How to choose the right clearance service
Not sure which visit you need? Use these quick pointers to choose the right clearance service:
- Household and business waste services: Domestic clearances suit homes, flats and gardens; commercial services cover offices, shops, hospitality and light industrial.
- One-off vs ongoing: Book a one‑off sweep for renovations, moves, or end of tenancy; arrange scheduled collections for business waste.
- Size and access: Smaller jobs fit in a single van load; larger or restricted access sites may need multiple trips. Photos help us plan.
- Add-ons: You can add extra labour and lifting help if items are heavy or upstairs. We always load for you; extra time can be added on site if agreed.
Still unsure? Share photos and a brief inventory and we’ll advise the best fit. See how we work at How it works.
What we remove

- Furniture: sofas, wardrobes, tables, beds and mattresses
- Appliances: fridges/freezers, washing machines, cookers, dishwashers

For items accepted for disposal and materials we recycle, see service‑specific notes below. If you’re unsure about an item, just ask.
Waste removal service exclusions
For safety and legal compliance, we cannot collect:
- Asbestos, chemicals, oils, paints/solvents, gas bottles
- Clinical or biohazard waste, syringes, animal remains
- Loose soil, rubble or sand not bagged or accessible
- Live electrical wiring, items fixed to mains without isolation

Our disposal and recycling approach
We prioritise reuse and recycling wherever possible. Items in good condition may be directed to approved reuse routes. Mixed waste is sorted to recover recyclables such as metals, wood, cardboard and certain plastics. Some materials require segregation (for example, plasterboard and WEEE) to comply with regulations. We provide duty of care documentation on request and dispose of all waste at licensed facilities.

Some materials (e.g., plasterboard, mattresses, fridges) require special handling and may be charged based on volume and processing requirements.
How service types differ
- Scope: A “clearance” covers whole rooms or properties; a “removal” tends to be item‑based. We advise the most cost‑effective fit.
- Access: Multi‑storey, narrow stairwells or limited parking may affect timing and labour. Please highlight in advance.
- Sorting: Some waste streams must be kept separate (e.g., plasterboard, WEEE, fridges) for lawful disposal.
- Time on site: We allocate a base loading window; extra time can be added if needed and agreed on the day.
- Documentation: Commercial clients can request duty of care records and WEEE notes.

You can combine services for efficiency, such as house clearance plus shed clearance, or office clearance with e‑waste collection. Tell us:

Same day options across services
We offer same day options across services where our schedule allows. Early contact improves the chance of a same‑day slot. If same day isn’t possible, we’ll offer the earliest alternative. For urgent requests, call 020 4634 1577.
Add-on labour and lifting help
Every booking includes loading by our team. If you have heavy, awkward or upstairs items, you can request extra labour at booking. We bring basic tools for safe dismantling of furniture and non‑hardwired appliances. For large dismantles or specialist removals, please flag requirements so we can schedule the right crew.
Preparing for your collection
A little preparation keeps things smooth:
- Separate restricted items (paints, oils, gas bottles) and tell us about them
- Bag small loose waste where practical
- Clear a path to bulky items and reserve parking if needed
- Label items to keep vs remove
- Photograph anything unusual or especially heavy
More guidance is available in our FAQ.
