Greenwich · SE2 · House and flat clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Abbey Wood fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking house and flat clearance near Lesnes Abbey Woods? Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts, 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
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Abbey Wood, house and flat clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £280. With 38% of Abbey Wood's 6,046 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE2 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. Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE2, 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 Abbey Wood stock goes, which is what a 38% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Abbey Wood 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 streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
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 Abbey Wood
6,046 households sit inside the SE2 neighbourhood covering Abbey Wood. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 38% of those homes are flats.
Because 24% of Abbey Wood is privately rented and 36% socially rented, a lot of SE2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Abbey Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Abbey Wood stock goes, which is what a 38% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Abbey Wood actually produces.
Abbey Wood 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 — lesnes Abbey ruins, the woods and streets transformed by the Elizabeth line — which is why a SE2 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
