Overview
Hoarder clearance in Colliers Wood SW19, explained
This page prices hoarder clearance for Colliers Wood SW19 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 44% privately rented and 4,286 households in total. Work starts at £240, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Merton permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How hoarder clearance works in Colliers Wood
Five steps, the same on every SW19 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Colliers Wood stock goes, the reality on the streets around Merton Abbey Mills is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Confidential conversation first
We talk through the situation with whoever is coordinating — family member, social worker or the individual themselves — before any visit is booked.
Step 2
Access and pace agreed
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
Room-by-room sort
Every room is worked through by hand, with valuables, documents and anything flagged by the family set aside before waste is loaded.
Step 4
Biohazard streams separated
Any contaminated or soiled material is bagged separately under PPE and moved on its own licensed disposal route.
Step 5
Deep clean and handover
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
Why Colliers Wood customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW19 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
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. Colliers Wood (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Colliers Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Hoarder clearance prices in Colliers Wood
Fixed prices for SW19 and the rest of Merton. Volume and severity, not floor area. A single room stacked to the ceiling can take longer than an ordinary two-bed flat, and biohazard material adds its own handling cost regardless of the room count.
| 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
What's included in Colliers Wood
The same scope across SW19, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW19 jobs: sorting by hand, room by room, for valuables, documents and anything the family has asked us to keep aside, agreed on the doorstep in Colliers Wood before anything is unpacked
- In Colliers Wood: pPE and a separate waste stream for biohazard, soiled material or sharps found during the sort, timed against the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern)
- Working at the pace agreed with the household, family or the professional managing the case, noted on the Colliers Wood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Merton bookings: liaison with a social worker, housing officer or family member as the single point of contact, allowing for the 44% of SW19 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW19 jobs: unmarked vehicles and plain clothing on request, with no branding on the day, local hoarder clearance included
- In Colliers Wood: deep clean handover once the contents have been removed, so the property is left liveable, sized for the high street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts
Not included
- Structural repairs, pest control or damp treatment, which are specialist trades we can recommend, handled by London Borough of Merton or a specialist contractor instead
- Valuation of items found — we set valuables aside for the family or executor to assess, and we will say so before the SW19 visit rather than on the day
- Ongoing support or counselling, which sits with the social worker or health professional on the case, outside the fixed price on Colliers Wood bookings
- Forced entry or work without either the occupant's or a legally authorised person's consent, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW19

Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SW19. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
