Overview
This page prices hoarder clearance for Charlton SE7 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 20% privately rented and 5,904 households in total. Work starts at £240, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich 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
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. Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads.
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. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE7, 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 Charlton stock goes, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 Charlton
5,904 households sit inside the SE7 neighbourhood covering Charlton. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 48% of those homes are flats.
With 20% private renting against 41% owner-occupied, most SE7 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Charlton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Charlton stock goes, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SE7 customer twice.
Jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. That character decides the practical detail of hoarder clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads — 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 Charlton (Southeastern).

Single room clearance starts at £240 in Charlton in this 48% flats neighbourhood, with 38% social-rented stock nearby, 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 across SE7, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood — and Charlton House a few streets away, 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 Charlton rounds, with 41% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Charlton most weeks across SE7, with this being a short walk from Charlton (Southeastern).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Charlton, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.

With 48% of Charlton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 48% flats neighbourhood — and 20% of SE7 homes being privately rented, with 41% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Charlton House is the marker we route to on the streets near Charlton House, with 48% of homes here being flats, and match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads.
