Overview
House and flat clearance in St John's Wood NW8 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Westminster, most of them inter-war. 6,641 households sit inside this NW8 patch, 90% of them flats, so we quote on access near Lord's Cricket Ground and Abbey Road studios 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. St John's Wood (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a NW8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in NW8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is St John's Wood gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 90% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering St John's 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. Driveways in the villa streets; gated developments need advance access codes and lift booking.
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 St John's Wood
In St John's Wood (NW8) the split is 90% flats to 10% houses over 6,641 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The renter-heavy mix here (33% owned, 49% privately rented) means a NW8 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why Westminster City Council kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in NW8. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why St John's Wood gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 90% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering St John's Wood actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
St John's Wood 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 — detached villas, embassies and cricket — the quietest of the central postcodes — which is why a NW8 quote is not a Westminster average.
Driveways in the villa streets; gated developments need advance access codes and lift booking. Nearest station is St John's Wood (Jubilee), and a two-person crew and a Luton for flats; three or four crew and two vans for houses with lofts, cellars or garages.
