Pricing & Quotes

How much does a house clearance cost?

It depends on the size of the property and volume of items. Smaller clearances start from around £250, while larger full-property clearances can range from £400 upwards. We always provide a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. The price you're quoted is the price you pay. We clearly explain everything upfront, including any additional charges for specialist items such as fridges or mattresses — so there are never any surprises.

How do I get a quote?

Call us on 07853 504555, send us photos of the property, or we can arrange an in-person visit. We'll provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on what needs to be done.

Can items offset the cost?

Yes. Wherever possible we factor in the resale or recycling value of items during the quotation process, helping to keep your overall price as fair as possible.

The Clearance Process

Common questions about how our service works from start to finish.

Q1

How quickly can you carry out a house clearance?

In many cases we can provide a quote and complete the clearance within a few days. We understand some situations require a fast turnaround — particularly end-of-lease deadlines or probate properties — and we do our best to accommodate urgent requests.

Q2

Do I need to be present during the clearance?

No. As long as access can be arranged, we can complete the clearance on your behalf and provide updates throughout. This is particularly useful for executors managing an estate remotely.

Q3

What happens to the items you remove?

We aim to donate, recycle, or reuse as much as possible. Usable items are passed on to local charities, and any remaining waste is disposed of responsibly at licensed facilities. Our goal is always to minimise landfill.

Q4

Do you leave the property clean after a clearance?

Yes. Once we've removed all agreed items, we sweep and tidy the property before we leave — ready for the market, a new tenant, or handover to a landlord.

Specialist Services

01

Can you clear a house after a bereavement?

Yes. We regularly carry out probate and bereavement clearances with sensitivity and respect. We work with families to ensure sentimental items and valuables are set aside before any clearance begins.

02

Do you offer confidential document shredding?

Yes. Available as an optional add-on, our secure shredding service is ideal for probate and estate clearances where old financial records and sensitive documents come to light.

03

Can you clear just one room or a single item?

Absolutely. We handle single item collections, partial clearances, garage and loft clear-outs, or just one room. You only pay for what you need — nothing more.

04

Do you carry out commercial clearances?

Yes. We handle offices, retail spaces, warehouses, schools, and other business premises. Whether it's end-of-lease or pre-renovation, we manage the whole process professionally.

Coverage & Licensing

What areas do you cover?

We cover Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Stoke-on-Trent — including Stafford, Uttoxeter, Burton upon Trent, Lichfield, Rugeley, Derby, and Nottingham. Not sure? Call us on 07853 504555.

Are you fully licensed and insured?

Yes. We are a fully licensed waste carrier and are fully insured. All waste is transported and disposed of legally at licensed facilities, in full compliance with environmental regulations.

Probate Questions

Do you need probate before clearing a house?

Not necessarily. While the sale of a property may need to wait for probate, the contents can often be cleared beforehand. We recommend ensuring valuables and important documents are set aside first — we're happy to advise during your free consultation.

Can you work with solicitors and executors?

Yes. We regularly work alongside solicitors, executors, and estate agents to ensure properties are cleared efficiently and in line with any legal requirements. We're happy to liaise directly if needed.
