House Clearance Cost: 2026 Price Guide

House clearance cost depends on how much there is to clear and how easy it is to access. This guide gives realistic 2026 prices and explains what is — and is not — included.

Typical clearance costs

Most house clearances run £300–£600, with small part clearances (a room or garage) from around £150 and large full-house jobs above £1,000. Volume and access are the main drivers.

What affects the price

The amount and type of items, stairs and access, how much can be donated or recycled versus disposed of, and your location all affect the cost. Hoarded or heavily furnished properties cost more.

What to check before booking

Always use a licensed waste carrier — it is a legal requirement and protects you from fly-tipping liability. Ask for a waste transfer note, and check whether reusable items will be donated.

Probate and end-of-tenancy clearances

Probate clearances need care and discretion and can work to executors’ timescales. End-of-tenancy clearances for landlords are usually quick, fixed-price jobs with a broom-clean finish.
