House Clearance

House clearance is the complete or partial removal of unwanted items, furniture and waste from a residential property. This may involve clearing a single room or an entire house, including lofts, garages, sheds and gardens.

Our house clearance service ensures all items are removed in an organised and professional manner, with waste disposed of through authorised facilities in line with UK regulations.

Who Our House Clearance Service Is For

We support a wide range of customers who require professional house clearance:

• Homeowners preparing a property for sale or renovation
• Tenants clearing a house before moving out
• Landlords managing end-of-tenancy clearances
• Letting and estate agents handling property turnover
• Executors dealing with probate or inherited properties
• Families managing long-term or hoarded properties
• Builders clearing houses before refurbishment

Each clearance is handled with discretion, efficiency and respect for the property and those involved.

How Our House Clearance Service Works

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees

House clearance pricing is based on the volume and type of items removed, not on fixed packages. This ensures a fair cost whether you are clearing a few rooms or an entire property.

All prices are agreed upfront, with no hidden charges for labour, stairs, heavy lifting or disposal. This transparency allows you to plan confidently without unexpected costs.

Why Professional House Clearance Is Better Than DIY or Council Options

DIY house clearance often involves multiple trips, van hire, heavy lifting and uncertainty around disposal rules. Council bulky waste services are limited and rarely suitable for full house clearances.

Our service removes everything in one visit, with trained professionals managing the process safely and efficiently. This saves time, reduces physical strain and ensures waste is handled correctly.

Legal Compliance and Duty of Care

All household waste must be disposed of responsibly. Go RubbishGo Ltd. is a licensed waste carrier and operates fully within UK waste regulations.

We support your Duty of Care by ensuring all waste is transferred to authorised facilities and processed correctly, protecting you from potential legal or financial consequences.

Recycling-First and Environmentally Responsible

We prioritise recycling and reuse wherever possible. Furniture, metals, wood and electrical items are separated and diverted from landfill where appropriate.

Only non-recyclable waste is disposed of, helping reduce environmental impact while maintaining an efficient clearance service.

Trusted, Insured and Professional Teams

Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in handling house clearances of all sizes and conditions. We work respectfully within homes, understanding that some clearances can be sensitive or emotionally challenging.

Professional standards, reliability and responsible waste handling are central to every job we undertake.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house clearance cost?

The cost depends on the size of the property, the volume of items and the type of waste involved. Pricing is based on how much space the waste occupies in our vehicle, providing a fair and flexible approach. All costs are confirmed before work begins, with no hidden fees for labour, lifting or disposal.

Can you provide same-day house clearance?

Same-day house clearance is often available, subject to location and availability. This is particularly useful for urgent property sales, inspections or unexpected deadlines. We will confirm the earliest possible attendance at the time of booking so you can plan accordingly.

Is your house clearance service legally compliant?

Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully in line with UK waste legislation. All waste is taken to authorised facilities, supporting your Duty of Care and ensuring responsible disposal.

What happens to items after the house is cleared?

Items are assessed for recycling, reuse or responsible disposal. Recyclable materials such as metal, wood and electrical components are diverted from landfill wherever possible. Only non-recyclable waste is disposed of, reducing environmental impact.

How does house clearance compare to skip hire or council collections?

Skip hire requires permits, space and manual loading, while council services are limited and slow. Our house clearance service includes full removal from inside the property, immediate clearance and compliant disposal, making it faster and more convenient for full property clear-outs.
