Overview
Probate and bereavement clearance in West Drayton and Yiewsley UB7 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Hillingdon, most of them mainly Victorian. 7,842 households sit inside this UB7 patch, 36% of them flats, so we quote on access near West Drayton Green and the Grand Union Canal 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. West Drayton (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a UB7 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 pattern behind 7,842 households inside the UB7 neighbourhood in UB7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the West Drayton and Yiewsley stock goes, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Canal bridges limit access; new estates have wide roads and allocated parking.
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.

Working in West Drayton and Yiewsley
7,842 households sit inside the UB7 neighbourhood covering West Drayton and Yiewsley. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 36% of those homes are flats.
The mixed-tenure mix here (48% owned, 27% privately rented) means a UB7 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, the pattern behind 7,842 households inside the UB7 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in West Drayton and Yiewsley is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the West Drayton and Yiewsley stock goes, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
West Drayton and Yiewsley 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 — canal-side town on the Colne, with the green, the station and new housing — which is why a UB7 quote is not a Hillingdon average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: canal bridges limit access; new estates have wide roads and allocated parking. West Drayton (Elizabeth line) 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.
