Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Hanwell, hoarder clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £240. With 45% of Hanwell's 3,219 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W7 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 some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around The Wharncliffe Viaduct in W7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W7, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 3,219 households inside the W7 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. Narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere.
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. Hanwell (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a W7 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.

Working in Hanwell
Walk Hanwell from The Wharncliffe Viaduct outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 45% of the 3,219 households in W7 live in flats, 55% in houses.
31% of households rent privately and 55% own, which is why hoarder clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around The Wharncliffe Viaduct behind the plaster in W7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in W7, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 3,219 households inside the W7 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Hanwell: the Wharncliffe Viaduct, the Brent valley and a village-like clock tower centre. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Hanwell is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. Nearest station is Hanwell (Elizabeth line), 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 Hanwell, with 31% of W7 homes being privately rented, 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 W7 jobs, with Ealing parking rules in play — and this being London Borough of Ealing territory, 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 Ealing bookings, with this being London Borough of Ealing territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hanwell most weeks on the Hanwell rounds, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
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 The Wharncliffe Viaduct, with 3,219 households on this patch.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on W7 jobs. With 45% of Hanwell homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Hanwell (Elizabeth line) — and 45% of homes here being flats, with 14% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 31% of Hanwell privately rented and 55% owner-occupied, roughly half the W7 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Hanwell (Elizabeth line), with Ealing parking rules in play.
The Wharncliffe Viaduct is the marker we route to on W7 jobs, with 31% of W7 homes being privately rented, and narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. A W7 slot added to an existing Ealing round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near The Wharncliffe Viaduct, with this being London Borough of Ealing territory.
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 on Ealing bookings — and this being a short walk from Hanwell (Elizabeth line), with 14% social-rented stock nearby. Hanwell sits close to Hanwell (Elizabeth line), with 55% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a W7 job to an existing Ealing round at short notice in this 45% flats neighbourhood.
