Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around South Croydon, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 47% of South Croydon's 3,637 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR2 shape the slot length we hold.
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. South Croydon (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 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, and with 32% one-person households in South Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in CR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in CR2, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 47% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering South Croydon actually produces.
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. Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out.
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 →

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 South Croydon
In South Croydon (CR2) the split is 47% flats to 53% houses over 3,637 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (60% owned, 30% privately rented) means a CR2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
South Croydon substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 32% one-person households in South Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in CR2, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 47% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering South Croydon actually produces is the mistake that costs a CR2 customer twice.
South Croydon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond — which is why a CR2 quote is not a Croydon average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out. South Croydon (Southern) 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.
