Flat Clearance
At Go RubbishGo Ltd., we provide reliable, fully compliant flat clearance services for properties of all sizes and conditions. Whether you are clearing a small studio or a large multi-bedroom flat, our experienced teams remove unwanted items efficiently, responsibly and with minimal disruption.
Flat clearances often come with time pressures, access challenges and strict building rules. We understand how to work within shared properties, manage stairwells and lifts, and leave flats empty and ready for their next stage — whether that’s re-letting, sale or refurbishment.
What Is Flat Clearance?
Flat clearance is the complete removal of unwanted furniture, household items and rubbish from a flat or apartment. This can range from partial clear-outs to full property clearance following a move-out, tenancy end or change of ownership.
Our flat clearance service ensures everything is removed in one visit, with waste handled correctly and disposed of through authorised facilities. The result is a clear, safe and presentable property without the stress of managing the process yourself.
Who Our Flat Clearance Service Is For
We support a wide range of customers who need professional flat clearance:
- Homeowners preparing flats for sale or renovation
- Tenants clearing belongings before moving out
- Landlords managing rental properties
- Letting and estate agents handling property turnover
- Property managers overseeing blocks of flats
- Executors dealing with inherited properties
Whether the clearance is planned in advance or required urgently, we tailor our approach to suit the situation.

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees
Pricing for flat clearance is based on the volume and type of waste removed, not on fixed packages. This ensures a fair cost whether you are clearing a few items or an entire flat.
All costs are agreed upfront, with no hidden charges for stairs, lifts, labour or disposal. This transparency allows you to plan confidently without unexpected expenses.
Why Professional Flat Clearance Is Better Than DIY or Council Options
DIY clearance often involves multiple trips, heavy lifting and difficulties navigating shared buildings. Council bulky waste services are limited, slow and rarely suitable for full flat clearances.
Our service removes everything in one visit, with trained professionals handling all aspects of the job. This saves time, reduces physical strain and ensures waste is disposed of correctly.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
All waste must be disposed of responsibly. Go RubbishGo Ltd. is a licensed waste carrier and operates in full compliance with UK waste regulations.
We help landlords, tenants and agents meet their Duty of Care by ensuring waste is transferred and processed correctly at authorised facilities, protecting all parties from legal risk.
Recycling-First and Environmentally Responsible
We prioritise recycling and reuse wherever possible. Furniture, metals, wood and electrical items are separated and sent to appropriate recycling or recovery facilities.
Only non-recyclable waste is directed to landfill, helping reduce environmental impact while maintaining efficient clearance.
Trusted, Insured and Professional
Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in working within flats and apartment buildings. We understand access restrictions, shared spaces and the importance of working respectfully and efficiently.
Professional standards, reliability and responsible waste handling are central to every clearance we undertake.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does flat clearance cost?
The cost depends on the volume and type of items being removed, as well as access factors such as stairs or lifts. Pricing is based on how much space the waste occupies in our vehicle, ensuring a fair and flexible approach. All costs are confirmed before work begins, with no hidden fees for labour, lifting or disposal. This makes budgeting straightforward and transparent.
Can you provide same-day flat clearance?
Same-day flat clearance is often available, subject to location and availability. This is particularly helpful for urgent move-outs, inspections or last-minute property handovers. We will confirm the earliest possible attendance at the time of booking so you can plan accordingly.
Is your flat clearance service legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully within UK waste legislation. All waste is taken to authorised facilities, supporting your Duty of Care and protecting you from legal or financial consequences associated with improper disposal.
What happens to items after the flat is cleared?
Items are assessed for recycling, reuse or responsible disposal. Furniture, metals and electrical items are separated where possible, with recyclable materials diverted from landfill. Only non-recyclable waste is disposed of, reducing environmental impact.
How does flat clearance compare to skip hire or council collections?
Skip hire requires permits, space and manual loading, which is often impractical for flats. Council services are limited and slow. Our flat clearance service includes full removal from inside the property, immediate clearance and compliant disposal, making it faster and more convenient for flats and apartments.
