Overview

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
Two to three days as standard, next day where access to the block has already been confirmed by the resident or managing agent. Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE24 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and railway-bridge height limits on half moon lane and permit-only side streets in SE24, 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 Herne Hill stock goes, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets.
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 Herne Hill
Herne Hill SE24 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 27% of homes here are flats and 73% are houses, across 3,150 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (69% owned, 19% privately rented) means a SE24 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, and railway-bridge height limits on half moon lane and permit-only side streets, so the fixing that matters in Herne Hill is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Herne Hill stock goes, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Herne Hill 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 — brockwell Park, the velodrome and a compact village of independents — which is why a SE24 quote is not a Southwark average.
Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets. Nearest station is Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern), 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.

Single garage, light contents starts at £95 in Herne Hill across SE24, with 3,150 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Whether the garage was used for light storage or as a workshop on this side of Southwark. Timber, metal and old machinery take longer to sort and weigh more per load than boxed household items on SE24 jobs, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern), with 3,150 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Herne Hill most weeks on SE24 jobs, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood.
In Herne Hill, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Southwark, with 27% of homes here being flats. Ask for it in writing before the SE24 visit and it is on the job sheet.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Herne Hill (SE24) addresses. With 27% of Herne Hill homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Herne Hill, with 20% one-person households here — and this being a short walk from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Removal of the garage door, roof or structure itself, which is a building works job; Fuel in vehicle tanks or drums of liquid chemical, with 69% owner-occupation locally, 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 for Herne Hill (SE24) addresses — and 19% of SE24 homes being privately rented, which needs a licensed removal contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Herne Hill SE24 price you agree is the price you pay in this 27% flats neighbourhood, with 12% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 19% of Herne Hill privately rented and 69% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE24 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SE24 jobs, with 69% owner-occupation locally — and Brockwell Park and Lido a few streets away.
Brockwell Park and Lido is the marker we route to in Herne Hill, with 27% of homes here being flats, and railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets. A SE24 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Herne Hill (SE24) addresses, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
