Overview
This page prices loft and attic clearance for Teddington TW11 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 25% privately rented and 10,821 households in total. Work starts at £110, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 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. Narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways.
Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. Teddington (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 46% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Teddington actually produces in TW11, 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 — measured on the walk in from Teddington (South Western) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Teddington
Census 2021 puts Teddington at 10,821 households with a median age of 42.3. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 54% houses and 46% flats need different handling in TW11.
25% of households rent privately and 65% own, which is why loft and attic clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Teddington substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 46% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Teddington actually produces. 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 — measured on the walk in from Teddington (South Western) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a TW11 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Teddington knows the pattern near Teddington Lock and Bushy Park: the lock, a village high street and Bushy Park on the doorstep. We plan the TW11 visit around it. Teddington is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow high street with timed loading; residential roads mostly have driveways. Nearest station is Teddington (South Western), 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.

Hatch size and joist boarding more than the volume of what is stored on TW11 jobs. A small hatch or bare joists can double the carry time of an otherwise light clearance on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Teddington, with 11% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Teddington most weeks on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 54% of Teddington homes being houses.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 54% of Teddington homes being houses.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Teddington. With 46% of Teddington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Richmond upon Thames — and this being a short walk from Teddington (South Western), with 10,821 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Registered waste carrier. Loose-fill insulation and any tank contents are bagged and disposed of separately from general household waste on TW11 jobs, with 54% of Teddington homes being houses.

That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across TW11, with 25% of TW11 homes being privately rented.
Testing or removal of suspected asbestos-containing material, referred to a licensed specialist; Loft boarding, insulation top-up or any building works following the clearance; Pest control treatment where an active infestation is found, referred to a specialist rather than disturbed; Structural work to widen a hatch or fit a loft ladder across TW11, with Teddington Lock and Bushy Park a few streets away, which is a carpentry job priced separately. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Teddington TW11 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 25% of TW11 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 25% of Teddington privately rented and 65% owner-occupied, roughly half the TW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Teddington (South Western) — and Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
