Lewisham · SE13 · Hoarder clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Hither Green fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for hoarder clearance in Hither Green SE13? We work in Hither Green most weeks — quiet Edwardian streets around Staplehurst Road's small parade — 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 mixed-tenure households around Hither Green, hoarder clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £240. With 64% of Hither Green's 3,309 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE13 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. Hither Green (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 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, the pattern behind 3,309 households inside the SE13 neighbourhood in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Hither Green gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 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. Narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station.
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.

With 34% private renting against 46% owner-occupied, most SE13 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, the pattern behind 3,309 households inside the SE13 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Hither Green is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Hither Green gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Hither Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — quiet Edwardian streets around Staplehurst Road's small parade — which is why a SE13 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station. Hither Green (Southeastern) 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.
