What's Included in Our House Clearance Service
Our service covers every stage of the clearance process — so you don't have to coordinate multiple providers or worry about what happens next. All clearances are carried out by insured operatives with public liability cover.
Full Property Assessment
We assess the property in detail to understand exactly what needs clearing, ensuring nothing is missed and the process runs efficiently.
Sorting & Categorisation
Everything is carefully sorted into categories: items to keep, donate, recycle, or dispose of — giving you full control and clarity.
Responsible Disposal
Reusable items are donated to a partner charity. Electronics are processed through certified WEEE centres, and hazardous materials are handled through approved channels.
Deep Cleaning (Optional)
We can leave the property fully cleaned and ready for sale, tenancy, or handover — saving you time and additional effort.
Documentation
We provide full documentation, including waste transfer notes and donation receipts — especially useful for probate or legal requirements.
Types of House Clearance We Handle
From bereavement and probate to tenant clearances and downsizing — we handle every type of house clearance with the care and discretion each situation deserves.
Bereavement & Probate Clearance
We handle these situations with the care and patience they deserve. You'll have time to set aside photographs, keepsakes, and personal belongings before the clearance begins — nothing is removed without your say.
Tenant Clearance
When tenants leave items behind, landlords need fast, professional results. We provide before-and-after documentation and ensure the property is ready for the next tenant.
Downsizing Clearance
Moving to a smaller home? We help you decide what to keep, donate, or remove — making the transition easier and less stressful.
Hoarding Clearance
Handled with sensitivity and discretion. We can spread the work across multiple visits, ensuring a manageable and respectful process. Our crews are trained to work through heavily accumulated properties without rushing or making the situation more stressful — and we can coordinate with support workers where involved.
Pre-Sale Clearance
Preparing a property for sale? We remove unwanted furniture and clutter to present clean, empty spaces that appeal to buyers.

House Clearance — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house clearance cost?
House clearance costs start from £199 for a single room. A typical 2-bed property costs between £400 and £700, while a full 3-bed house clearance ranges from £600 to £1,000. We provide a fixed quote before work begins — no hidden charges.
How long does a house clearance take?
A single room takes 1–2 hours. A full house typically takes a day, sometimes two for larger or heavily loaded properties. Hoarding clearances may need multiple visits across several days.
What items can you not remove during a house clearance?
We remove the vast majority of household items, including furniture, white goods, electronics, clothing, and general waste. Items we cannot take include asbestos, clinical waste, and certain hazardous chemicals.
What happens to the items you remove?
Reusable items in good condition are donated to our partner charity. Recyclable materials go to certified recycling centres. The remainder is disposed of through licensed facilities. We never fly-tip or use unlicensed sites.
Can I keep some items and have the rest cleared?
Yes. You can be present during the clearance to identify items you want to keep, or tag them in advance. If items need moving to another address, we can arrange this through our man and van service.
Do you provide documentation for probate?
Yes. We provide waste transfer notes, donation receipts, and an itemised record of removed items. Many families find this useful for probate administration, though documentation requirements vary. We recommend confirming what your solicitor needs before the clearance date. All paperwork is included at no extra cost.
How quickly can you arrange a house clearance?
Most house clearances are scheduled within 3–5 working days of your enquiry. For urgent situations, such as probate deadlines or emergency moves, same-week clearance is often available. Contact us and we will confirm availability for your date.
Do you operate across the UK or just London?
We cover London and the surrounding areas, including the Home Counties and many locations across England. If you are unsure whether we serve your area, get in touch and we will let you know. We handle house clearances for private homeowners, families, landlords, and estate agents across our full coverage area.
What size property can you clear?
We clear properties of all sizes. A single room starts from £199. A 2-bed flat typically falls between £400 and £700. A full 3-bed or larger house clearance ranges from £600 to £1,000 or more depending on volume and access. We assess each job individually and provide a fixed quote before we start.
