Overview
This page prices hoarder clearance for Mitcham CR4 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 28% privately rented and 10,087 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
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. Mitcham (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Mitcham, with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in CR4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green.
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. Tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most 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
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 →

Working in Mitcham
10,087 households sit inside the CR4 neighbourhood covering Mitcham. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 46% of those homes are flats.
With 28% private renting against 47% owner-occupied, most CR4 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Mitcham, with solid brick on the party and external walls, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Mitcham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the reality on the streets around Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green.
Mitcham 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 — one of the largest commons in London, a cricket green and Wandle-valley industry — which is why a CR4 quote is not a Merton average.
Tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. Nearest station is Mitcham (Tramlink), and two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request.

Single room clearance starts at £240 in Mitcham on the Mitcham rounds, with 25% one-person households here, 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 around Mitcham (Tramlink) — and 47% owner-occupation locally, with 46% of homes here being flats, 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 this side of Merton, with 25% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Mitcham most weeks across CR4, with 47% owner-occupation locally.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green, with Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Merton bookings. With 46% of Mitcham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green, with this being London Borough of Merton territory — and Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green is the marker we route to on CR4 jobs, with 54% of Mitcham homes being houses, and tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. A CR4 slot added to an existing Merton round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green, with Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green a few streets away.
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 on CR4 jobs — and this being London Borough of Merton territory, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood. Mitcham sits close to Mitcham (Tramlink), with this being London Borough of Merton territory, so we can usually add a CR4 job to an existing Merton round at short notice on this side of Merton.
Tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets on this side of Merton. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Merton it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on CR4 jobs — and Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green a few streets away, with 10,087 households on this patch.
