House Clearance
Complete property clearance — sensitive, responsible, and thorough
Full and partial property clearances across the UK. Probate, landlord, and end-of-tenancy clearance. Items recycled or donated wherever possible. Fixed-price quotes after a free survey.
What Is a House Clearance?
A house clearance is the removal of furniture, belongings, appliances, and waste from a property — typically when it is being sold, re-let, or after a bereavement. It is more than just a large-scale rubbish removal: a professional clearance involves sorting items for recycling, donation, and responsible disposal.
When a House Clearance Is Needed
- After a bereavement — clearing a loved one's property
- Before selling a property — presenting it empty and clean
- Between tenancies — clearing abandoned furniture and belongings
- When downsizing — removing excess furniture and clutter
- Before renovation — clearing rooms for building work
- When a property has been inherited and needs emptying
What Makes Our Clearance Different
We do not just throw everything into a skip. Items in good condition are donated to local charity shops. Recyclable materials — wood, metal, cardboard, electronics — are separated and sent to licensed recycling facilities. Only items that genuinely cannot be reused or recycled go to landfill.
For probate clearances, we are particularly careful. Important documents are set aside for family review. Items of potential value — jewellery, antiques, collectables — are identified and separated. You get a fixed-price quote after a free survey so you know exactly what the clearance will cost.
House Clearance Services
Four types of clearance — from full property empties to specific room and item removal.
Full House Clearance
Complete property clearance — everything removed
A full clearance of an entire property — from furniture and appliances to carpets, curtains, and loft contents. We clear every room, outbuilding, and outdoor area. The property is left clean, empty, and ready for sale, rent, or handover.
- Every room cleared — including loft, garage, and shed
- Furniture, appliances, carpets, and fittings removed
- Property left clean and empty — ready for the next stage
- Fixed-price quote after a free property survey
Probate & Bereavement Clearance
Sensitive, respectful clearance when you need it most
Clearing a loved one's property is difficult. We handle the clearance with sensitivity and respect. Important documents are set aside. Items with value are identified. The property is cleared efficiently so you have one less thing to worry about.
- Sensitive, respectful service throughout
- Important documents set aside for family review
- Valuable items identified and separated if required
- Charitable donations arranged for suitable items
Landlord & End-of-Tenancy Clearance
Fast turnaround between tenants
Tenants moved out and left items behind? Need a property cleared quickly before the next tenancy starts? We clear furniture, belongings, and waste — leaving the property ready for cleaning, redecoration, or immediate re-letting.
- Fast turnaround — often within 48 hours
- Furniture, abandoned belongings, and waste removed
- Property ready for cleaning or redecoration
- Fixed-price quote with no hidden charges
Partial Clearance
Specific rooms, items, or areas cleared
Do not need the whole property cleared? We can clear specific rooms, remove individual items of furniture, clear a garage or loft, or take away general waste and clutter. You only pay for what needs doing.
- Specific rooms or areas cleared
- Individual furniture and appliance removal
- Garage, loft, and outbuilding clearance
- General waste and clutter removal
What Happens to Cleared Items
We do not just take everything to landfill. Here is what happens to the items we clear.
Recycled
Cardboard, wood, metal, plastics, and electronics are separated and sent to licensed recycling facilities. We minimise what goes to landfill.
Donated to Charity
Furniture, clothing, books, and household items in good condition are donated to local charity shops and community organisations wherever possible.
Responsibly Disposed
Items that cannot be recycled or donated are disposed of at licensed waste transfer stations in compliance with all environmental regulations.
Valuables Identified
During probate and full clearances, we watch for items of potential value — jewellery, antiques, collectables — and set them aside for family review.

How a House Clearance Works
Four clear steps — from free survey to a clean, empty property ready for its next chapter.
Free Property Survey
We visit the property — or do a video call — to assess what needs clearing and provide a fixed-price quote.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We assess every room, the loft, garage, and any outbuildings. You receive a clear, itemised fixed price — usually on the same day.
Schedule the Clearance
Choose a date that works for you. We confirm the schedule and crew size needed for the job.
Most clearances can be completed in one to two days. We can often start within 48–72 hours. For probate clearances, we work at a pace that suits the family.
The Clearance
Our team arrives, clears every agreed area, and separates items for recycling, donation, and disposal.
Furniture is carried out carefully — no dragging, no damage to walls or doorframes. Items for charity are loaded separately. Important documents are set aside. The property is cleared systematically.
Clean & Complete
The property is left clean, empty, and ready for its next chapter. You receive disposal documentation if required.
We sweep through after the clearance. You get a waste transfer note for your records. If items have been donated to charity, we can tell you where they went.
What Our Clearance Customers Say
Real feedback from people who trusted us to clear their properties.
“Clearing my mother's house after she passed was something I had been putting off. The Vano team were incredibly respectful and kind. They set aside family photos and documents, donated the furniture to a local charity, and left the house clean and empty in two days. I cannot recommend them enough.”
“Tenants left our rental property in a terrible state — furniture, rubbish, even food in the fridge. Vano cleared everything within 48 hours of my call. The property was ready for the cleaners the next day and we had new tenants moving in within two weeks.”
“We needed a full house clearance before selling my father's property. Fixed-price quote after a quick visit, team arrived on time, cleared the entire house including the loft and garage in a day. They even found some jewellery we had been looking for and set it aside.”
