From £110 fixed, 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 Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around White City, loft and attic clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 86% of White City's 2,536 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W12 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. Estate loading docks with booked slots, campus access control and A40 red routes.
Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. White City (Central) is the nearest station, so a W12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in W12, 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 26% one-person households in White City, 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
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.

Working in White City
The W12 stock around Television Centre is post-war. ONS records 86% flats, 14% houses and 2,536 households in White City.
Private renting sits at 17% and owner-occupation at 20%; the first group books loft and attic clearance at short notice, the second plans it.
White City substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — where 20% 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 drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 26% one-person households in White City, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a W12 customer twice.
Anyone who knows White City knows the pattern near Television Centre: the old BBC campus, Imperial's new science quarter and towers of new flats. We plan the W12 visit around it. White City is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: estate loading docks with booked slots, campus access control and A40 red routes. White City (Central) is the nearest station, and 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.

Partial loft clear, boxes and light storage starts at £110 in White City on W12 jobs — and 2,536 households on this patch, with 14% of White City homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Hatch size and joist boarding more than the volume of what is stored on the White City rounds. A small hatch or bare joists can double the carry time of an otherwise light clearance across W12, with 86% of homes here being flats.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around White City (Central), with Television Centre a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in White City most weeks, with 17% of W12 homes being privately rented.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings, with 17% of W12 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across W12. With 86% of White City homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Hammersmith and Fulham, with 20% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 17% of White City privately rented and 20% owner-occupied, roughly half the W12 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the White City rounds — and Hammersmith and Fulham parking rules in play, with 26% one-person households here.
