London hoarder clearance · East London
Hoarder clearance across Havering, from RM1, RM11 and RM12 outwards. London's most suburban edge — Romford's market and nightlife, Hornchurch's semis and green belt beyond Upminster, and that is what shapes every quote we write 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. |
Prices include VAT. We work at the pace the household or family can manage rather than against a fixed daily rate, and we agree the schedule before the first visit rather than pushing for one long day. No photographs of the property are shared without written permission.
Working in Havering
What our crews walk into in Havering is interwar and post-war semis, bungalows in upminster and new flats around romford station, and the mix changes street by street — Collier Row (RM5), Cranham (RM14) and Elm Park (RM12) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Havering sets the constraint: driveways and wide roads throughout; only romford town centre needs bay suspensions. Locally that means wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading and the easiest access in london — wide roads, drives and level thresholds. Havering sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Havering treats a severe hoarding case in Havering as a housing and safeguarding matter as much as a waste one, and where a social worker or environmental health officer is already involved we work to their access plan rather than turning up cold. Blocked fire exits, bathroom access and any statutory notice on the property are checked before a single bag is moved, and we report back to whoever holds the case rather than leaving the family to relay progress.
Why it looks like this: essex market towns and farmland that became commuter suburbia after the lms and district lines arrived.

Single room clearance starts at £240 in Havering, and the ladder runs up to £340 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: RM1, RM11, RM12, RM13, RM14, RM2, RM3, RM5 and RM7. On the ground that includes Collier Row, Cranham, Elm Park, Gidea Park, Harold Wood and Harold Hill and Hornchurch.
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. East London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Driveways and wide roads throughout; only Romford town centre needs bay suspensions. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Havering and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Interwar and post-war semis, bungalows in Upminster and new flats around Romford station is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Havering tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
Two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Havering postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 and Ongoing support or counselling, which sits with the social worker or health professional on the case. If something on that list turns up in Havering, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
Amazing service. They dismantled and removed and old running machine for me. It was very heavy. They were very careful of my mosaic floors on the hall. Very easy to use. They were very responsive to book. Arrived promptly and were fast and efficient. I recommend them.
Work fast and neat, even with the huge load of rubbish that was in the house from the previous owners.
