the van is booked, so the crew is not stood outside a locked compound.
Step 3
Everything split into keep, donate, recycle and dispose as it comes out, rather than loaded as one mixed tip run.
Step 4
Paint, oil, batteries and gas cylinders set aside for their own registered disposal route rather than mixed into the load.
Step 5
Floor swept and photos sent the same day, ready for a sale particulars pack or an estate management file.
Why choose us
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in N20, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in N20, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Registered waste carrier with a separate route for household hazardous waste. Producer responsibility charges for tyres are shown on the quote rather than absorbed into a mixed rate.
Two operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents. Long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances.
Two to three days as standard, next day where access to the block has already been confirmed by the resident or managing agent. Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N20 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage, light contents | £95 | 45–60 min | A garage used for general storage rather than a workshop — boxes, a bike, garden tools and offcuts of timber. |
| Single garage, full workshop contents | £165 | 1–2 hrs | Heavier loads of timber, metal, old tools and a workbench take longer to sort and carry than boxed household storage. |
| Double garage or lock-up, full clear | £250 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | Roughly double the volume of a single garage, and estate lock-ups often need the block access arranged before the van can load. |
| Tyres, per item | £8 | Included | Tyres are charged separately at the tip gate under producer responsibility rules and cannot go in a mixed load without that charge applying. |
| Paint, oil and chemical disposal, per small load | £45 | By arrangement | Household hazardous waste needs a carrier registered for that stream and a separate route to a licensed facility, not the general clearance van. |
| Lock cutting or forced access, per garage | £35 | 15–20 min | Where the original key has been lost, which is common on older estate lock-up blocks, a locksmith-grade cutter and a replacement padlock are needed before the clear can start. |

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 →

Working in Totteridge
Census 2021 puts Totteridge at 3,519 households with a median age of 44.4. The mixed-era stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 85% houses and 12% flats need different handling in N20.
Owner-occupation runs at 75% in Totteridge, so alongside the 14% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in N20. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in N20, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Totteridge: green-belt lane of large houses, paddocks and a village pond. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Totteridge is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: long gravel drives, narrow lanes without passing places and gated entrances. Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern) is the nearest station, and two operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents.

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across N20, with 75% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Totteridge most weeks on this side of Barnet, with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), with 12% of homes here being flats.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Totteridge rounds. With 12% of Totteridge homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on N20 jobs — and 14% of N20 homes being privately rented, with this being a short walk from Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

Removal of the garage door, roof or structure itself, with 11% social-rented stock nearby — and 12% of homes here being flats, which is a building works job; Fuel in vehicle tanks or drums of liquid chemical on N20 jobs, which needs a specialist hazardous waste carrier; Items belonging to a neighbour or a previous occupant where ownership has not been confirmed; Asbestos garage roof sheeting, common on 1960s and 1970s estate lock-ups, which needs a licensed removal contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Totteridge N20 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Totteridge Green and the village pond, with 85% of Totteridge homes being houses.
All three. With 14% of Totteridge privately rented and 75% owner-occupied, roughly half the N20 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across N20 — and 14% of N20 homes being privately rented, with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
