How it works
Step 1
We talk through the situation with whoever is coordinating — family member, social worker or the individual themselves — before any visit is booked.
Step 2
A schedule that suits the household is set, whether that is one long day or several shorter visits, rather than a schedule that suits the van.
Step 3
Every room is worked through by hand, with valuables, documents and anything flagged by the family set aside before waste is loaded.
Step 4
Any contaminated or soiled material is bagged separately under PPE and moved on its own licensed disposal route.
Step 5
Once the contents are out, a deep clean is booked and the property handed back photographed, with no images shared beyond the family.
Why choose us
Same-week for a single room, one to two weeks for a severe multi-room clear where the pace has to be agreed with the household or the professional managing the case first. East Finchley (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in N2, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in N2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is East Finchley gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around The Phoenix Cinema.
Registered waste carrier with a transfer note for every load and a separate consignment route for biohazard material. Staff are briefed on discretion and safeguarding before any hoarding job, and no photograph leaves the file without written permission.
Two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request. Narrower terraced streets near the station with permit bays; driveways further out.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single room clearance | £240 | 3–4 hrs | One badly affected room sorted by hand rather than shovelled, because valuables and paperwork can be mixed into the same pile as rubbish. |
| One-bed flat, moderate hoarding | £620 | 1 day | Every room sorted, walkways reopened and a full van run booked, priced for the volume rather than the floor area since a hoarded flat holds far more than an ordinary one. |
| Two/three-bed house, severe hoarding | £1,450 | 2–3 days | Multiple vehicle loads and a phased sort across every room, often with items stacked to ceiling height that have to be worked down layer by layer for safety. |
| Biohazard and sharps handling, per visit | £180 | 1–2 hrs | Contaminated bedding, soiled material or found sharps need PPE, a separate waste stream and a licensed disposal route rather than a standard bag. |
| Garden and outbuilding clearance, added | £280 | half day | Hoarding frequently extends into a garden, shed or garage, which is quoted separately because the access and the waste mix are different from the house. |
| Post-clearance deep clean handover | £340 | 4–6 hrs | Once the contents are out, a deep clean is often what actually returns the property to a liveable or lettable state, and we hand it over photographed. |

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.

Working in East Finchley
In East Finchley (N2) the split is 61% flats to 39% houses over 4,192 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 33% private renting against 51% owner-occupied, most N2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in N2, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Barnet kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in East Finchley is chosen on site — the usual failure here is East Finchley gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around The Phoenix Cinema.
East Finchley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Phoenix cinema, Cherry Tree Wood and streets of Edwardian terraces — which is why a N2 quote is not a Barnet average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrower terraced streets near the station with permit bays; driveways further out. East Finchley (Northern) is the nearest station, and two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request.

Single room clearance starts at £240 in East Finchley for East Finchley (N2) addresses, with 16% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume and severity, not floor area. A single room stacked to the ceiling can take longer than an ordinary two-bed flat on Barnet bookings — and Barnet parking rules in play, with The Phoenix Cinema a few streets away, and biohazard material adds its own handling cost regardless of the room count.

With 61% of East Finchley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Barnet — and The Phoenix Cinema a few streets away, with 51% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Narrower terraced streets near the station with permit bays; driveways further out on Barnet bookings.
