Overview
Hoarder clearance in Greenwich SE10, explained
This page prices hoarder clearance for Greenwich SE10 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 31% privately rented and 17,397 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
How hoarder clearance works in Greenwich
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Greenwich stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Confidential conversation first
We talk through the situation with whoever is coordinating — family member, social worker or the individual themselves — before any visit is booked.
Step 2
Access and pace agreed
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
Room-by-room sort
Every room is worked through by hand, with valuables, documents and anything flagged by the family set aside before waste is loaded.
Step 4
Biohazard streams separated
Any contaminated or soiled material is bagged separately under PPE and moved on its own licensed disposal route.
Step 5
Deep clean and handover
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
Why Greenwich customers book us
What follows is specific to Greenwich: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
Booked around your day
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. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Greenwich walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood.
Insured and documented
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
Hoarder clearance prices in Greenwich
Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. Volume and severity, not floor area. A single room stacked to the ceiling can take longer than an ordinary two-bed flat, and biohazard material adds its own handling cost regardless of the room count.
| 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
What's included in Greenwich
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE10 jobs: sorting by hand, room by room, for valuables, documents and anything the family has asked us to keep aside, hoarder clearance included
- In Greenwich: pPE and a separate waste stream for biohazard, soiled material or sharps found during the sort, sized for the cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access
- Working at the pace agreed with the household, family or the professional managing the case, checked on every SE10 visit
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: liaison with a social worker, housing officer or family member as the single point of contact, with 17,397 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SE10 jobs: unmarked vehicles and plain clothing on request, with no branding on the day, with 73% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Greenwich: deep clean handover once the contents have been removed, so the property is left liveable, the way it is done on Greenwich jobs
Not included
- Structural repairs, pest control or damp treatment, which are specialist trades we can recommend, outside the fixed price on Greenwich bookings
- Valuation of items found — we set valuables aside for the family or executor to assess, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10
- Ongoing support or counselling, which sits with the social worker or health professional on the case, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Forced entry or work without either the occupant's or a legally authorised person's consent, and we will say so before the SE10 visit rather than on the day

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a hoarder clearance quote.
Census 2021 puts Greenwich at 17,397 households with a median age of 32.6. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 27% houses and 73% flats need different handling in SE10.
Private renting sits at 31% and owner-occupation at 40%; the first group books hoarder clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Greenwich knows the pattern near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark: world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill. We plan the SE10 visit around it. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. Nearest station is Cutty Sark (DLR), and two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request.

Common questions
Hoarder clearance in Greenwich SE10 — your questions.
How much does hoarder clearance cost in Greenwich SE10?
Single room clearance starts at £240 in Greenwich on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with Greenwich parking rules in play, 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 this side of Greenwich, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory — and 73% of homes here being flats, and biohazard material adds its own handling cost regardless of the room count.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Greenwich SE10?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 40% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenwich most weeks across SE10, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Greenwich?
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 Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Greenwich doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Greenwich bookings. With 73% of Greenwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Greenwich rounds — and 73% of homes here being flats, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books hoarder clearance in Greenwich SE10 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 31% of Greenwich privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SE10 jobs — and 40% owner-occupation locally, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
How quickly can you reach Greenwich from your Greenwich round?
The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is the marker we route to on the Greenwich rounds — and this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR), with 40% owner-occupation locally, and cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SE10 jobs, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
Is same-day or evening hoarder clearance available in Greenwich?
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 the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark — and The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, with 32% one-person households here. Greenwich sits close to Cutty Sark (DLR), with 17,397 households on this patch, so we can usually add a SE10 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice for Greenwich (SE10) addresses.
