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.

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.
