Kensington and Chelsea · SW10 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking hoarder clearance near Chelsea Harbour and Brompton Cemetery? Harbour estate access control, tower blocks with booked lifts and permit-only side streets, 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 West Brompton, hoarder clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £240. With 90% of West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour's 6,731 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW10 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
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. Harbour estate access control, tower blocks with booked lifts and permit-only side streets.
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. West Brompton (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a SW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW10, 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, as the West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered 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. |

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.

Working in West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour
In West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour (SW10) the split is 90% flats to 11% houses over 6,731 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The renter-heavy mix here (30% owned, 46% privately rented) means a SW10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Riverside marina and design centre beside Victorian terraces and the World's End estate. That character decides the practical detail of hoarder clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. West Brompton and Chelsea Harbour sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: harbour estate access control, tower blocks with booked lifts and permit-only side streets. West Brompton (District, 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.
