Camden · NW3 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Hampstead fitters · Fixed written pricesHampstead NW3 is a regular stop on our Camden round. Georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep, so hoarder clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £240, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices hoarder clearance for Hampstead NW3 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 45% privately rented and 11,433 households in total. Work starts at £240, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden 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
Two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request. Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond.
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. Hampstead (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
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.

Private renting sits at 45% and owner-occupation at 39%; the first group books hoarder clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Hampstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Anyone who knows Hampstead knows the pattern near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House: georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep. We plan the NW3 visit around it. Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond. Nearest station is Hampstead (Northern), and two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request.

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across NW3, with 39% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hampstead most weeks on this side of Camden, with 17% 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 Hampstead, with 17% social-rented stock nearby.

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 for Hampstead (NW3) addresses — and 45% of NW3 homes being privately rented, with this being a short walk from Hampstead (Northern), 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.
