House Clearance
At House Clearance, we provide a professional, reliable, and fully compliant house clearance service for domestic and commercial clients across the UK. Whether you are clearing a single room or an entire property, our experienced team manages the process with care, efficiency, and respect.
We understand that house clearance is often required during stressful or sensitive situations. Our role is to remove unwanted contents safely, responsibly, and legally—allowing you to focus on what matters most.
What Is a House Clearance Service?
A house clearance service involves the removal of unwanted items, furniture, and household waste from a property. This may include occupied homes, empty properties, or premises being prepared for sale, letting, renovation, or handover.
Our service covers everything from lifting and loading to transport and lawful disposal. All waste is handled in accordance with UK regulations, with a strong focus on recycling and reuse.

- Homeowners clearing clutter, downsizing, or moving
- Families managing probate or bereavement clearances

Every clearance is approached with discretion, professionalism, and respect for the property.

How Our House Clearance Service Works
We follow a clear, structured process to ensure every clearance is efficient and transparent.
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We discuss your requirements and assess the volume and type of contents. Photos can help provide an accurate quotation.
Step 2: Fixed Quotation
You receive a clear, upfront price based on labour, access, and disposal requirements. There are no hidden charges.
Step 3: Clearance Day
Our trained team arrives on time, removes all agreed items, and treats the property with care.
Step 4: Responsible Disposal
All waste is transported by a licensed waste carrier and processed at authorised facilities.
Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees
Our pricing is based on the actual work involved rather than arbitrary skip sizes. Factors include volume, weight, access, and labour time.
The quoted price includes loading, transport, recycling, and disposal. There are no additional permit fees, fuel surcharges, or unexpected costs. This ensures clarity and fairness from the outset.
Why Professional House Clearance Is Better Than DIY
Attempting a clearance yourself or relying on council services can be time-consuming and physically demanding.
- No heavy lifting or risk of injury
- No repeated trips to recycling centres
- No delays waiting for council collections
- No risk of improper or illegal disposal
A professional house clearance service provides speed, efficiency, and peace of mind—particularly for larger or time-sensitive clearances.
Legal Compliance & Duty of Care
UK law requires anyone disposing of waste to ensure it is handled correctly under the Duty of Care. Using an unlicensed operator can result in fines or legal liability.
House Clearance operates as a licensed and fully insured waste carrier. All collections are documented, and waste is taken only to authorised treatment and recycling facilities, ensuring full compliance at every stage.
Recycling-First & Environmentally Responsible Disposal
We prioritise reuse and recycling wherever possible. Items suitable for reuse are separated, while recyclable materials are processed through approved facilities.
This approach significantly reduces landfill use and supports responsible waste management. Ethical disposal is a core principle of our service, not an afterthought.
Trust, Experience & Professional Standards
Our reputation is built on consistent standards and responsible practices.
- Years of hands-on clearance experience
- Fully trained and uniformed teams
- Insured operations for client protection
- Respectful handling of properties and contents
- Clear communication throughout the process
We treat every clearance with the seriousness it deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house clearance cost?
The cost depends on the volume and type of contents, ease of access, and labour required. We provide fixed, upfront quotations based on these factors. The price includes loading, transport, recycling, and disposal, with no hidden charges. This ensures you only pay for the service you actually need.
Can you provide same-day house clearance?
Same-day or next-day clearances are often available, subject to location and availability. This is particularly useful for urgent situations such as property sales, landlord handovers, or probate deadlines. Contacting us early improves the chances of rapid scheduling.
Is your house clearance service legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and fully compliant with UK waste regulations. All waste is handled under the Duty of Care, protecting you from legal risks associated with improper disposal or fly-tipping.
What happens to items after the clearance?
Items are sorted for reuse, recycling, or disposal. Reusable items are diverted where possible, while recyclable materials are processed at authorised facilities. Only non-recyclable waste is sent to landfill, minimising environmental impact.
How does house clearance differ from skip hire or council collection?
Skip hire requires manual loading, permits, and space, while council collections can be limited and slow. Our service includes all labour, flexible scheduling, and full disposal management. It is often faster, safer, and more practical for complete property clearances.
