Project overview
This job concerned a two-bedroom terraced house in Ilford, IG1, where the goal was to clear remaining furniture before refurbishment. houseclearance.co put the request out to 10 carriers, 5 of whom bid, and the job record shows a price of £1,300.
The job was posted on 30 July 2026 and marked completed on 10 August 2026, a 11-day turnaround from first listing to handover.
Items removed and quantity
The inventory for this job covered:
- Wardrobes
- A double bed
- A dining table
- Bookcases
- Packed household bags
Taken together, this amounted to an estimated 4–6 cubic yards of material. Fitted fixtures, hazardous waste, paint and rubble are excluded without a separate assessment.
Access and logistics
Handling this job needs to account for stairs between bedrooms and the ground-floor exit; a short pedestrian carry. Furniture may require safe disassembly where appropriate to work within these conditions.
How the clearance was completed
Wardrobes and the rest of the inventory were handled according to the access conditions noted above – stairs between bedrooms and the ground-floor exit; a short pedestrian carry. Furniture may require safe disassembly where appropriate to work within these conditions; fitted fixtures, hazardous waste, paint and rubble are excluded without a separate assessment.
Any reusable items are set aside for an appropriate reuse route where feasible, with the remaining waste going through authorised disposal channels.
Final cost and pricing factors
5 bids came in on this job, ranging from £1,300 up to £1,535, with the lower figure winning. The volume involved – an estimated 4–6 cubic yards of material – is a significant driver, alongside the access conditions already noted: stairs between bedrooms and the ground-floor exit; a short pedestrian carry.
