Overview
Probate and bereavement clearance in Kenton HA3 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Harrow, most of them inter-war. 6,923 households sit inside this HA3 patch, 16% of them flats, so we quote on access near Kenton Recreation Ground rather than a London average.
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. Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a HA3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and with 16% one-person households in Kenton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in HA3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Kenton stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street.
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 →

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 Kenton
6,923 households sit inside the HA3 neighbourhood covering Kenton. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 16% of those homes are flats.
With 26% private renting against 66% owner-occupied, most HA3 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and with 16% one-person households in Kenton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in HA3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Kenton stock goes, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Kenton 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 — uniform interwar semis between Harrow and Wembley, quiet and residential — which is why a HA3 quote is not a Harrow average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street. Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, 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.
