What is Home Clearance?

Everything you need to know about professional home clearance services

Home clearance, also known as house clearance, is the professional service of removing all unwanted items from a residential property. This can include furniture, appliances, personal belongings, garden waste and general household items. Whether you are dealing with a bereavement, preparing a property for sale, downsizing, or simply decluttering, a professional house clearance service can take the stress and hard work out of the process.

What Does Home Clearance Involve?

A typical home clearance involves the removal of all items from a property, including furniture, white goods, clothing, books, kitchenware, garden items and general waste. Our experienced team will carefully sort through everything, separating items for recycling, donation to charity, and responsible disposal. We handle properties of all sizes, from small flats to large family homes, and can include loft clearances, garage clearances and garden clearances as part of our service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a home clearance take?

The duration depends on the size of the property and the volume of items to be cleared. A typical 3-bedroom house can usually be cleared within a single day. Larger properties or those with significant amounts of items may take 2-3 days.

Do I need to be present during the clearance?

No, you do not need to be present. Many of our clients prefer to leave the keys with us and let us handle everything. However, you are welcome to be there if you prefer.

What happens to the items you remove?

We sort all items carefully. Usable items in good condition are donated to local charities. Recyclable materials are taken to appropriate recycling centres. Only items that cannot be reused or recycled are sent to licensed waste disposal facilities.
