From £520, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Romford, probate and bereavement clearance here covers supply-free fitting from £520. With 12% of Collier Row's 3,167 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM5 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Romford (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map in RM5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Collier Row Lane parade.
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. Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading.
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 Collier Row
In Collier Row (RM5) the split is 12% flats to 88% houses over 3,167 households, and the stock is post-war.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (74% owned, 14% privately rented) means a RM5 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Romford (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Collier Row is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, the reality on the streets around Collier Row Lane parade.
Collier Row 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 — a large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade — which is why a RM5 quote is not a Havering average.
Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading. Nearest station is Romford (Elizabeth line), 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.
