Overview
This page prices hoarder clearance for Crayford DA1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 16% privately rented and 9,135 households in total. Work starts at £240, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bexley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
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. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in DA1, 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 Crayford stock goes, where 57% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Crayford
In Crayford (DA1) the split is 28% flats to 72% houses over 9,135 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 16% of Crayford is privately rented and 26% socially rented, a lot of DA1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Crayford substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Crayford stock goes, where 57% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a DA1 customer twice.
The Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. That character decides the practical detail of hoarder clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Crayford 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: wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Crayford (Southeastern) 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 Crayford around Crayford (Southeastern), with Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away, 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 the Crayford rounds, with 26% social-rented stock nearby — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, and biohazard material adds its own handling cost regardless of the room count.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Crayford, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Crayford most weeks around Crayford (Southeastern), with 28% of homes here being flats.
In Crayford, 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 Bexley, with Bexley parking rules in play. That covers hoarder clearance prices on Crayford jobs too.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Bexley. With 28% of Crayford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across DA1, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory — and 28% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Structural repairs, pest control or damp treatment, which are specialist trades we can recommend; Valuation of items found — we set valuables aside for the family or executor to assess; Ongoing support or counselling across DA1, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory — and Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away, which sits with the social worker or health professional on the case; Forced entry or work without either the occupant's or a legally authorised person's consent. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Crayford DA1 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Bexley, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 16% of Crayford privately rented and 57% owner-occupied, roughly half the DA1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Crayford (Southeastern) — and Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away, with Bexley parking rules in play.
Crayford Greyhound Stadium is the marker we route to on DA1 jobs, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, and wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. A DA1 slot added to an existing Bexley round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Crayford (Southeastern), with 9,135 households on this patch.
