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.
ChristineProviding professional House Clearance in Oldham, The Rubbish Removers Ltd offers a compassionate, full-service solution for solicitors, landlords and families facing difficult property transitions. Whether you are managing a probate estate in the stone villages of Saddleworth or clearing a rental apartment in a town centre mill conversion, we handle the heavy lifting and logistics so you don’t have to. As a family-run business with over 20 years of experience, we are also fully licensed (CBDU409710) and proudly hold Which? Trusted Trader status. Moreover, as members of the Trading Standards “Buy with Confidence” scheme, we ensure your property is cleared legally, ethically and efficiently.

We understand that clearing a home often happens during sensitive times, which is why we offer a seamless alternative to the struggles of hiring skips on Oldham’s steep terraced streets or navigating the strict entry policies at the Arkwright Street tip. Moreover, our uniformed teams cover the entire borough, from Royton to Uppermill, providing instant Waste Transfer Notes and ensuring 95% of items are diverted from landfill. Call our dedicated North West office today on 0161 339 7938. Additionally, you can reach us via WhatsApp on 07802 860 731 for a fast, free quote.
• Compassionate Service: We employ trained specialists who understand the sensitive nature of clearing a home after a bereavement or when moving an older relative into care. We are respectful, discreet and patient, treating every property with the dignity it deserves.
• We Handle Everything: Unlike the council’s bulky collection which is strictly pavement only, we clear items from anywhere on the property. Moreover, this is essential for the many “two-up, two-down” terraces in Oldham where moving furniture from cellars or lofts can be physically dangerous for residents.
• Asset Management: We don’t just throw everything away. Our team actively looks for personal documents, photographs and valuables during the clearance, setting them aside safely to ensure nothing precious is lost in the process.
• Key Holder Service: If you live outside the area or cannot be present, we can collect keys from local estate agents or neighbours. We are also fully insured and trusted by local solicitors to work independently, sending you photo updates upon completion.

Our service is comprehensive. Therefore, we take almost everything required to get a property ready for sale or letting:

1. Assessment: Contact us for a free on-site quotation or conduct a video walk-through via WhatsApp, simply send photos to 07802 860 731 or call 0161 339 7938.
2. The Clear: Our uniformed, professional team arrives in Oldham in a tracked vehicle and subsequently clears the property systematically, room-by-room.
3. The Clean: Once empty, we also sweep the property through, leaving it “Vacant & Broom Clean,” ready for immediate viewing by estate agents or buyers.
4. Ethics: We segregate items on the van; usable furniture is donated to charity where possible, while the remainder is taken to a licensed Recycling Centre for processing.
We operate a transparent pricing model based on weight as well as volume. You only pay for the space your items fill in our van, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air.
– Single Item: Perfect for removing a specific large appliance or piece of furniture (e.g. a fridge or wardrobe).
– Quarter Van Load: Ideal for clearing a box room, a small shed or a pile of bags.
– Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards (approx. 50-60 bin bags). Comparable to a standard builders skip but without the permit fees or driveway damage.
– Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. This large capacity is equivalent to two standard 8-yard skips and is suitable for full house clearances.

• Probate Clearance in Saddleworth: We cleared a stone cottage in Uppermill located on a narrow, winding lane. A standard skip wagon could not access the property, but our agile vans were able to reverse up the drive for a swift removal.
• Apartment Clearance in Town Centre: A landlord needed a full clear-out of a third-floor mill conversion apartment. Because we used a “Wait & Load” service to clear the furniture via the service lift, we avoided the need for parking permits on the busy main road.
• Terrace Clearance on Oldham Road: We handled a full house clearance for a property on a steep hill. Because the job involved heavy cellar clearance, we managed it safely by using a two-man team to carry items up the steps, sparing the owner the physical strain.
