How our house clearance service works
Supplying a clean and efficient service
For every single job we work on, we arrive punctually and supply an accurate quotation before we even begin the task. Our pricing is completely transparent with no hidden extras and you only pay for the space your house contents take up in our vans.
We then work across your chosen space to collect every unwanted item of junk in a quick in efficient manner, returning much needed space to you and often revealing just how much bigger your house was then you’d come to expect.
Once the items have been removed and the house clearance completed, we deliver them responsibly to licensed transfer stations for legally compliant disposal or recycling. We also ensure that anything that’s fit for reuse is donated to community charities so you can rest assured that everything that can be is recycled or reused.
Throughout the entire process, our trained, uniformed staff can work on your junk removal with or without your supervision; always working transparently and only removing items as instructed by you.
Our house clearance service explained
Fully trained and insured for work
You may feel your space offers a unique challenge but you can trust us when we say, we’ve offered our service in almost every kind of property you can imagine.
We can carry out clearances for any kind of house whether it’s a flat, studio apartment, 2-up 2-down or bungalow. We’ve even cleared out the former home of Charles Mackintosh and a former stately home – both jobs where our respectful and careful working methods were essential and appreciated.
From an extensive garden clearance in Glasgow to simpler fridge disposals in Edinburgh, we provide house clearances that cover as little or as much ground as you need us to. And we work in any room, whether that means we need to venture down into a forgotten basement or head up the ladders to take care of a full loft clearance.
Our house clearance can be either partial or complete depending on what you need. We clear any and all of the following:
- All public rooms
- Lofts and roof spaces
- Basements and cellars
- Garages and outbuildings

We uplift almost anything. The few exceptions are food waste, liquids and hazardous waste. Everything we uplift is sorted and items that can be recycled are taken to the relevant recycling centres, this includes WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), domestic and commercial fridges, wood, metal, paper, cardboard and WUDS (Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating).
Yes, it’s what we do. We appreciate the difficulty, stress and emotion involved with clearing the property of a loved one. We have many years of experience in this area so are equipped to help with kindness and sensitivity. Give us a call to discuss your needs.
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.
However, it’s a more common situation than you may imagine and one we have more than a little experience with. We cover properties in and around Glasgow, Edinburgh and Central Scotland. Give us a call, we’re here to help.
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.
