One request, a clearer way to arrange your clearance
Clearance jobs vary. A few unwanted items, a flat with several flights of stairs and a full house with a garage need different amounts of time, labour and vehicle space. A useful quote needs to reflect those details.
houseclearance.co gives you a place to explain the job and request a quote without having to commit to a booking first. Carriers who receive your request may ask you for photographs, access information or other details needed to prepare an accurate quote.
Where more than one quote is available, you can compare what each includes. The number of responses and available collection dates depend on the job, location and provider availability. You are free to decide whether any quote meets your needs.
How it works
1. Tell us what needs clearing
Share your postcode, a description of the items or rooms, and your preferred timing. Mention stairs, lift access, parking restrictions and anything unusually heavy or difficult to remove. Photographs can help explain the amount of material involved.
2. Review the response and quotation
Interested licensed carriers send you their own quotes, and you choose whether to accept one. Before accepting a quote, check the items covered, labour, collection arrangements, disposal charges and any additional costs that apply. Ask for clarification if something is unclear.
3. Choose whether to book
You decide whether to proceed once the price and arrangements are clear. Submitting a request does not make a booking, and you are not obliged to accept a quote.
A platform connecting customers with clearance providers
houseclearance.co helps customers request and compare quotes. The clearance itself is carried out by the provider you agree to use. The provider's identity, the agreed scope of work, price and collection arrangements should be clear before you book.
This distinction matters: an indicative price guide is not a provider's quotation, and submitting an enquiry is not confirmation that a vehicle or team has been reserved. Check the agreed details before making arrangements for clearance day.
Pricing you can understand
Our pricing pages give indicative ranges to help you plan and assess a quote. Your actual price depends on the amount and type of material, access, handling requirements and the work agreed with the provider.
Compare the full scope rather than the headline figure alone. Check whether labour, loading, disposal, any item-specific charges and applicable VAT are included. A lower starting price is not necessarily a lower total price if important parts of the job are excluded.

Responsible disposal and checking your provider
Knowing who will collect your waste is part of choosing a clearance service. Ask for the provider's business name and waste carrier registration details, and check the relevant entry on the Environment Agency's public register.
Registration is one part of the checks you can make. You can also ask what the quotation includes, how relevant waste types will be handled and what collection or disposal records will be available for your job.
Our carrier-checking guide explains how to use the official register and which details to compare. It does not replace the Environment Agency's own records.
Practical information to help you decide
Alongside quote requests, houseclearance.co publishes information about clearance costs, preparation, access and choosing a provider. Our published case studies explain individual jobs using the records and photographs available for those jobs. Their prices describe those specific clearances and are not guaranteed prices for a new request.
Service and local coverage pages help you find information relevant to your situation. Availability is confirmed for the individual enquiry rather than guaranteed by a postcode appearing on the website.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about what houseclearance.co is and how it works.
Does houseclearance.co carry out the clearance itself?
No. houseclearance.co is a platform for requesting and comparing clearance quotes. The clearance itself is carried out by the independent, licensed provider you choose to book, not by houseclearance.co.
Am I obliged to book once I submit a request?
No. Submitting a request does not make a booking. You can review whatever quotes come in and decide whether any of them meets your needs before choosing to proceed.
Why might I get more than one quote?
Where more than one provider is available for a job, you can receive and compare multiple quotes. The number of responses and the collection dates on offer depend on the job, its location and provider availability.
Are the prices on your site guaranteed for my job?
No. Pricing pages give indicative ranges to help you plan and assess a quote, and published case studies describe the actual prices for those specific past jobs. Your own price depends on the amount and type of material, access and the work agreed with the provider you choose.
How do I check who will actually collect my waste?
Ask the provider for its business name and waste carrier registration details, then check the relevant entry on the Environment Agency's public register. Our carrier-checking guide explains how to use the register and which details to compare.
