Rubbish Clearance in London
London House Clearance provides reliable, fully compliant rubbish clearance services across London. We help households, landlords, businesses and property professionals remove unwanted waste quickly and responsibly—without the hassle, heavy lifting or legal uncertainty.
From everyday household rubbish to bulky items and mixed waste, rubbish can accumulate fast and become difficult to manage. Our experienced teams handle collection, loading and lawful disposal, leaving your space clear, safe and ready for use.
What Is Rubbish Clearance?
Rubbish clearance is the professional removal and disposal of unwanted waste from homes, offices and sites. This includes mixed materials that cannot be handled through standard bin collections or council services.
Using a professional service ensures waste is managed safely and in line with UK regulations. As a licensed waste carrier, we take responsibility for correct handling, transport and disposal at authorised facilities.

Whether you need a single item removed or a full clear-out, we tailor the service to your needs.

Why Professional Rubbish Clearance Is Better Than DIY or Council Options
DIY disposal often involves multiple trips, heavy lifting and the risk of incorrect disposal. Council collections are limited in scope and timing and may not accept bulky or mixed waste.
A professional service offers:
- Fast and flexible collection
- Safe handling of heavy and awkward items
- Full legal compliance
- No need for permits or vehicle hire
- Higher recycling and recovery rates
For most situations, professional clearance is the most efficient and responsible choice.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
London House Clearance operates as a licensed waste carrier and follows all UK Duty of Care requirements. Anyone producing or handling waste must ensure it is disposed of correctly.
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 liability linked to fly-tipping or improper disposal.
Recycling-First and Landfill Reduction
We prioritise recycling wherever possible. Recyclable materials such as cardboard, metals, plastics and electrical components are separated and diverted from landfill.
Only non-recyclable waste is sent for final disposal, reducing environmental impact while delivering a thorough clearance.
Experienced, Insured and Professional Teams
Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in handling rubbish clearance efficiently. We work to professional standards, respect your property and leave areas clean and tidy.
With years of experience across London homes and businesses, we understand how to deliver reliable clearance without disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rubbish clearance cost?
Costs depend on the volume and type of waste, access conditions and labour required. All pricing is provided upfront and includes collection, transport and disposal. This transparency helps you budget accurately without worrying about hidden fees.
Do you offer same-day rubbish clearance?
Same-day and next-day services are often available, depending on location and availability. This is ideal for urgent clearances, missed collections or time-sensitive situations. Early contact improves the chances of securing a rapid booking.
Is rubbish 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 rubbish after collection?
Waste is sorted to maximise recycling and recovery. Recyclable materials are diverted from landfill wherever possible, with only non-recyclable waste sent for final disposal at licensed sites.
How does rubbish clearance differ from skip hire or council collection?
Skip hire requires permits, space and manual loading, while council services are limited and inflexible. Our rubbish clearance service includes labour, flexible scheduling and compliant disposal, making it faster and more convenient.
