How is a house clearance priced?

By the volume removed, the labour needed to carry it out, and disposal costs — with access (stairs, parking distance, lift availability) affecting the labour side. We quote a fixed price from photos or a short visit rather than charging by vague 'van loads'.

How do I know my waste is disposed of legally?

Ask for the Environment Agency waste carrier licence number and a waste transfer note. Under your duty of care, if waste from your property is fly-tipped you can be fined even though someone else dumped it. We're licensed and issue transfer documentation on every job.

Can you handle a probate clearance sensitively?

Yes. We set aside documents, photographs, jewellery and anything that looks personally or financially significant for the family to review before anything leaves, and we work to solicitor or estate-agent deadlines.

Is anything reused rather than dumped?

Wherever possible. Usable furniture, white goods and household items are routed to reuse and charity partners, with the remainder segregated for recycling; landfill is the last resort, not the default.

House clearance & waste guides

Clearance is the service people research under pressure — a probate deadline, a tenancy ending, or a family situation that has become unmanageable. The questions are always the same: what will it cost, how quickly can it happen, and where does everything actually go.

This desk answers those directly, including the licensing checks that protect you from fly-tipping liability, and the sensitive, paced approach hoarding clearances need rather than a single brutal day.
