London pricing

London hoarder clearance prices.

Hoarding clearances are priced by volume and severity, not by floor area, because a single room stacked to the ceiling can take longer to sort safely than an ordinary flat. Biohazard material is quoted separately because it needs its own PPE, its own bags and its own disposal route.
London hoarder clearance prices by scope and severity
JobLondon fromTypical timeWhy the London price differs
Single room clearance£2403–4 hrsOne badly affected room sorted by hand, because valuables and paperwork can be mixed into the same pile as rubbish.
One-bed flat, moderate hoarding£6201 dayEvery room sorted and walkways reopened, priced for volume since a hoarded flat holds far more than an ordinary one.
Two/three-bed house, severe hoarding£1,4502–3 daysMultiple vehicle loads and a phased sort, often working down material stacked to ceiling height layer by layer for safety.
Biohazard and sharps handling, per visit£1801–2 hrsContaminated bedding or found sharps need PPE and a separate licensed waste stream rather than a standard bag.
Garden and outbuilding clearance, added£280half dayHoarding often extends into a garden, shed or garage, quoted separately because the access and waste mix differ from the house.
Post-clearance deep clean handover£3404–6 hrsOnce contents are out, a deep clean is often what actually returns the property to a liveable state.

Prices include VAT. We only act on confirmed authority from the occupant, family or executor, and we agree the pace and schedule with them before a date is booked rather than fitting the job to a fixed daily rate.

Working in London

How hoarder clearance works in a London property.

Every hoarding case is different, but London's housing stock and the way its councils manage safeguarding cases both shape how a clear is actually run.

Flat access changes the plan

A significant share of London's hoarding cases sit in flats above ground level, often in blocks with a single narrow staircase and no lift. Waste has to be carried down bag by bag rather than wheeled out, which is why a one-bed flat clear can take a full day where a similarly sized house does not.

Where the block has a managing agent, we confirm bin store access and any restriction on hallway obstruction before the first visit, so the clearance does not fall foul of the block's own rules halfway through.

Safeguarding comes before speed

Where a social worker, GP or housing officer is already involved, we work to their plan and report progress back to them rather than to a family member who may not have full visibility of the case. Statutory access notices, if any exist, are checked before work starts.

We never push a household to clear faster than they can manage. A schedule of shorter visits over several weeks is common, and it is agreed at the outset rather than renegotiated on the day.

Bulky waste limits make council collections impractical

Most London councils cap bulky waste collections at a handful of items per booking, which cannot absorb the volume a severe hoarding case produces. We book our own licensed disposal route so the household is never waiting weeks between council visits for a job that needs several vans.

Discretion is part of the job

Unmarked vehicles and plain clothing are available on request, and no photograph of the property is shared with anyone beyond the person who instructed us. For many families, that discretion matters as much as the clearance itself.

How it works

    Pick a morning or afternoon window, including evenings and weekends. You get a named team, a text before arrival and paperwork on completion.

London questions

London hoarder clearance questions.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

  • How much does hoarder clearance cost in London?

    A single room starts at £240, a one-bed flat with moderate hoarding from £620, and a severe two- or three-bedroom house from £1,450. Biohazard handling is £180 a visit and a post-clear deep clean £340. All prices include VAT.

  • Will you keep the clearance confidential?

    Yes. We can attend in unmarked vehicles and plain clothing on request, and we do not share photographs of the property with anyone beyond the person who instructed us.

  • What happens to valuables and paperwork found during the clear?

    Everything is sorted by hand before it is loaded. Valuables, documents, photographs and anything the family flags in advance are set aside separately rather than mixed into the waste stream.

  • Do you work with social workers or housing officers?

    Yes. Where a case is already being managed, we work to that professional's access plan and report progress back to them, so the household is not left explaining the same thing twice.

  • How do you handle biohazard material or sharps?

    Contaminated bedding, soiled material or found sharps are bagged separately under PPE and moved on their own licensed disposal route, never mixed with general household waste.

  • Can the clearance be spread over several visits?

    Yes. Many hoarding clearances are scheduled over several shorter visits rather than one long day, agreed with the household or the professional managing the case before we start.

  • How quickly can you attend?

    Same-week for a single room. A severe multi-room clear usually needs one to two weeks' notice so the pace can be agreed properly with the household first.
