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 renter-heavy households around Clapham Junction, loft and attic clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £110. With 74% of Clapham Junction's 4,196 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW11 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. Very tight CPZ, narrow streets with parked cars both sides and no rear access.
Two to three days as standard, next day for a straightforward boarded loft with easy hatch access. Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW11 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 — where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW11, 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 34% one-person households in Clapham Junction, 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.

Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SW11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — and with 34% one-person households in Clapham Junction, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Clapham Junction knows the pattern near Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road: britain's busiest interchange, St John's Hill and the streets between the commons. We plan the SW11 visit around it. Clapham Junction is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, very tight CPZ, narrow streets with parked cars both sides and no rear access — one reason 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 Clapham Junction on this side of Wandsworth, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, 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 across SW11. A small hatch or bare joists can double the carry time of an otherwise light clearance on Wandsworth bookings, with 4,196 households on this patch.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across SW11, with 74% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Clapham Junction most weeks on this side of Wandsworth, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Clapham Junction (SW11) addresses, with 4,196 households on this patch.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 74% flats neighbourhood. With 74% of Clapham Junction homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western) — and 42% of SW11 homes being privately rented, with this being a short walk from Clapham Junction (Overground, Southern, South Western), 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 Wandsworth bookings, with 4,196 households on this patch. Suspected asbestos is never disturbed — it is referred to a licensed testing specialist on the streets near Clapham Junction station and Northcote Road. That paperwork is what most Wandsworth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on SW11 jobs, with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
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 on this side of Wandsworth, with 18% social-rented stock nearby — and this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, which is a carpentry job priced separately. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Clapham Junction SW11 price you agree is the price you pay in this 74% flats neighbourhood, with 26% of Clapham Junction homes being houses.
All three. With 42% of Clapham Junction privately rented and 39% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Wandsworth, with 39% owner-occupation locally — and 4,196 households on this patch.
