Camden · NW1 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Primrose Hill fitters · Fixed written pricesHoarder clearance in Primrose Hill NW1, Camden, from £240. Pastel terraces around the hill with the best skyline view in north London, which is why our NW1 quotes account for very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace. You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Chalk Farm, hoarder clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £240. With 80% of Primrose Hill's 3,616 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW1 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
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Primrose Hill summit in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in NW1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 3,616 households inside the NW1 neighbourhood.
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 narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace.
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. Chalk Farm (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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.
