Overview
This page prices loft and attic clearance for Wimbledon SW19 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 34% privately rented and 23,023 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Merton permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits.
Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around The All England Lawn Tennis Club in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 27% one-person households in Wimbledon, 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.

Wimbledon substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around The All England Lawn Tennis Club. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 27% one-person households in Wimbledon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a SW19 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Wimbledon knows the pattern near The All England Lawn Tennis Club: the town centre and theatre below, the Village and common above. We plan the SW19 visit around it. Wimbledon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits.
