Overview
House and flat clearance in Romford RM1 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Havering, most of them mainly Victorian. 18,759 households sit inside this RM1 patch, 32% of them flats, so we quote on access near Romford Market 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. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, the reality on the streets around Romford Market in RM1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Romford gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 23% 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. Ring-road one-way system, market-day closures and booked lifts in the new blocks.
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 Romford
Romford RM1 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 32% of homes here are flats and 68% are houses, across 18,759 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 23% private renting against 66% owner-occupied, most RM1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, the reality on the streets around Romford Market behind the plaster in RM1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Romford gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 23% 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.
Romford 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 — market town turned regional centre — the market, the Brewery and a growing skyline — which is why a RM1 quote is not a Havering average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: ring-road one-way system, market-day closures and booked lifts in the new blocks. Romford (Elizabeth line) 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.
