We're a licensed waste carrier based in Stockport, and same-day or next-day slots are often available.
Types of house clearance we do
Every clearance starts with a different story. Someone is selling up, a parent is moving into care, a tenant has left more behind than expected, or a loft hasn't been opened in twenty years. We shape the job around what you need rather than squeezing you into a package.
Full house clearances
Every room emptied, from the loft down to the cellar, ready for a sale, a new tenant or a refurbishment.
Part clearances
Just the rooms you need cleared. A spare bedroom, a back room full of boxes, or the furniture that isn't coming to the new house.
Loft, garage and shed clearances
Years of storage brought down safely and taken away, including old tools, paint-free timber, bikes and garden furniture.
End of tenancy clearances
For landlords and letting agents who need a property emptied before inventory or a new check-in.
Probate clearances
Careful clearances for executors and families, with personal items set aside.
Probate house clearanceDownsizing and moving house
We take what isn't going with you, so moving day is about the things you want to keep.
Hoarded properties
Methodical, respectful and discreet, with no judgement and a realistic plan for how long it will take.

Get a fixed quote
We come back with a fixed price for your clearance. No obligation, and no figure that grows on the day.
Book a slot
Same-day or next-day is often available. We work 07:00 to 19:00, seven days a week, so weekends are fine too.
We clear and sweep
Our team does all the lifting and loading, then sweeps through so the property is left tidy.
What's included
When we quote a clearance, the price covers the whole job. You won't be asked to carry boxes to the front door or drag a wardrobe down the stairs.
- All lifting, carrying and loading by our team, including lofts, cellars and upper floors
- Dismantling bulky furniture where it won't fit through a doorway in one piece
- Items you want kept set aside safely, so nothing goes by mistake
- Paperwork, photos and personal items we come across put to one side for you
- A sweep through once the rooms are empty, so the property is left tidy
- Sorting for reuse and recycling, and a Waste Transfer Note where the job needs one
Reuse and recycling first
A house usually holds far more that can be saved than people expect. Furniture and household goods in decent condition are set aside for reuse where possible. Metal, wood, cardboard and electricals are separated for recycling. Only what genuinely can't be recovered goes for disposal.
We're a licensed waste carrier, registration number CBDU607219, and where a job needs a Waste Transfer Note you'll get one. That matters: if waste from your property is fly-tipped by an unlicensed collector, it can be traced back to you. Using a licensed carrier protects you.
What affects the price
We don't publish a price list for house clearances, because two three-bed semis on the same street can hold completely different amounts. Every quote is specific to your job. These are the things that make the difference:
- Volume: how much there is to take, which is the biggest factor by far
- Access: how easy it is to get items out, and how far the van is from the door
- Stairs: upper floors, lofts and cellars take longer than ground floor rooms
- Parking: whether we can park close by or need to carry items further
- Item types: heavy or awkward pieces, fridges, freezers, mattresses and sofas
The quickest way to a price is to send photos on WhatsApp, or try our instant quote calculator for a guide figure. If the number doesn't look right for what you have, send us a photo or video and we'll check it for you.
A local team, based in Stockport
We're based in Stockport and work across the whole borough every week. That means we know the narrow terraced streets where parking takes a bit of planning, the flats with shared stairwells, and the bigger family homes where the loft and garage are often the biggest part of the job.
We work 07:00 to 19:00, seven days a week. If you need a clearance done on a Saturday because that's when the family can be there, or early on a weekday before the estate agent arrives, just tell us when you book.
If you'd like to know more before booking, our step-by-step guide explains what to expect from a house clearance, and you can also read about our garage clearances.
Who we clear houses for
Most of our house clearance work in Stockport comes from a handful of situations, and each one needs a slightly different approach.
Families and executors
Clearing a loved one's home is hard enough without worrying about the practical side. We go at your pace, keep anything personal aside, and can work without you being there if that's easier.
Homeowners selling up
Estate agents and buyers want an empty, tidy property. We clear what isn't moving with you, so viewings and completion day go smoothly.
Landlords and letting agents
Tenants sometimes leave furniture, bags and white goods behind. We turn properties round quickly so the next tenancy can start on time.
People downsizing
Moving from a family home to somewhere smaller usually means letting go of a lot. We take the surplus away and set aside anything worth reusing.
Before the day: a few tips
You don't need to do any preparation, but a few small things help the clearance go even more smoothly.
- Decide what's staying and mark it clearly, or put it in one room we can leave alone
- Look through drawers and cupboards for documents, keys and small valuables if you can
- Let us know about lofts, cellars, sheds and garages when you send photos, so nothing is missed in the quote
- Tell us about parking, permits or narrow access so we can plan where the van goes
- If a fridge or freezer is going, switch it off and let it defrost the day before
- If you won't be there, arrange how we'll get the keys and who we should call on the day
Not sure about something? Call us on 07563 865159 between 07:00 and 19:00, any day of the week, and we'll talk it through.
Moving house or downsizing in Stockport
Moving is busy enough without a garage, loft and spare room full of things that aren't coming with you. We clear what's staying behind, so you only pack what you want to keep. If your sale has a completion date, tell us and we'll book the clearance ahead of it.
Downsizing often happens in stages. You might want the spare rooms cleared before the move and the rest afterwards. We can split the job across visits, and we'll set aside anything you've marked for family, for the new home or for reuse.
Landlords and letting agents
End of tenancy clearances usually come with a deadline, whether that's an inventory check or a new tenant moving in. Tell us the date and we'll work to it. Same-day or next-day slots are often available across Stockport.
You don't need to be there. We can collect keys from your office or a key safe, clear the property, and return the keys afterwards. If you'd like photos of the empty rooms once we've finished, just ask and we'll send them over. You'll also get a Waste Transfer Note where the job needs one.

Why use a licensed clearance team
It's tempting to accept the cheapest offer from a social media post, but a house clearance produces a lot of waste, and the person who owns that waste stays responsible for where it ends up. If an unlicensed collector dumps it in a lay-by, the trail can lead back to the property it came from.
Using a registered carrier means your waste goes to the right places, and you have the paperwork to show it. You can check any carrier's registration on the public register, and ours is CBDU607219. Ask anyone you're thinking of using for their number before you book.
Beyond the paperwork, it's about doing the job properly: turning up when we say we will, protecting floors and doorways, being careful on stairs, and leaving the property in a state you're happy to hand over.
