House clearance Cardiff
House clearance in Cardiff — full, partial or probate
Whole properties or a single room, cleared quietly and swept through before we leave. Probate, end-of-tenancy, downsizing and hoarded homes — one flat price, from £160.
House clearance in Cardiff, done properly
Most of the house clearances we do in Cardiff fall into one of three situations: someone has died and the family needs the property emptied, a tenancy has ended and the landlord needs it back, or someone is downsizing after thirty years in the same house. All three are easier when you are not also hiring a skip and filling it yourself.
Two of us turn up and we do all the lifting. Beds and wardrobes are dismantled on the spot. Nothing needs dragging to the kerb first — that is what you are paying us for. Everything goes to a licensed transfer station, and we will send you the waste transfer note if you want it for your records.

Prices
What a house clearance costs in Cardiff
Priced by how much of the van it fills — not by the hour, and not by weight. Our vans hold 16 cubic yards, about 1.5× a tipper, so a clearance that would be two loads elsewhere is often one load with us.
Quarter van
£160 loaded & swept
A single room or a small flat
Half van
£290 loaded & swept
A one or two-bed flat, or a garage
Full van
£450 loaded & swept
A house, or the bulk of one
Probate, bereavement and hoarded properties
Clearing a person’s house after they have died is not a normal job and we do not treat it like one. We work through room by room, we put anything that looks like paperwork, photographs or jewellery to one side rather than binning it, and we stop and ask if we are unsure about something. Many of our clearances come through Cardiff solicitors and estate agents acting for executors, and we are used to invoicing an estate or a firm rather than an individual.
For hoarded or heavily cluttered properties we work at your pace: a series of visits if that is easier, with the same two people each time so nothing gets lost or overlooked. You can be on-site throughout, or leave us to it with a key-holder arrangement.
For letting agents and landlords, we can work to a deadline between tenancies, handle keys whichever way suits, and invoice monthly rather than take payment on the day if you use us regularly.
If you are clearing a property for sale or to let, we can also arrange a same-day trip to your local Cardiff charity shop for anything worth donating — furniture in good condition, books, clothes — so usable items go to someone who needs them rather than to landfill. Everything else is separated at the yard and the paperwork (waste transfer notes) is kept on file for a minimum of two years, ready for solicitors, executors or HMRC should they ever ask.
The four things we will not do
Being licensed and insured is the legal minimum. The way we actually work is the difference you will notice:
- We will not quote one price and send a bigger bill on the day — the price is agreed upfront on a photo or a visit, and you pay only once the van is loaded and you are happy.
- We will not take your waste and tip it anywhere unlicensed — you get a transfer note from a licensed facility every time.
- We will not disappear with items that matter — paperwork, photographs, jewellery and valuables are set aside and pointed out to you before anything leaves the house.
- We will not leave the place worse than we found it — we sweep through the cleared rooms before we close the door.
If any of that sounds like it should be standard, it should — but check anyone you are comparing us with can say the same in writing.
House clearance across Cardiff’s suburbs
We clear houses all over Cardiff and the surrounding areas — from the terraces of Canton and Gabalfa to the bigger family homes of Rhiwbina and Whitchurch, the student lets of Cathays and Roath, and the retirement flats of Penylan and Pontcanna. Wherever the property is, the service is the same: a flat price agreed before we start, all the lifting done by us, and the place swept through before we leave.
Landlords with portfolios across the city use us for end-of-tenancy clearances at short notice; solicitors and executors use us for probate properties in every Cardiff postcode, from CF10 city-centre flats to CF14 and CF15 houses. If you are not sure whether we cover your road, ask — the answer is almost always yes.

Questions
Common questions, straight answers
How much does a house clearance cost in Cardiff?
Priced by how much of the van it fills: a single room is usually a quarter load at £160, a one or two-bed flat a half load at £290, and a full house a full 16-cubic-yard van at £450. The price we quote is the price you pay, once the van is loaded and the job is done.
Do you clear hoarded or cluttered properties?
Yes. We work room by room, at your pace, and we never judge. Anything that looks like paperwork, photographs or valuables is set aside rather than binned, and we ask whenever we are unsure about an item.
Can you help after a bereavement, for probate?
That is a large part of what we do. Executors and solicitors often need a property emptied before it can be valued or sold; we handle it quietly, invoice the estate or the solicitor, and supply a waste transfer note for the file.
How quickly can you clear a house in Cardiff?
Same day where we can, especially in Cardiff, otherwise next day with a morning or afternoon window. A full house clearance is usually done in one visit with our 16-cubic-yard vans.
Do you take everything, including furniture and white goods?
Yes — beds, wardrobes, sofas, fridges (collected separately), washing machines, carpets, paperwork and general rubbish. The only things we cannot take are asbestos and any legally-controlled waste; we will tell you upfront if something needs specialist removal.
