How house clearance pricing works

We do not publish a price list, because no two clearances are the same. Instead, we give you a free, no-obligation quote for your specific job. This page explains how that quote is worked out so you can see it is fair.

How our pricing works

Our fee is simple and covers the real costs of doing the job properly: staff wages, fuel and recycling-centre fees. Each of our vans holds about 1.5 tonnes, which is roughly the same as four 8-yard builder's skips. If there are too many items for one van trip, a second load costs 50% of the fee, which covers the extra recycling-centre costs involved.

What affects the price

• Volume: the amount of furniture, boxes and general belongings is the biggest factor.
• Access: long carries to the van, narrow hallways and awkward entrances take more time.
• Stairs and flats: upper floors without a lift, and lofts, mean more effort.
• Parking: if the van cannot park close, loading takes longer.
• Heavy items: pianos, safes, large appliances and solid furniture need extra handling.
• Items needing special disposal: some electricals, mattresses and other materials have specific disposal requirements. See our responsible disposal guide.

Typical van loads by job size

These are guides only. A tidy house can need less than expected, while a full one can need more.

Why we do not publish a price list

A fixed price per room or per property would be unfair to someone with a tidy flat, and misleading for someone with a packed house and a full loft. By quoting each job individually from photos or a visit, you pay for the work that is actually needed, and nothing more. The figure you receive is a clear price for the job in front of us, not a vague estimate that grows on the day.

How to get an accurate quote

The quickest way is to send photos of every room, the loft, garage and garden by WhatsApp to 07898 719 509. We can then quote without a visit in most cases. If the property is large, very full or has difficult access, we can arrange a visit instead. You can also use the quote form on any page.

Ways to keep the cost down

• Set aside items you want to keep before we arrive, so we only remove what you want gone.
• Sell or donate high-value items first, such as good furniture, antiques or jewellery, where it makes sense.
• Take photos at the start so the quote matches the job.
• Tell us about parking and access in advance.
• Book with a little notice so we can plan efficiently.

A word on very cheap quotes

If a quote looks far lower than others, it is worth asking why. Legitimate disposal costs money, in recycling-centre fees, fuel and wages. A company that cuts corners may dump waste illegally, and you could be held responsible. Always ask for waste carrier details, which we are happy to show on request, and read our guide to responsible disposal for more.

We will confirm payment options with your quote. For help with the process, see how it works or get in touch.
