Overview
Hoarder clearance in West Ham and Plaistow E13, explained
Hoarder clearance in West Ham and Plaistow E13 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Newham, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,460 households sit inside this E13 patch, 55% of them flats, so we quote on access near The former Boleyn Ground site rather than a London average.
How it works
How hoarder clearance works in West Ham and Plaistow
Five steps, the same on every E13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the West Ham and Plaistow stock goes, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground site 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 West Ham and Plaistow customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a West Ham and Plaistow wall.
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. West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c) is the nearest station, so a E13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
West Ham and Plaistow walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in E13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 25% one-person households in West Ham and Plaistow, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 West Ham and Plaistow
Fixed prices for E13 and the rest of Newham. 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. |

- Ongoing support or counselling, which sits with the social worker or health professional on the case, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E13

How long does flat-pack assembly take in West Ham and Plaistow?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 55% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c). Near The former Boleyn Ground site that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a West Ham and Plaistow doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Newham bookings. With 55% of West Ham and Plaistow homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the West Ham and Plaistow rounds, with 29% owner-occupation locally — and 25% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

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 Newham bookings — and 45% of West Ham and Plaistow homes being houses, with 40% social-rented stock nearby.
