What you get.

We clear garages, lofts, sheds and the last of a house after a move. Anything still useful goes to a reuse shop first; the rest goes to a licensed transfer station, and you get the waste paperwork for every load. In England a business that carries waste has to be registered as a waste carrier, so ask anyone who offers to take your rubbish for their registration.

  • Loading from a garage, a loft hatch, a shed or a back yard
  • Usable furniture and tools taken to a reuse shop
  • The rest taken to a licensed transfer station
  • A waste transfer note for every load
  • A sweep of the floor once it is empty

Upper tier waste carrier, Environment Agency (England), registration DEMO-WC-1 (sample).

Full price

  • Quarter vanLocal area, disposal included£96
  • Half vanLocal area, disposal included£158
  • Full vanLocal area, disposal included£245

Tip run prices include the transfer station’s weighbridge fee for general household rubbish, for both ends in the local area.

  • Waiting at your end. Beyond the load's time allowance, when keys, a lift or a blocked street hold us up: £9 for each extra 15 minutes. We say so before it starts.
  • More than you described. If there is clearly more than the load you asked for, we say so before loading. The next load's price from the table applies only if you agree; otherwise we take what fits.
  • A wasted trip. If the job cannot go ahead once we arrive (nobody to let us in, or a piece you decide not to take): £25 local, £35 wider area, instead of the load price.

When it helps

When people ask us for this.

  • After a move

    The bits nobody wanted, left in the garage or the loft.

  • Clearing a family home

    A parent’s house that needs emptying before it is sold or let.

  • An old shed

    Old pots, broken chairs and a lawnmower that stopped years ago.

  • Before building work

    A room emptied so the builders can start, not their own rubble.

How it works

How this job works.

  1. Step 1: Send us photos first

    A few photos of the space are enough for most clearances.

  2. Step 2: We price it by the load

    The full price, written down, with the disposal fee already in it.

  3. Step 3: We clear and sort it

    Reuse first, the rest to a licensed site, and the paperwork to you.

FAQs

Questions about loft and garage clearances.

The phone, 07700 900614, is answered in working hours, and the request has a note box for anything these answers miss.

What can you not take?

Hazardous waste, such as asbestos, solvents and car batteries, and builders’ rubble. The council’s household recycling centres take some of these from householders, so we will point you there.

Do you take fridges, freezers or mattresses?

We have chosen not to take them on our clearances. Your council may collect them as bulky waste.

Where does it all end up?

You get a waste transfer note for every load, naming the site it went to.

Can you take old furniture to the tip?

Yes, as a tip run. In England, a business that carries waste must register as a waste carrier with the Environment Agency (GOV.UK). Wales and Scotland have their own registers, run by Natural Resources Wales and SEPA. Our registration is upper tier, number DEMO-WC-1 (sample).
