Harrow · HA3 · Loft and attic clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kenton fitters · Fixed written pricesKenton HA3 is a regular stop on our Harrow round. Uniform interwar semis between Harrow and Wembley, quiet and residential, so loft and attic clearance here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £110, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Kenton, loft and attic clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 16% of Kenton's 6,923 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in HA3 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
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — and with 16% one-person households in Kenton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in HA3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in HA3, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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.
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. Easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street.
Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a HA3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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.
