Overview
Probate and bereavement clearance in Putney SW15 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Wandsworth, most of them mainly Victorian. 20,613 households sit inside this SW15 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start 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. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW15, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Putney (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 34 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. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
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 Putney
Putney SW15 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 72% of homes here are flats and 28% are houses, across 20,613 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 38% of Putney is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of SW15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW15, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Putney (South Western) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Putney is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Putney 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 Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — which is why a SW15 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. Nearest station is Putney (South Western), 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.
