House Clearance
House Clearance is a professional service for removing unwanted items, furniture, and waste from an entire property or specific rooms, handled safely and in line with UK regulations. Whether you are moving home, managing a property between tenancies, dealing with a bereavement, or preparing a house for sale or renovation, our service provides a reliable, respectful, and compliant solution.
Clearing a house can be physically demanding and emotionally challenging, particularly when time is limited or contents have built up over many years. Our experienced teams manage the process end to end, taking care of lifting, loading, transport, and lawful disposal, so the property is left clear, safe, and ready for its next use.
Who Our House Clearance Service Is For
Our house clearance service supports a wide range of customers with different needs and circumstances.
Homeowners use professional clearance when downsizing, moving, or decluttering before renovations. Families and executors rely on us for sensitive probate clearances, where care and discretion are essential.
Landlords and letting agents depend on fast, thorough house clearance between tenancies, particularly when properties are left with unwanted contents. Property managers and housing providers use our service to maintain standards across portfolios. We also work with builders who require houses cleared before refurbishment or structural work begins.
What Is Included in a House Clearance
We remove most non-hazardous waste and unwanted items found throughout residential properties.
Included Items
Typical items include furniture such as sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, and chairs, along with mattresses, carpets, appliances, white goods, clothing, general household waste, packaging, and personal belongings.
We clear kitchens, bedrooms, living areas, lofts, basements, garages, sheds, and gardens where access is provided.
Excluded or Restricted Items
Some materials require specialist handling and are excluded unless agreed in advance. These include asbestos, chemicals, oils, fuels, medical waste, explosives, and unidentified hazardous substances. If there is any uncertainty, we assess the situation and advise before booking to ensure safety and compliance.
How Our House Clearance Service Works
We follow a structured process designed to deliver efficient, respectful, and compliant clearances.
Step 1: Assessment and Quote
You provide details about the property size, contents, and access. Where helpful, photos can be used to improve accuracy. We then provide a clear, upfront quote.
Step 2: Booking and Scheduling
Once agreed, we schedule the clearance at a time that suits your deadlines. Same-day or next-day house clearance is available where capacity allows.
Step 3: Full Property Clearance
Our trained team arrives with appropriate equipment and PPE. Items are carefully removed room by room, with care taken to protect fixtures, flooring, and access routes.
Step 4: Compliant Disposal and Recycling
All waste is transported by a licensed carrier to authorised facilities. Recycling and reuse are prioritised to minimise landfill.
Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees
Our pricing for house clearance is transparent and straightforward. Costs are based on the volume of waste, type of items, number of rooms, and access conditions such as stairs or parking restrictions.
We commonly use load-based pricing, meaning you pay only for the space your waste occupies in the vehicle. Quotes include labour, transport, compliant disposal, and recycling. Once agreed, there are no hidden charges unless the scope of work changes.
Why Professional House Clearance Is Better Than DIY or Council Services
Clearing a house yourself can take days or weeks, involve heavy lifting, and carry risks of injury or property damage. Improper disposal can lead to fly-tipping offences, and council bulky waste services are often slow, limited, and require items to be left outside.
Our service removes everything in one coordinated visit, manages all lifting and transport, and ensures lawful disposal. This saves time, reduces stress, and ensures properties are cleared efficiently and responsibly.
UK Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
We operate fully in line with UK waste legislation. Our teams are licensed, insured, and compliant with all Duty of Care requirements.
This means waste is transferred only to authorised facilities, with appropriate documentation completed where required. Using unlicensed operators can leave property owners and managers legally responsible if waste is fly-tipped. Our compliant processes protect you from that risk.
Recycling-First Approach and Landfill Reduction
House clearances often involve mixed waste streams with significant recycling potential. We prioritise recycling and reuse wherever possible, separating materials such as wood, metal, cardboard, plastics, textiles, and electrical items.
By working with licensed transfer stations and recycling partners, we divert a high proportion of cleared materials away from landfill, supporting more sustainable waste management.
Experience, Training, and Professional Standards
Our teams have extensive experience clearing houses of all sizes, from small terraces to large detached properties. Staff are trained in manual handling, risk assessment, and respectful working practices, particularly in sensitive situations.
We carry full public liability insurance and maintain consistent professional standards on every job. This ensures safety, reliability, and peace of mind for our customers.
Real-World House Clearance Scenarios
A family may require a full house clearance following a bereavement, with belongings spread across multiple rooms and storage spaces. A landlord may need a rapid clearance after tenants leave furniture and waste behind, days before new occupants arrive.
Homeowners preparing a property for sale often need lofts, garages, and sheds cleared alongside internal rooms. In each case, our house clearance service provides a practical, lawful, and considerate solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house clearance cost?
Costs depend on the size of the property, volume of items, and access conditions. Pricing is transparent and usually based on load size or the number of rooms. Quotes include labour, transport, compliant disposal, and recycling, ensuring there are no hidden fees.
Can you provide same-day house clearance?
Yes, same-day house clearance is available where capacity allows. This is ideal for urgent move-outs, probate timelines, or property handovers. Availability depends on location and workload, but we prioritise time-sensitive requests whenever possible.
Is house clearance legally compliant?
Absolutely. We are licensed waste carriers and follow all Duty of Care obligations. Waste is taken only to authorised facilities, protecting customers from legal risk associated with improper disposal.
What happens to items after a house clearance?
Items are assessed for recycling or reuse wherever possible. Materials such as metal, wood, cardboard, textiles, and electrical items are recycled. Suitable furniture may be diverted from disposal. Only non-recoverable waste is sent to landfill.
How does this compare to skip hire or council collections?
Skip hire requires permits and manual loading, while council services are often slow and restrictive. Our service includes loading, flexible scheduling, and full compliance management, making it faster and more suitable for full property clearances.
