Overview
This page prices hoarder clearance for Tooting SW17 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 40% privately rented and 22,241 households in total. Work starts at £240, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Wandsworth 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. Tooting Broadway (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW17 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, where 43% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW17, 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, a median age of 32 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. Broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced 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 Tooting
In Tooting (SW17) the split is 60% flats to 40% houses over 22,241 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 40% of Tooting is privately rented and 16% socially rented, a lot of SW17 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Tooting substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, where 43% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SW17 customer twice.
Tooting 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 — two covered markets, St George's Hospital and one of London's best food streets — which is why a SW17 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced streets. Nearest station is Tooting Broadway (Northern), 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 Tooting, with 60% of homes here being flats, 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 in this 60% flats neighbourhood — and 60% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from Tooting Broadway (Northern), 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 the streets near Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido, with Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Tooting most weeks for Tooting (SW17) addresses, with 40% of Tooting homes being houses.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Tooting Broadway (Northern), with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SW17 jobs. With 60% of Tooting homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Wandsworth, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Structural repairs, pest control or damp treatment, which are specialist trades we can recommend; Valuation of items found — we set valuables aside for the family or executor to assess; Ongoing support or counselling in this 60% flats neighbourhood, with 40% of SW17 homes being privately rented — and this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, which sits with the social worker or health professional on the case; Forced entry or work without either the occupant's or a legally authorised person's consent. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Tooting SW17 price you agree is the price you pay around Tooting Broadway (Northern), with this being a short walk from Tooting Broadway (Northern).
All three. With 40% of Tooting privately rented and 43% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW17 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Tooting (SW17) addresses — and this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, with Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido a few streets away.
Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido is the marker we route to on SW17 jobs, with 60% of homes here being flats, and broadway red route, market loading windows and permit-only terraced streets. A SW17 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Tooting Market and Tooting Bec Lido, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
