Lambeth · SE11 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Oval fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for hoarder clearance in Oval SE11? We work in Oval most weeks — the cricket ground, the gasholders and Georgian terraces running back towards Kennington Park — and price hoarder clearance against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £240, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Oval, hoarder clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £240. With 77% of Oval's 3,633 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE11 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. Oval (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SE11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,633 households inside the SE11 neighbourhood in SE11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Oval gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 33 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. Match-day road closures around the ground, red routes on Kennington Park Road and permit-only side streets.
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

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.

Oval substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,633 households inside the SE11 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Oval gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SE11 customer twice.
Oval 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 — the cricket ground, the gasholders and Georgian terraces running back towards Kennington Park — which is why a SE11 quote is not a Lambeth average.
Match-day road closures around the ground, red routes on Kennington Park Road and permit-only side streets. Nearest station is Oval (Northern), and two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request.
