House Clearance Guide
Everything you need to know about house clearance in Stockport
Everything You Need to Know
Whether you are clearing a property after a bereavement, preparing for a house sale, dealing with an end-of-tenancy situation, or simply decluttering, house clearance can feel overwhelming. This guide covers everything you need to know about how it works, what happens to your items, and how to choose the right company.
Types of House Clearance
- Full house clearance - the entire property emptied, including loft and garage
- Partial clearance - only specific rooms or items cleared
- Probate clearance - clearing after a death, often before a property sale
- Garage and loft clearance - storage spaces cleared completely and safely
- Hoarder clearance - specialist handling for significant clutter
- End of tenancy clearance - properties cleared quickly for re-letting
How House Clearance Works - Step by Step
1. Free Quote Visit
We visit the property, assess what needs clearing, and give you a clear, no-obligation price.
2. Booking
You confirm the quote and we arrange a convenient date for the clearance.
3. Pre-Clearance Check
You remove any valuables, documents, or items you want to keep. We discuss any specific instructions.
4. The Clearance
Our team works through the property systematically, room by room. We sort items for recycling, donation, and disposal as we go.
5. Clean-Up
We leave the property swept and tidy, ready for its next chapter.
6. Documentation
We provide waste transfer notes confirming legal disposal of all items.
What Happens to Items During Clearance?
- Charity donation - usable furniture, clothing, kitchenware go to local charity shops
- Recycling - metal, wood, cardboard, paper, glass, and electronics processed at licensed facilities
- Responsible disposal - only genuine non-recyclable waste goes to licensed disposal facilities
Preparing for a House Clearance
- Label items - sticky notes on items staying vs going helps avoid confusion
- Provide access - make sure we can get into the property and there is parking for our van
- Tell us about anything unusual - pianos, safes, asbestos, or very heavy items need specialist handling
- Check for valuables - make sure you have removed jewellery, cash, and important documents
