Overview
This page prices probate and bereavement clearance for Whitton TW2 specifically: inter-war stock, 20% privately rented and 3,134 households in total. Work starts at £520, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 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
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. Driveways on nearly every street; only the high street needs timed loading.
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. Whitton (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in TW2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Whitton actually produces in TW2, 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 on these streets — and with 26% one-person households in Whitton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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.
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.
