Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Sands End fitters · Fixed written pricesLoft and attic clearance in Sands End SW6, Hammersmith and Fulham, from £110.

You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Imperial Wharf, loft and attic clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 89% of Sands End's 4,346 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW6 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Hatch size, ladder access and joist boarding assessed from photos or a quick visit, since these decide the crew size and time far more than the loft's floor area.
Step 2
Where joists are unboarded, boards go down first so nobody puts a foot through a bedroom ceiling reaching for the last box.
Step 3
Passed hand to hand through the hatch and sorted at ground level into keep, donate, recycle and dispose.
Step 4
Cold water tanks disconnected and lowered in sections; disturbed insulation bagged; any suspected asbestos left untouched and referred for testing.
Step 5
A visual check for vermin or water damage before the hatch is closed, with photographs sent the same day.
Why choose us
Two operatives as standard, one in the loft and one on the ladder and ground floor, which is how a loft clear stays safe rather than a one-person job with a rope and a prayer. Concierge sign-in, booked goods lifts and estate loading bays on the riverside blocks.
Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. Imperial Wharf (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SW6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Sands End, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 36% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SW6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 38% one-person households in Sands End, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Registered waste carrier. Loose-fill insulation and any tank contents are bagged and disposed of separately from general household waste. Suspected asbestos is never disturbed — it is referred to a licensed testing specialist.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partial loft clear, boxes and light storage | £110 | 1–1.5 hrs | Items passed down through the hatch by hand, which is why loft work is priced by carry time rather than by volume alone. |
| Full loft clearance, standard hatch | £190 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | A full clear of a standard loft, including anything wedged between joists or pushed to the eaves where crawling is needed. |
| Restricted hatch or no boarding, full clear | £240 | 2–3 hrs | A small hatch or unboarded joists slows the carry considerably and needs crawl boards laid before anyone can move safely between the trusses. |
| Cold water tank removal | £85 | 45–60 min | Tanks are drained, disconnected and lowered in sections through the hatch, which is plumbing-adjacent work rather than a straightforward carry. |
| Disturbed loose-fill insulation, bagged and removed | £120 | 1–1.5 hrs | Loose-fill insulation has to be bagged as it is disturbed to stop it drifting through the house, and disposed of separately from general waste. |
| Suspected asbestos material, survey and quote only | On inspection | By arrangement | Any suspected asbestos board, lagging or Artex is left untouched and referred to a licensed specialist for testing before a price can be given. |

Scope
