Before & After Gallery — Real Cardiff & Newport Clearance Jobs

Every photo here is a clearance job we’ve actually done across Cardiff, Newport and the surrounding areas of South Wales. Use the toggle on each one to switch between how we found the waste and how we left the space afterwards.

We photograph almost every job before we start and after we finish — not because we have to, but because it’s the best way to show you the standard of work we deliver. The same spot, the same angle, usually less than an hour apart. No staging, no tidying up before the “before” shot — just the honest state we found it in, and the clean result we left behind.

Scroll through the gallery and you’ll see house clearances, garden waste, fly-tip cleanups and single-item collections. Every single one was a real customer job, from the initial WhatsApp photo to the load going over the weighbridge. If you’ve got a clearance of your own in mind, the photos here will give you a fair idea of what we can do — and what you can expect when we turn up.

Before & after

How we found it, and how we left it

Same spot, same angle, usually less than an hour apart. Each job below is a real clearance from Cardiff, Newport or the surrounding areas — photographed the moment we arrived and again before we drove off.

We run a two-man crew with a 16 cubic yard van, which is roughly 1.5× the size of most waste vans. That’s why so many of these clearances fit in a single visit: one van, one price, one trip to the tip. Every job gets a proper waste transfer note and the vast majority of each load is recycled or recovered rather than sent to landfill.

If you’d like to see more examples, we post regularly on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and full reviews with photos are on our Checkatrade profile.
