Overview
This page prices probate and bereavement clearance for Shepherd's Bush W12 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 40% privately rented and 9,929 households in total. Work starts at £520, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Probate, grant of letters of administration or written next of kin authority is checked before a date is booked, so there is never a dispute about who instructed the clearance.
Step 2
Drawers, files, pockets and furniture are checked for wills, deeds and paperwork before anything is loaded, and everything found is returned to the executor unopened.
Step 3
The executor confirms in writing what is being kept, sold, donated or disposed of, so the clearance itself has no ambiguity on the day.
Step 4
The property is cleared respectfully, with retained items boxed separately and items of possible value held aside for valuation.
Step 5
A deep clean, dated photographs and the keys returned, with the handover pack ready for the estate agent or solicitor's file.
Why choose us
Three to five working days for a full property once authority and the retention list are confirmed, faster where the family has already sorted personal items. Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Shepherd's Bush, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground) rather than assumed from a map in W12, 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 Shepherd's Bush stock goes, the reality on the streets around Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market.
We act only on confirmed executor, administrator or next of kin instruction, verified in writing before the first visit. Registered waste carrier with a transfer note per load, and secure, documented return of any paperwork or valuables found.
Two to three operatives as standard, scaling up for a full house with a tight sale deadline. A single point of contact is assigned for the duration of the instruction. Mall service yards, Uxbridge Road bus lanes and permit-only side streets.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-bed flat, full contents | £520 | 1 day | A complete clear with an itemised retention list, priced by volume once the executor has confirmed what is being kept, sold or donated. |
| Two/three-bed house, full contents | £980 | 1–2 days | A larger property holds a lifetime of possessions, and sorting for the family before loading takes longer than an equivalent house clearance for a move. |
| Retained items packed and stored, per box | £12 | included | Items the family wants to keep are boxed and labelled separately rather than mixed into the same load as items for disposal. |
| Document and paperwork search, per visit | £150 | 2–3 hrs | A dedicated pass through drawers, files and furniture for wills, deeds, bank correspondence and photographs before general clearance begins. |
| Donation and valuation liaison, per item | £40 | by arrangement | Furniture or items of possible value are held aside and referred to a valuer or charity the family nominates, rather than cleared with everything else. |
| Sale-ready clean and photograph handover | £320 | 4–6 hrs | A deep clean and dated photographs once the property is empty, which most estate agents ask for before marketing a probate sale. |

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 →

Working in Shepherd's Bush
Shepherd's Bush W12 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 87% of homes here are flats and 13% are houses, across 9,929 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 40% of Shepherd's Bush is privately rented and 34% socially rented, a lot of W12 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Shepherd's Bush, often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in W12. 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 Shepherd's Bush stock goes, the reality on the streets around Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market is the fault we are called back to undo.
Shepherd's Bush 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 — the green, the market and Westfield's mall on the old exhibition grounds — which is why a W12 quote is not a Hammersmith and Fulham average.
Mall service yards, Uxbridge Road bus lanes and permit-only side streets. Nearest station is Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground), and two to three operatives as standard, scaling up for a full house with a tight sale deadline. A single point of contact is assigned for the duration of the instruction.

Volume of contents and how much sorting is needed before disposal around Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground).

Probate application, valuation for estate purposes or legal advice, which sits with the solicitor or a professional valuer; House sale conveyancing, EPC certificates or estate agency instruction in this 87% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with 34% social-rented stock nearby, which we can recommend but do not provide; Structural repairs or damp and pest treatment ahead of a sale, arranged separately with specialist trades; Clearance carried out without confirmed executor, administrator or next of kin authority. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Shepherd's Bush W12 price you agree is the price you pay on Hammersmith and Fulham bookings, with 13% of Shepherd's Bush homes being houses.
