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 — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 43% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts.
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. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E1 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.

Shoreditch substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E1, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 43% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a E1 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Shoreditch: warehouse offices, rooftop bars and Boxpark on the City fringe. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Shoreditch is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) is the nearest station, 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 Shoreditch on E1 jobs, with 20% owner-occupation locally, 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 Hackney bookings, with 37% of E1 homes being privately rented — and Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street 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 Shoreditch rounds, with 2% of Shoreditch homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Shoreditch most weeks on E1 jobs, with Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street a few streets away.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across E1, with 37% of E1 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Hackney. With 98% of Shoreditch homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and 37% of E1 homes being privately rented, with Hackney parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 37% of Shoreditch privately rented and 20% owner-occupied, roughly half the E1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Shoreditch rounds — and 43% social-rented stock nearby, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory.
Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street is the marker we route to on the streets near Boxpark Shoreditch and Redchurch Street, with 3,361 households on this patch, and night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. A E1 slot added to an existing Hackney round usually lands the same week rather than the next across E1, with 41% one-person households here.
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 Shoreditch rounds — and 2% of Shoreditch homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Hackney territory. Shoreditch sits close to Shoreditch High Street (Overground) across E1, with 98% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a E1 job to an existing Hackney round at short notice.
