What clearance firms cover

Firms here range from man and van operators handling a single sofa to teams that empty a whole property. Typical jobs include full and part house clearances, garage, loft and shed clears, garden waste, office clearances, and the collection of bulky furniture and white goods. Most sort what they remove so that usable items are reused or donated and the rest is recycled where possible, with only the remainder going to disposal.

Licensed waste carriers and your duty of care

Anyone removing waste for you should be a registered waste carrier with the Environment Agency. This matters because of your duty of care as a householder. If waste you hand over is fly-tipped, the penalty can fall on you unless you used a licensed carrier and can show where it went. Ask to see the firm's waste carrier registration and request a waste transfer note or receipt that records what was taken and how it was disposed of.

Probate and full property clearances

Clearing a home after a bereavement or for a house sale is a common reason to call a clearance firm. Good operators work sensitively, can set aside items the family wants to keep, and will look for anything of value before disposal. Some offer to offset the cost against items they can resell. If the property also needs emptying of larger volumes of building or garden waste, a skip may work alongside the clearance.

What it typically costs

Clearance is usually priced by the van load or by volume, with access, stairs and the amount of heavy or hazardous material affecting the figure. Donating and recycling can reduce what reaches landfill and sometimes the price. Ask for a written quote, confirm the firm is a licensed carrier, and check whether the price includes labour and disposal fees. For builders' waste or larger volumes see our skip hire and waste listings, and for moving rather than disposal our removals and storage firms.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make sure my waste is removed legally?

Use a firm that is a registered waste carrier with the Environment Agency and ask for a waste transfer note or receipt. As a householder you have a duty of care, and if waste you hand over is fly-tipped you can be penalised unless you can show you used a licensed carrier. Reputable firms are happy to show their registration.

What happens to the items removed?

Good firms sort what they clear so that usable furniture and goods are reused or donated, recyclable material is separated, and only the remainder goes to disposal. If you have items of value, mention them, as some operators will offset these against the cost of the job.

How is clearance different from skip hire?

With clearance, a team does the lifting, loading and disposal for you, which suits probate jobs and bulky furniture. A skip is cheaper for waste you can load yourself over time, such as during building work. Many people use both. See our skip hire listings for the latter.

Can you clear a property for probate?

Yes. Several firms specialise in probate and bereavement clearances, working sensitively and setting aside anything the family wishes to keep. Confirm the firm is a licensed carrier and ask how it handles items of value and any paperwork you need for the estate.
