Friendly, professional and quick service! Tom and Barry were great calling me half an hour before arriving, and observed all social distancing regulations etc, and Richard was very helpful on the phone fitting me in same day. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.
GraceyAbsolutely brilliant! The two lads were quick and efficient with big smiles on their faces, despite the cold. Twenty four hours from the initial enquiry, the job was completed. That’s proper service.
GrahamThey did an excellent job and cleared my Mums flat quickly. I would recommend them to everyone and I would use them again. My mum had recently passed away so it was a difficult time but they were also understanding of the circumstances.

Our Process
We have also refined our process to be as smooth as possible, ensuring we leave your property ready for the market.
1. Assessment: We offer a free on-site quotation or a video walk-through to assess the volume. Give us a call or fill in our contact form. Additionally, you can WhatsApp a photo of the rooms to 07802 860 731.
2. The Clear: Our uniformed, two-man teams arrive in Lancaster in tracked vehicles. Subsequently, we work systematically from room to room, handling all heavy lifting and navigating tight staircases in student blocks or townhouses safely.
3. The Clean: Once the items are removed, we also sweep the property through, leaving it “Vacant & Broom Clean,” perfect for estate agent viewings or new tenants.
4. Ethics: We operate a strict landfill diversion policy. Therefore, items are donated to charity where possible and the remainder is taken to a licensed recycling centre.
Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide
We offer transparent pricing based on volume. You only pay for the space you fill, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air.
• Single Item: Prices start from £80+VAT. Ideal for a standalone bulky item like a fridge, sofa or wardrobe.
• Quarter Van Load: Roughly 20-30 bin bags. Great for clearing out a box room or under-stairs cupboard.
• Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards. Comparable capacity to a standard builders skip (6-yarder), but with no permit fees.
• Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. A large capacity equivalent to roughly 2 standard 8-yard skips. Perfect for full house clearances.

Recent Jobs in Lancaster
• Heritage Property Clearance in City Centre: We cleared a four-storey Georgian townhouse on a cobbled street. Because we employed our “Wait & Load” service, we avoided the need for a skip permit in a restricted access zone, carefully removing antique furniture and carpets.
• Student Accommodation Clearance near Salt Ayre: During the busy summer changeover, we cleared three flats of left-behind furniture and bedding. Moreover, we bypassed the long queues at the Salt Ayre tip by using our commercial recycling partners, ensuring the landlord could re-let the property immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be present during the clearance?
No. We offer a trusted Key Holder Service. Therefore, we can collect keys from your estate agent or a key safe, carry out the work and keep you updated with photos and calls. This is particularly useful if you live outside of Lancashire.
Do you separate valuables/antiques?
Yes. We do not just “smash and grab.” If we find personal photos, legal documents or items that appear to have significant value during the clear, we set them aside and consult you immediately.
Can you clear extremely cluttered or hoarding properties?
Yes. Our team is trained to handle sensitive hoarding cases with respect and empathy. Therefore, we work at your pace and ensure the property is returned to a safe, habitable standard.
How quickly can you clear a property in Lancaster?
We often offer same-day or next-day service. This is a major advantage over the council’s bulk collection, which can be overwhelmed during student “changeover” weeks. Therefore, for landlords in student areas like Bowerham, our speed ensures you don’t lose rental income.
Do you donate items to charities in Lancaster?
Yes. We always prioritise reuse. Therefore, good quality furniture and household goods are diverted to local charities and community groups, reducing the environmental impact and keeping waste out of the Salt Ayre tip.
I don’t live in Lancaster, can you clear my relative’s house?
Yes. We frequently work with families who live elsewhere. We handle the logistics locally, liaise with your solicitor or agent and provide full digital paperwork, including your Waste Transfer Note, via email.
