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
Two to four operatives depending on severity, with PPE for biohazard handling and a plain, unmarked vehicle available on request. A12 severance, estate service roads with height barriers and lift-only access in most blocks.
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. Bromley-by-Bow (District, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a E3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Bromley-by-Bow (District, Hammersmith & City) rather than assumed from a map in E3, 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 — the reality on the streets around Three Mills Island on the River Lea.
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
| 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
