Camden · NW5 · House and flat clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kentish Town fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking house and flat clearance near The O2 Forum Kentish Town? Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £280 and are fixed before we travel. Doorframes and stair nosings are protected before wardrobes come out.
Overview
House and flat clearance in Kentish Town NW5 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 7,587 households sit inside this NW5 patch, 86% of them flats, so we quote on access near The O2 Forum Kentish Town rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
Video walk-through or a visit; we count rooms, lofts and outbuildings so the volume figure is real.
Step 2
You tell us what must be kept — paperwork, jewellery, photographs — and it is bagged separately and handed over.
Step 3
Furniture in good order goes to reuse partners; textiles, metal, WEEE and wood are split on the van.
Step 4
Everything is carried out, with flat-pack units broken down where a lift or stairwell will not take them whole.
Step 5
Broom-clean rooms, photos of the finished property and the waste transfer note by email.
Why choose us
Executors and landlords usually book three to five days ahead; we hold same-week slots for tenancy deadlines and completion dates. Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kentish Town stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Every house clearance is carried out under our upper-tier waste carrier registration, with a waste transfer note naming the transfer station, the weight and the date.
A two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed flat | £280 | 2–3 hrs | Usually a half to three-quarter Luton load once wardrobes and a bed base are broken down. |
| Two-bed flat or maisonette | £450 | 3–5 hrs | Two bedrooms of furniture plus a kitchen strip typically fills one van and part of a second. |
| Three-bed house | £650 | 5–7 hrs | Loft, shed and garage contents are what push a three-bed past a single load. |
| Four-bed house or larger | £950 | 1 day | Two vans and three or four crew, with multiple transfer-station runs across the day. |
| Probate clearance with valuation set-aside | £420 | By survey | Paperwork, photographs and items set aside for the executor take time a straight clear does not. |
| Single room or garage clear | £160 | 1–2 hrs | Priced on the volume that leaves the property, so a packed garage costs more than an empty spare room. |

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. They did an excellent job yet again… Read in full →
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →

Working in Kentish Town
Kentish Town NW5 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 86% of homes here are flats and 14% are houses, across 7,587 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (26% owned, 24% privately rented) means a NW5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in NW5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kentish Town stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Kentish Town sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — working high street, Victorian terraces and the Forum's gig traffic — which is why a NW5 quote is not a Camden average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) is the nearest station, and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.

Yes. 14% of homes here are houses, with The O2 Forum Kentish Town a few streets away — and 7,587 households on this patch, and lofts, sheds and garages are the contents that push a three-bed past a single Luton — we survey them up front so the price does not move on the day on NW5 jobs.

Carpet lifting and skirting removal unless it is quoted as a strip-out; Asbestos, chemicals, paint and gas bottles — these need a licensed hazardous carrier; Deep cleaning after the clear on this side of Camden, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood — and 14% of Kentish Town homes being houses, which we quote separately as an end-of-tenancy clean. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Kentish Town NW5 price you agree is the price you pay on NW5 jobs, with 7,587 households on this patch.
