Clearances
House, end-of-tenancy and probate clearances by a registered waste carrier, with anything reusable donated rather than tipped.
A clearance is a different job from a removal. Nothing is going to a new home at the other end, which means every item needs a decision — keep, donate, recycle, dispose — and somebody has to be legally responsible for where the rest of it ends up.
That last part matters more than most people realise. If waste from your property is fly-tipped, the liability can come back to you as the person who handed it over. It does not matter that you paid someone to take it away. Our waste carrier registration is CBDU574812, held by Nabosh Logistics Ltd, and you can check it yourself on the Environment Agency's public register. Always ask for a registration number before letting anyone clear your property — and if they cannot give you one, do not use them.
Anything with life left in it is donated where we can find a home for it. The rest goes to a commercial disposal centre for proper processing. Nothing gets fly-tipped, and we are happy for you to see where it went.
Who this is for
- Full house clearances, including lofts, garages and sheds
- End-of-tenancy clearances before a property is handed back
- Probate and bereavement clearances, worked at whatever pace suits
- Commercial units being emptied at the end of a lease
What's included
- A registered waste carrier
- Registration CBDU574812, held by Nabosh Logistics Ltd, verifiable on the Environment Agency public register. Ask us for it in writing and we will send it.
- Donation before disposal
- Anything with life left in it is donated where we can find it a home. Disposal is what happens to the remainder, not the default for everything.
- Proper processing for the rest
- What cannot be reused goes to a commercial disposal centre. Nothing gets fly-tipped, and the liability that comes with fly-tipping never lands back on you.
- Whole-property clearance
- Loft, garage, shed and outbuildings included, not just the rooms you can walk into. These are usually where the volume actually is.
- The same care on a probate job
- Sorting is done at your pace, and anything you want set aside is set aside rather than cleared with everything else.
Worth knowing before you book
The things that most often change a job on the day. We would rather they were on this page than a conversation on your doorstep.
- Clearances are priced by volume, so we cannot quote one without seeing the property. Send photos or a video of every room plus the loft, garage and shed — this survey is essential, not optional.
- The prohibited list still applies: no gas cylinders, fuels, corrosive or toxic chemicals, explosives or fireworks. These need specialist haulage licensing and have to be taken to a recycling centre separately.
- Check for anything of value or of personal significance before we start — probate clearances in particular have a way of turning up documents and photographs in places nobody expected.
- Firearms and ammunition must never be packed in an unmarked box. Speak to us and to your police firearms licensing department well ahead of the clearance.
Clearances questions
Ask for the waste carrier registration number and check it. Ours is CBDU574812, held by Nabosh Logistics Ltd, and it is on the Environment Agency's public register for anyone to look up. This is worth doing with any firm you consider, not just us — if waste from your property is fly-tipped, the liability can come back to you as the person who handed it over.
Anything with life left in it is donated where we can find a home for it. The rest goes to a commercial disposal centre for proper processing. Nothing gets fly-tipped, and if you want to know where a particular item ended up, ask us.
Clearances are priced by volume, so we need to see the property before quoting. Send photos or a video of every room and of the loft, garage and shed — that survey is essential and we genuinely cannot price a clearance without it. Guessing would only produce a number that changes on the day.
Yes, and it is a large part of the clearance work we do. Sorting happens at whatever pace suits you, anything you want set aside is set aside before anything else moves, and we will work around family members who want to be there. Tell us what matters and we will work to it.
Where we do this
We work across the North East from a base in County Durham, and we take long-distance moves anywhere in mainland Britain.
Other things we do
- Home removalsFull house and flat moves across the North East and nationwide — packed, carried, and put back together in the right rooms at the other end.
- Business removalsOffice and commercial moves worked around your trading hours, so the disruption lands on a Sunday evening rather than a Monday morning.
- PackingWe pack before the move, with all materials included in the quoted price — and anything we pack is our responsibility.
- StorageContainerised, secure storage arranged for a few days or several months — including same-day, when a completion falls through at the worst moment.
- Single items & small loadsOne sofa, one marketplace collection, one thing that will not go in the car — priced by the hour, because a small job should not cost like a house move.
