Whatever needs clearing, there is a firm for it
Nineteen kinds of clearance, and every one has its own guide: what actually happens, what decides the price, and what to check before you book anyone. Written from the trade, not from a brochure.

Whole properties
The full job: everything out, swept through, ready to sell, let or hand back.
House clearance
Most bookedWhole-property clearances by licence-checked local firms, with the waste transfer note the law requires.
1–3 daysFlat clearance
Flats, maisonettes and apartments, including upper floors with no lift.
Under a dayGarden clearance
Green waste, sheds, fencing and everything that has grown into the fence.
Half a dayGarage clearance
Garages, sheds and outbuildings, including the paint tins nobody wants to touch.
Half a dayLoft clearance
Lofts emptied safely, including the boxes nobody has opened since moving in.
Half a dayWhen something has happened
Clearances that need handling rather than just shifting. Different pace, different crew, and usually a deadline attached to something else.
Probate & estate clearance
Most bookedSensitive clearances for executors, with keepsakes set aside and contents valued before anything moves.
At your paceHoarder house clearance
Discreet, non-judgemental clearances of heavily hoarded properties.
Days to weeksEnd of tenancy clearance
Void turnarounds, cleared, swept and photographed, ready to relet.
Same or next dayDownsizing clearance
Moving somewhere smaller, at your pace, with resale value returned to you.
1–2 daysPre-sale clearance
Vacant possession by your completion date, broom-clean and photographed.
1–2 daysBusiness premises
Offices, shops and units, worked around your trading hours and your lease.
Single items
One awkward thing, or a few. Priced by the visit rather than by the item, so two or three together usually cost little more than one.
Sofa removal
Sofas and armchairs removed and disposed of under POPs rules.
Same or next dayMattress disposal
Mattresses and divans taken away and recycled properly.
Same or next dayFridge & freezer disposal
Fridges and freezers removed and degassed under F-gas rules.
1–2 daysPiano removal
Upright and grand pianos removed by people who have moved one before.
By assessmentFurniture removal
Single items or a few rooms, wardrobes, beds, tables, whatever will not fit in a car.
1–2 daysWhite goods removal
Washers, cookers, dishwashers and tumble dryers taken for WEEE recycling.
1–2 daysRubbish removal
General household waste cleared by a licensed carrier, with the paperwork.
Same or next dayThree steps, no chasing
