Croydon · CR0 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Addiscombe fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide hoarder clearance in Addiscombe CR0 for houses and flats around Ashburton Park. 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 mixed-tenure households around Addiscombe, hoarder clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £240. With 42% of Addiscombe's 11,026 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR0 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
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. Addiscombe (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR0 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in CR0, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Addiscombe gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops.
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 Addiscombe
In Addiscombe (CR0) the split is 42% flats to 58% houses over 11,026 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
The mixed-tenure mix here (54% owned, 33% privately rented) means a CR0 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Addiscombe is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Addiscombe gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Addiscombe 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 — tree-lined Edwardian streets and a small parade east of central Croydon — which is why a CR0 quote is not a Croydon average.
On access, tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops — one reason two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request. Fitters travelling in use Addiscombe (Tramlink).

Single room clearance starts at £240 in Addiscombe across CR0, with Ashburton Park 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 in this 42% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Addiscombe (Tramlink) — and Croydon parking rules in play, 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 Addiscombe, with 54% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Addiscombe most weeks on Croydon bookings, with this being a short walk from Addiscombe (Tramlink).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Ashburton Park, with Ashburton Park a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Ashburton Park. With 42% of Addiscombe homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on CR0 jobs, with 54% owner-occupation locally — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, 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 CR0, with 58% of Addiscombe homes being houses — and this being London Borough of Croydon 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 Addiscombe CR0 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Croydon, with Ashburton Park a few streets away.
All three. With 33% of Addiscombe privately rented and 54% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR0 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Croydon bookings — and 33% of CR0 homes being privately rented, with 13% social-rented stock nearby.
Ashburton Park is the marker we route to on the Addiscombe rounds, with this being a short walk from Addiscombe (Tramlink), and tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops. A CR0 slot added to an existing Croydon round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Addiscombe (CR0) addresses, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
