How does a house clearance work?
The process is simple: you tell us what needs to go, we give you a fixed price, and CL Clearances clears it on the agreed day — usually in a single visit.
- Tell us what needs removing — use the form, call, or send photos by WhatsApp.
- Get a fixed written quote — based on the volume, the access and the type of waste.
- We sort and clear it — Charlotte loads and removes everything, setting aside anything reusable for local charity and metals and electricals for recycling.
- We leave it ready to use — the rooms are swept and the property is left empty, ready for sale, re-let or handover.
- You get a Waste Transfer Note — the legal record of who took the waste and where it went.
No hard sell — just a reliable service and a clear price.
How can you check a clearance company is licensed?
Ask for its waste carrier licence number and look it up on the Environment Agency public register. Ours is CBDU291452. If you hand waste to an unlicensed operator and it is fly-tipped, you can be fined — the government’s duty of care guidance for householders explains why. The duty comes from section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which makes anyone passing on waste responsible for checking that the person taking it is authorised.
