Probate, downsizing, end of tenancy and full property clearances

House Clearance in Kent

Clearing a whole house is a big job. When it follows a bereavement or a move, it’s often an emotional one too. We take care of it from start to finish: sorting, carrying, donating what can be reused and disposing of the rest properly. You get a fixed price from photos or a quick walk-round, and an empty, swept property at the end.

Quick answer

What does a house clearance involve?

A house clearance means removing everything you don’t want to keep from a property, from the loft down to the garden shed. A good clearance team sorts the contents into three piles as they go: items for reuse or charity, recycling (metal, wood, electricals, cardboard), and the waste that’s left over. Most three-bedroom houses take one day with a full crew. You don’t need to be there, as long as we know what to keep.

When people call us for a house clearance

Probate and bereavement

We work at your pace and around solicitors or estate agents. Paperwork, photos and anything personal we find gets set aside for the family, not thrown out.

Downsizing or moving into care

We take what won't fit in the new home, and can clear the old one after the move so it's ready to sell.

End of tenancy

For landlords and letting agents: leftover furniture, belongings and rubbish cleared between tenants, with photos sent once it's done.

Hoarded or neglected properties

Heavy, cluttered or long-empty homes. We go room by room, without judgement, and tell you exactly what we found.

Before a sale or renovation

Empty properties photograph better and builders can start straight away.

Partial clearances

Just the loft, garage, spare room or garden. You only pay for what we take.

Every room is left empty and swept. We send photos if you can’t be there.

What happens to the contents

Very little from a house clearance needs to go to landfill. We split everything into a few streams:

  • Reuse: furniture in good condition, kitchenware, books and clothes go to local charity shops and reuse projects where they’ll accept them.
  • Recycling: metal, wood, cardboard, glass and electricals (WEEE) go to the right recycling streams.
  • Specialist disposal: sofas and armchairs must be incinerated under the POPs rules, and fridges need degassing.
  • General waste: only what’s left goes to a licensed transfer station.

One thing to know about donations: charities won’t take sofas, armchairs or mattresses without a fire safety label. Check under the cushions before you plan to donate them.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

It depends on how full the property is, how many floors there are and what’s in it. A one-bedroom flat costs much less than a packed three-bed house with a loft and a garage. Send photos of each room and we’ll give you one fixed price for everything.

Most flats take a few hours. An average three-bedroom house usually takes a single day. Very full or hoarded homes can take two or more days, and we’ll tell you that upfront.

Some do if there’s valuable antique furniture. Most contents have little resale value, so a clearance is normally a cost, not a payment. If you think something is valuable, get it valued before the clearance and we’ll leave it in place.

We take almost everything, including furniture, white goods, clothes, garden waste and general rubbish. We can’t take asbestos, gas bottles, liquid paint or chemicals, but we’ll tell you who can.

No. Many clients are executors or landlords who live elsewhere. Tell us what to keep, give us access, and we’ll send photos when the job’s done.

We set aside anything personal, such as paperwork, bank letters, photos and jewellery, and hand it back to you rather than throwing it away.
