House Clearance in London
London House Clearance provides comprehensive, fully compliant house clearance services across London. We help homeowners, landlords, executors and property professionals clear entire houses quickly, respectfully and responsibly, regardless of size or condition.
Clearing a house can be physically demanding and emotionally challenging, particularly during life transitions such as bereavement, downsizing or relocation. Our experienced teams manage the process with care, efficiency and professionalism, ensuring properties are left completely clear and ready for their next stage.
What Is House Clearance?
House clearance is the complete removal of unwanted furniture, personal belongings and waste from a residential property. This may involve clearing one room, multiple rooms or an entire house, including lofts, garages, sheds and outdoor areas.
Unlike basic rubbish removal, a full house clearance often includes mixed waste types, bulky items and strict time constraints. Using a professional service ensures everything is handled safely and in line with UK waste regulations.
Who Our House Clearance Service Is For
Our service supports a wide range of clients and situations, including:
- Homeowners moving, downsizing or renovating
- Landlords preparing properties for re-letting or sale
- Executors managing probate and inherited properties
- Letting and estate agents with tight turnaround times
- Property managers overseeing vacant or neglected homes
From small terraced houses to large family homes, we adapt our approach to suit the property and circumstances.
What Is Included in a House Clearance
Common Items We Remove
We clear most non-hazardous items typically found in homes, including:
- Furniture such as sofas, beds, wardrobes and tables
- White goods and electrical appliances
- Bagged rubbish and loose household waste
- Carpets, curtains and soft furnishings
- Kitchen contents, cupboards and general clutter
- Items stored in lofts, garages and sheds
Items That Require Specialist Handling
Some materials cannot be included in a standard house clearance:
- Asbestos-containing materials
- Hazardous chemicals or liquids
- Clinical or medical waste
If restricted items are present, we identify them early and advise on safe, compliant solutions.
How Our House Clearance Service Works
- Initial assessment – We gather details about the property, items to be removed and access requirements.
- Clear quotation – You receive an upfront price based on volume, labour and disposal needs.
- Flexible scheduling – We arrange a suitable date, including same-day or next-day options where available.
- Complete clearance – Our trained team clears all agreed areas efficiently and respectfully.
- Responsible disposal – Waste is sorted for recycling and taken to authorised facilities.
Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees
Our house clearance pricing is honest and straightforward. Costs are influenced by:
- Size of the property and volume of items
- Labour required
- Access conditions such as stairs or parking
All quotes include labour, transport and disposal. There are no hidden extras, helping you plan with confidence during what can already be a stressful time.
Why Professional House Clearance Is the Better Option
DIY house clearance can take days or weeks, involve heavy lifting and create legal risks if waste is disposed of incorrectly. Council services are limited and unsuitable for full property clearances.
A professional service offers:
- Fast, reliable turnaround
- Safe handling of heavy and awkward items
- Full legal compliance
- No need for multiple collections or skip permits
- A completely cleared, ready-to-use property
For landlords, executors and homeowners alike, this saves time, effort and unnecessary stress.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
London House Clearance is a licensed waste carrier operating fully under UK Duty of Care regulations. All waste removed from homes must be disposed of responsibly.
Our service ensures:
- Waste is transferred only to authorised facilities
- Environmental regulations are followed
- You remain fully compliant with the law
This protects you from potential liability associated with fly-tipping or improper disposal.
Recycling-First and Landfill Reduction
We prioritise reuse and recycling wherever possible. Furniture, electrical items and recyclable materials are separated and diverted from landfill when suitable.
Only non-recyclable waste is sent for final disposal, reducing environmental impact while delivering a thorough clearance.
Trusted, Insured and Experienced Teams
Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in handling house clearances sensitively and efficiently. We work to professional standards, respect the property and maintain discretion at all times.
With years of experience across London homes, we understand the practical and emotional aspects of clearing a property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house clearance cost?
Costs depend on the size of the property, volume of items and access conditions. All pricing is provided upfront and includes labour, transport and disposal. This transparency allows you to budget accurately without worrying about hidden charges.
Can you provide same-day house clearance?
Same-day and next-day services are often available, depending on location and availability. This is particularly helpful for urgent sales, tenancy deadlines or probate timelines. Early contact improves the chances of securing a rapid booking.
Is house clearance legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and operate fully under UK Duty of Care regulations. All waste is taken to authorised facilities, ensuring correct disposal and protecting you from legal liability.
What happens to items after the house is cleared?
Items are assessed for reuse and recycling wherever possible. Recyclable materials are diverted from landfill, with only non-recyclable waste sent for final disposal. This approach supports responsible waste management.
How does house clearance differ from skip hire or council collection?
Skip hire requires permits, space and manual loading, while council services are limited and slow. Our house clearance service includes labour, flexible scheduling and complete property clearance, making it faster and more convenient.
