How Much Does a House Clearance Cost?

A complete guide by London Clearance Solutions

If you’re planning a house clearance in London, one of the first questions you’ll likely ask is: how much does a house clearance cost?

The answer depends on several factors, including the size of the property, the volume of items, and the type of waste being removed.

In this guide, we break down average prices, what affects costs, and how to get the best value for money.

Understanding House Clearance Costs in London

House clearance prices vary from job to job. A small flat with minimal furniture will cost far less than a full property clearance involving bulky items, garden waste, or hoarding situations.

Professional clearance companies price jobs based on:

● Time and labour required

● Disposal and recycling fees

● Vehicle size and access

● Specialist waste handling

Average Cost of a House Clearance

Below is a general guide to house clearance costs in London. These prices are estimates and can vary depending on circumstances.

Average House Clearance Prices

2-Bedroom House   £350 – £750

3–4 Bedroom House.    £600 – £1,000+

Smaller jobs such as single-room clearances or partial removals can start from £150, while large or complex clearances may cost more.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a House Clearance?

Several factors influence the final price of a house clearance:

1. Size of the Property 

Larger properties require more time, staff, and vehicle space.

2. Volume of Items

The more furniture, rubbish, and clutter there is, the higher the cost.

3. Type of Waste

Some items cost more to dispose of, including:

Electrical appliances

Mattresses

Paints and chemicals

Construction waste

4. Accessibility

Properties with stairs, no lift access, narrow streets, or parking restrictions may increase labour time.

5. Recycling & Reuse

Items that can be recycled, reused, or donated can sometimes reduce disposal costs.

House Clearance for Probate, Hoarding & End-of-Life Situations

Specialist clearances such as probate clearance, hoarder house clearance, and end-of-life clearances often cost more due to:

● Emotional sensitivity

● Larger volumes of waste

● Additional cleaning requirements

At London Clearance Solutions, we handle these situations with care, discretion, and professionalism.
