Brent · NW10 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Harlesden fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide hoarder clearance in Harlesden NW10 for houses and flats around The Jubilee Clock. From £240, quoted in writing before the visit, with two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Harlesden, hoarder clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £240. With 78% of Harlesden's 5,538 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW10 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only.
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. Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a NW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in NW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Harlesden stock goes, where 24% 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 Harlesden
In Harlesden (NW10) the split is 78% flats to 22% houses over 5,538 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 41% private renting against 24% owner-occupied, most NW10 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in NW10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Harlesden stock goes, where 24% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Jubilee Clock, Caribbean food shops and a working high street. That character decides the practical detail of hoarder clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Harlesden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only. Nearest station is Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), 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 Harlesden on the Harlesden rounds, with 22% of Harlesden homes being houses, 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 in this 78% flats neighbourhood, with 24% owner-occupation locally, 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 on the Harlesden rounds, with 35% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Harlesden most weeks across NW10, with 24% owner-occupation locally.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across NW10, with 41% of NW10 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Harlesden rounds. With 78% of Harlesden homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Brent bookings, with 24% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), 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 on Brent bookings — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Brent territory, 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 Harlesden NW10 price you agree is the price you pay on the Harlesden rounds, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 41% of Harlesden privately rented and 24% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across NW10 — and 41% of NW10 homes being privately rented, with 35% social-rented stock nearby.
The Jubilee Clock is the marker we route to on the Harlesden rounds, with this being a short walk from Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), and very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only. A NW10 slot added to an existing Brent round usually lands the same week rather than the next on NW10 jobs, with 24% owner-occupation locally.
