Kensington and Chelsea · W10 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local North Kensington fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide hoarder clearance in North Kensington W10 for houses and flats around The Westway Sports Centre. From £240, quoted in writing before the visit, with two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Hoarder clearance in North Kensington W10 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,820 households sit inside this W10 patch, 81% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Westway Sports Centre rather than a London average.
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. Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks.
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. Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W10, 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 North Kensington stock goes, which is what a 81% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering North Kensington actually produces.
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 North Kensington
3,820 households sit inside the W10 neighbourhood covering North Kensington. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 81% of those homes are flats.
Because 23% of North Kensington is privately rented and 46% socially rented, a lot of W10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in North Kensington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the North Kensington stock goes, which is what a 81% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering North Kensington actually produces.
Dense residential streets between the Westway and Wormwood Scrubs. That character decides the practical detail of hoarder clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. North Kensington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks — 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 Latimer Road (Circle, Hammersmith & City).

Single room clearance starts at £240 in North Kensington, with 3,820 households on this patch, 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 in this 81% flats neighbourhood — and 46% social-rented stock nearby, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, 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 Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 3,820 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in North Kensington most weeks in this 81% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for North Kensington (W10) addresses, with 81% of homes here being flats.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in North Kensington. With 81% of North Kensington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 23% of W10 homes being privately rented — and 31% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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; Ongoing support or counselling on the North Kensington rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory — and 3,820 households on this patch, which sits with the social worker or health professional on the case; Forced entry or work without either the occupant's or a legally authorised person's consent. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the North Kensington W10 price you agree is the price you pay on W10 jobs, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 23% of North Kensington privately rented and 31% owner-occupied, roughly half the W10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 81% flats neighbourhood, with 31% owner-occupation locally — and 39% one-person households here.
The Westway Sports Centre is the marker we route to on the North Kensington rounds, with The Westway Sports Centre a few streets away, and westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks. A W10 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next on W10 jobs, with 23% of W10 homes being privately rented.
