Attic Clearance Service

It could be one of the biggest spaces in your home but an attic clearance can be a daunting task.

Most of us have the same story when it comes to loft space. We move into our new home, put some things in the loft to keep them out of the way, and intend to clear out all of that space later on. But tomorrow never comes and the pile of junk in the attic only gets bigger and bigger. Scarier and scarier to deal with.

Fear not. Junk-it is the attic clearance service you’ve been needing. Offering loft clearance to get rid of junk at low costs across Glasgow, Edinburgh and Central Scotland.

We offer clearance solutions to fit any unique requirements

Whether you’re clearing a little bit of space for yourself, preparing for renovation work or getting your house ready to sell, our loft and attic clearance service aims to make the process as simple and hassle-free for you as possible.

Our uniformed experts will arrive promptly, remove all unwanted items, tidy up and leave a neat (often unrecognisable) space behind.

And that’s just the beginning of the clearing process. We consider every item we take to ensure that anything that can be recycled is recycled. These will end up at licensed transfer stations on their way to recycling.

In many cases, loft items are actually in great condition and perfectly fit for reuse. Under these conditions, we do all we can to ensure they are reused by people who need them by donating them to local charities.

For insurance purposes, we can only offer attic clearance services in floored loft and attic spaces.

We uplift almost anything. The few exceptions are food waste, liquids and hazardous waste.

We understand it can be a shock when you discover a friend or relative was a hoarder. You may be experiencing feelings of embarrassment, guilt or even despair, especially if you are the one left with the responsibility of clearing the property.

Yes, if you are unable to meet us at the property, we can collect keys held by a local estate agent, solicitor or letting agent.

Every property and situation is different which is why we provide free no obligation quotes. Please get in touch to discuss via phone, email or our online enquiry form.

Items like mattresses and fridges require multiple steps to ensure responsible disposal. We use a custom mattress recycling centre that deconstruct mattresses ensuring that each component is recycled or disposed of in the correct way. The same goes for fridges which need to be degassed before they can be recycled.

New legislation (as of January 2024 in Scotland) regarding the disposal of waste upholstered domestic seating (WUDS) containing fire retardants has meant that sofas are now one of the most expensive items to dispose of as measures must be taken to prevent persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from escaping into the environment. You can read more about WUDS and POP on our blog.

No, our service is much better than hiring a skip! We provide truck teams to do all the lifting and loading. We remove almost anything, notable exceptions are food waste, liquids and hazardous material. Bulk waste uplift and rubbish removal can be carried out by our team on the day of your appointment, saving you time and energy! And you only pay for the space your junk takes up in the truck.

We do all the lifting, loading and clean up for you and our charges reflect only the volume of junk we remove. With skip hire, you pay for the entire volume of the skip, regardless of how much you fill.

There is also the added hassle and expense of applying for a skip permit in advance and the fact that you need to do all the loading and clearing up yourself. On top of all that, you usually have to put up with neighbours using your skip to dump their own junk as well!

Our rates are based on the amount and type of junk being removed. Until we see what is to be removed, we can’t give you an exact price. Once at the premises, our team will review the materials to be removed and provide you with a free no obligation quote before any work is carried out. If you are happy with the quote, the work can usually be carried out there and then.

For larger jobs or commercial work, we can arrange a site visit in order to provide a quote and the uplift can be scheduled at a later date, once the quote has been approved and all the invoicing details are confirmed.

No, we do all the heavy lifting and loading. Our uniformed staff can collect items from anywhere inside or outside the property. On occasion an additional labour charge may apply if it’s particularly labour intensive, time consuming or out with our normal working hours.

The vast majority is recycled or reused by being donated to local charities or taken to specialist recycling facilities. Where those options are not possible we take waste to licensed Waste Transfer Stations where it is sorted and disposed of in the least environmentally damaging way possible.

The way it works is, we arrange an appointment with you for a truck team to stop by. You point out what you would like removed. The driver will tell you how much it will cost based on volume. If you are happy with the quote the guys will load up your junk and take it away. You can view our prices here. We provide free no obligation quotes.
