Kensington and Chelsea · W11 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Holland Park fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking hoarder clearance near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden? Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £240 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Holland Park, hoarder clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £240. With 80% of Holland Park's 3,387 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W11 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
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. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Holland Park (Central) rather than assumed from a map in W11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors.
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 →

Working in Holland Park
Holland Park W11 is period conversion and renter-heavy: 80% of homes here are flats and 20% are houses, across 3,387 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 43% private renting against 40% owner-occupied, most W11 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Holland Park (Central) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in W11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Holland Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum — which is why a W11 quote is not a Kensington and Chelsea average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. Holland Park (Central) 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.

Volume and severity, not floor area.
