Overview
Loft and attic clearance in Wallington SM6 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Sutton, most of them mainly Edwardian. 7,054 households sit inside this SM6 patch, 43% of them flats, so we quote on access near Beddington Park and Carew Manor rather than a London average.
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 cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — measured on the walk in from Wallington (Southern) rather than assumed from a map in SM6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SM6, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 28% one-person households in Wallington, 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.
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. Wide avenues with driveways; the high street has timed loading bays.
Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. Wallington (Southern) is the nearest station, so a SM6 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
