Current House Clearance Guide Prices
| Load guide | Suitable light/mixed household waste | Included loading labour |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum / around 2 yd³ | £120 + VAT | Up to 1 hour |
| Quarter / around 4 yd³ | £180 + VAT | Up to 2 hours |

These are guide prices for suitable light and mixed household clearance loads. Dense construction material and certain chargeable items are assessed separately. See the full house clearance cost guide and property-size pricing guide.
If the property contains antiques, collectables or other valuable items, tell us before the clearance. Where appropriate and agreed, London Waste Van can purchase selected items or agree a value offset against the clearance cost. The estimator does not deduct a value automatically because items need to be assessed first.
Antiques & Valuable Items
If a parking permit or visitor authorisation is needed, it must be arranged for the vehicle. Parking charge notices/tickets incurred at the parking position required for the clearance are recharged to the customer under the booking terms.
Saturday and Sunday clearances: add £200 + VAT to the normal price. Clearances starting after 5pm: add £200 + VAT. If both apply, both surcharges apply.

Send My Estimate & PhotosHouse Clearance Estimate Versus Confirmed Price
An estimator is useful for planning, but it cannot see inside the property. The confirmed quote should reflect what is actually shown and agreed. If the clearance changes significantly after quoting — for example a full loft or garage is added — the scope may need to be re-priced before loading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the house clearance estimator a fixed quote?
No. It is a planning estimate based on the load size you select. The final price is confirmed from photos or video, access, loading distance and any specialist items.
How accurate is a house clearance quote from photos?
Photos are useful, but a slow video walkthrough showing every room, cupboards, loft, garden, garage and access is usually even better for judging volume.
Why does the estimator use van space rather than bedrooms?
A one-bedroom flat can contain more waste than a lightly furnished three-bedroom house. The amount being removed is usually a better pricing guide than bedroom count alone.
What are London Waste Van house clearance guide prices?
For suitable light and mixed household waste, guide load prices are minimum £120 + VAT, quarter £180 + VAT, half £270 + VAT, three-quarter £380 + VAT and full 13–18 yard cage load £450 + VAT.
Do sofas, mattresses and fridges affect the price?
Yes. The calculator now adds the published specialist-item charges for mattresses, sofas by size, fridges/freezers, tyres, paint pots and gas bottles. Any unusual item not listed should still be shown in photos before booking.
Can I estimate a full house clearance online?
Yes for an initial planning figure, but a full property often needs a video walkthrough because garages, lofts, gardens and multiple loads can change the job substantially.
Does the quote include labour?
Yes. Minimum loads include up to 1 hour, quarter loads 2 hours, half loads 2 hours, three-quarter loads 3 hours and full loads 4 hours of loading labour. Two-person crew and overtime rules apply where required.
Can you quote a London flat with stairs or a lift?
Yes. Flats without a lift require two people from half-load upward, adding £150 + VAT for the additional labourer. Tell us the floor, lift status, concierge rules and parking position.
Can I send the estimator result with my photos?
Yes. Use the form on this page after calculating; the selected load and access can be sent with your photos and notes.
Do you offer same-day house clearance?
Same-day collection may be possible subject to route and capacity. Saturday/Sunday clearances add £200 + VAT, and clearances starting after 5pm add £200 + VAT on top of the normal price.

Small flat or partial clearance: if you are removing a bed, wardrobe, boxes and a few bulky items, start with the minimum or quarter-load options rather than choosing the property size. Several furnished rooms: a half or three-quarter load may be a better planning point, but send a video because stacked bags and cupboards can add volume quickly. Full property: select a full load only if the contents genuinely look like one cage load; a packed house, loft and garage may need more than one vehicle load.
Why Access Can Change A House Clearance Quote
The disposal volume may be identical but the labour can be very different. A driveway-level house with the van beside the front door is not the same job as a fourth-floor mansion block with a booked service lift, concierge instructions and a long carry to the loading bay. The estimator flags access because it is one of the details most likely to turn an apparently simple quote into a longer clearance.
Use The Estimate To Budget, Not To Hide Extra Items
The fastest route to a reliable price is to show the whole job. If a loft, garage or shed is part of the clearance, include it in the video. A clear scope makes it much easier to hold the confirmed price and schedule the right capacity.
