How it works
How loft and attic clearance works in West Kensington and Olympia
Five steps, the same on every W14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — and with 41% one-person households in West Kensington and Olympia, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Hatch and access checked
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
Crawl boards laid
Where joists are unboarded, boards go down first so nobody puts a foot through a bedroom ceiling reaching for the last box.
Step 3
Contents brought down and sorted
Passed hand to hand through the hatch and sorted at ground level into keep, donate, recycle and dispose.
Step 4
Tanks, insulation and hazards handled
Cold water tanks disconnected and lowered in sections; disturbed insulation bagged; any suspected asbestos left untouched and referred for testing.
Step 5
Final check and photographs
A visual check for vermin or water damage before the hatch is closed, with photographs sent the same day.
Why choose us
Why West Kensington and Olympia customers book us
What follows is specific to West Kensington and Olympia: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hammersmith and Fulham agents ask for.
Crew sized to the job
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. Event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts.
Booked around your day
Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
West Kensington and Olympia walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W14, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in W14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is West Kensington and Olympia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Loft and attic clearance prices in West Kensington and Olympia
Fixed prices for W14 and the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham. Hatch size and joist boarding more than the volume of what is stored. A small hatch or bare joists can double the carry time of an otherwise light clearance.
| 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
What's included in West Kensington and Olympia
The same scope across W14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings: a second operative on the ground floor for every job, so nothing is carried down a ladder alone, arranged with London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham where the kerb needs it
- Crawl boards laid over unboarded joists before anyone moves between the trusses — including loft and attic clearance prices
- In West Kensington and Olympia: sorting of loft contents into keep, donate, recycle and dispose as items come down through the hatch, the way it is done on West Kensington and Olympia jobs
- On W14 jobs: safe bagging and removal of loose-fill insulation disturbed during the clear, with 95% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings: a visual check for signs of vermin activity or water damage, reported before the loft is closed up, allowing for the 47% of W14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Photographic record of the cleared loft space, useful for a loft conversion survey or a house sale, noted on the West Kensington and Olympia job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Testing or removal of suspected asbestos-containing material, referred to a licensed specialist, and we will say so before the W14 visit rather than on the day
- Loft boarding, insulation top-up or any building works following the clearance, handled by London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham or a specialist contractor instead
- Pest control treatment where an active infestation is found, referred to a specialist rather than disturbed, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W14
- Structural work to widen a hatch or fit a loft ladder, which is a carpentry job priced separately, outside the fixed price on West Kensington and Olympia bookings

Getting to the door matters as much as the job: event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts.

Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in West Kensington and Olympia W14?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on W14 jobs, with this being London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham territory.

How long does flat-pack assembly take in West Kensington and Olympia?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for West Kensington and Olympia (W14) addresses, with Hammersmith and Fulham parking rules in play.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a West Kensington and Olympia doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on W14 jobs. With 95% of West Kensington and Olympia homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the West Kensington and Olympia rounds — and this being a short walk from Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground), with 47% of W14 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in loft and attic clearance in West Kensington and Olympia?

How quickly can you reach West Kensington and Olympia from your Hammersmith and Fulham round?
