White Goods Removal

At House Clearance, we deliver a safe, efficient, and fully compliant white goods removal service across the UK. Large domestic appliances are heavy, awkward to move, and regulated under environmental law. Our trained teams handle the lifting, access challenges, and lawful disposal—so you don’t have to.

Whether you are replacing an appliance, clearing a property, or managing a tenancy change, we remove white goods promptly and responsibly, prioritising recycling and environmental protection at every stage.

What Is White Goods Removal?

White goods removal is the collection and lawful disposal of large household appliances that cannot be placed in standard waste streams. These items often contain hazardous components and must be transported by a licensed carrier to authorised facilities.

Our service includes disconnection where appropriate, safe handling through your property, transport, and compliant processing. All work is carried out by a licensed and insured waste carrier to meet UK regulations.

How Our White Goods Removal Service Works

We keep the process clear, efficient, and accountable.

Step 1: Assessment

We confirm the appliance type, size, and access details such as stairs, lifts, or parking. Photos help us quote accurately.

Step 2: Fixed Quotation

You receive a clear, upfront price covering labour, transport, recycling, and disposal—no hidden fees.

Step 3: Collection

Our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways, and removes appliances safely.

Step 4: Responsible Processing

Appliances are transported by a licensed carrier to authorised treatment facilities for compliant recycling.

Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees

Pricing is based on the number and size of appliances, access conditions, and labour required. This ensures fairness and accuracy.

All quotes include loading, transport, recycling, and disposal. There are no permit fees, fuel surcharges, or unexpected extras.

Why Professional White Goods Removal Is Better Than DIY or Council Options

Large appliances are heavy and often restricted by council collections.

  • No heavy lifting or injury risk
  • No damage to walls, stairs, or door frames
  • No waiting weeks for limited council slots
  • No uncertainty around lawful disposal

A professional white goods removal service delivers speed, safety, and compliance.

White goods fall under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment regulations and must be handled correctly.

House Clearance is a licensed waste carrier and fully insured. All removals meet the UK Duty of Care, protecting you from fines or liability associated with improper disposal.

Recycling-First & Landfill Reduction

We prioritise recycling and recovery wherever possible. Appliances are dismantled at authorised facilities to recover metals, plastics, and refrigerants.

Only residual, non-recyclable materials are sent to landfill. Environmental responsibility underpins every collection we complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does white goods removal cost?

Costs depend on the number and size of appliances, access conditions, and labour required. We provide fixed quotations that include collection, transport, recycling, and disposal. There are no hidden fees, allowing clear and predictable budgeting.

Do you offer same-day white goods removal?

Same-day or next-day availability is often possible, subject to location and capacity. Early contact improves the chances of securing a same-day collection, particularly for single appliances.

Is white goods removal legally compliant?

Yes. We operate as a licensed waste carrier and comply with UK WEEE regulations. This ensures your Duty of Care obligations are met and protects you from legal risk.

What happens to appliances after collection?

Appliances are taken to authorised facilities where materials are recovered for recycling. Refrigerants and hazardous components are treated correctly, with landfill used only for non-recyclable residues.

How does white goods removal differ from skip hire or council collection?

Skip hire requires manual loading and permits, while council services are limited. White goods removal includes lifting, access management, and compliant recycling, making it safer and more convenient.
