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 operatives with a transit-sized van as standard, upsized to a Luton for a double garage or a lock-up with heavy workshop contents. Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets.
Two to three days as standard, next day where access to the block has already been confirmed by the resident or managing agent. Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW11, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Battersea Power Station in SW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Wandsworth 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.
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 Battersea
Census 2021 puts Battersea at 6,832 households with a median age of 35.2. The mainly Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 13% houses and 87% flats need different handling in SW11.
Owner-occupation runs at 38% in Battersea, so alongside the 33% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Battersea substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW11, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Battersea Power Station. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a SW11 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Battersea knows the pattern near Battersea Power Station: the rebuilt power station, riverside towers and Victorian streets around the park. We plan the SW11 visit around it. Battersea 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: estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. Battersea Power Station (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 around Battersea Power Station (Northern), with 28% 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 in Battersea, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Battersea rounds. With 87% of Battersea homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SW11 jobs, with 6,832 households on this patch — and this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Registered waste carrier with a separate route for household hazardous waste on Wandsworth bookings. Producer responsibility charges for tyres are shown on the quote rather than absorbed into a mixed rate in this 87% flats neighbourhood, with 33% of SW11 homes being privately rented. That paperwork is what most Wandsworth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on SW11 jobs, with 28% social-rented stock nearby.
Removal of the garage door, roof or structure itself, which is a building works job; Fuel in vehicle tanks or drums of liquid chemical across SW11, 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, with Wandsworth parking rules in play — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, which needs a licensed removal contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Battersea SW11 price you agree is the price you pay on the Battersea rounds, with 87% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 33% of Battersea privately rented and 38% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SW11 — and 28% social-rented stock nearby, with 34% one-person households here.
