How much does a house clearance cost in London?
We price by volume. Single items start from £45, a half van from £139, a full Luton from £319, and a typical 2-bed is around 20 cubic yards — £399 including VAT and labour.
What happens to my items?
Everything is sorted. Usable furniture and goods are upcycled or donated to charity, materials are recycled, and only what's left goes to licensed, certified disposal. You get a waste transfer note for every job.
Are you licensed?
Yes — registered with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier (CBDU 6584033) and fully insured.
Can you come today?
Usually. Same-day slots run across London 7 days a week, for just £20 extra.
Do I need to be there?
No. Probate, landlord and agent jobs are often key-holder access, with before-and-after photos by email.
Do you cover outside London?
Yes, our van fleet covers all major UK towns and cities. Travel is confirmed with your final quote.
What can't you take?
Asbestos, clinical waste, explosives and some hazardous chemicals need specialist handling. Tell us up front and we'll arrange a licensed specialist.
Is there a minimum charge?
Our minimum is £45 for a single item or car-boot load, including VAT, labour and disposal.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit secures the booking and the balance is paid on completion by bank transfer or card.
Is the price fixed?
We give a fixed price in writing after seeing photos. If there's less on the day, you pay less.
How to spot a rogue rubbish collector
- No waste carrier registration number — or one that doesn't match the public register.
- Cash only, no paperwork, no waste transfer note.
- A price that seems too cheap for the load (disposal alone costs money).
- Unmarked vans and no business address.
If your waste is fly-tipped, you can be fined. Always ask for the licence number and a written quote.
Nothing just gets dumped.
Every load goes through the same five steps. Good furniture finds a new home, charities get stock, materials get a second life, and only the true leftovers go to licensed, certified disposal.
