The Rubbish Removers Ltd provides professional House Clearance in Trafford, offering a compassionate and efficient alternative to skip hire. For example, from large Victorian villas in Sale to gated properties in Hale, our uniformed, two-man teams handle everything. We are a “Which? Trusted Trader” and fully licensed Upper Tier Waste Carrier (CBDU409710), therefore ensuring your property is cleared legally and respectfully.
Unlike the council’s curb-side collection, items are removed from any room, making the service ideal for clearing lofts, cellars, or bereavement properties in Altrincham. Our “Wait & Load” service avoids driveway damage and permit hassles common in Stretford. Where possible, reusable furniture is donated while the rest is recycled responsibly - supporting a high landfill diversion rate.

Ann B.2 July 2026 · Google review
Having never used a house clearance service before I was unsure what to expect. The Rubbish Removers were great. The quotation process was fair and the price I paid was the price I was quoted. The team arrived on time, having confirmed their arrival time a couple of hours earlier. The house was cleared with the minimum of fuss. The house was left in good order with no mess to tidy-up (other than 50+ years of dust). I'd highly recommended The Rubbish Removers if you need a house cleared. 5*!

House Clearance in Trafford – Respectful & Discreet
Organising a House Clearance in Trafford during a sensitive time like probate, a bereavement, or a stressful end-of-tenancy move requires a professional team that handles your property with genuine care. Whether you are clearing a large detached home in Hale with a gated driveway that blocks skip access, or emptying a Victorian villa in Sale ready for sale, we provide a complete property solution. As a fully licensed Upper Tier Waste Carrier (CBDU409710), Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” member and a Which? Trusted Trader, we are the preferred partner for local solicitors and estate agents who need reliable, compliant, and dignified clearance services.
We understand that clearing a home is often more than just removing rubbish; it is about reclaiming space and preparing a property for its next chapter. Our uniformed, family-run team handles everything from clearing cluttered lofts and cellars to dismantling sheds and sweeping up afterwards. You don’t need to worry about the strict entry requirements at Woodhouse Lane tip or hiring a skip that might damage your resin driveway; we provide a “Wait & Load” service that is fast, safe and fully insured. Call our local team on 0161 339 7938 for a free assessment, or WhatsApp images to 07802 860 731 for an immediate response.

The Rubbish Removers vs. “Man & Van” Services
When clearing a full property, cutting corners can lead to legal headaches. Here is how we compare to the average “Man and Van” operator.
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | General Man & Van |
|---|---|---|
| Trust | Which? Trusted Trader (Checked & Endorsed) | Unknown Reputation |
| Insurance | Fully Insured (Public Liability & Employers) | Often Uninsured |
| Scope | Full House (Inc. Lofts, Sheds, Carpets) | Curbside / Easy Items Only |
| Documentation | Full Waste Transfer Notes (Probate Ready) | Cash in Hand / No Paperwork |
| Ethics | Responsible Recycling / Charity Donations | Risk of Fly-tipping |
What We Clear
We offer a total clearance service, removing almost anything from the property as a result leaving it ready for the market:
Full Contents: Sofas, wardrobes, beds, carpets, curtains, kitchenware, books and ornaments.
“Hidden” Areas: We clear lofts, cellars, as well as under-stairs cupboards.
Exterior: We clear garages, dismantle rotten sheds and also remove garden waste.
Appliances: Fridges, freezers, washing machines and old cookers.
Our Process
1. Assessment: We offer a free on-site quotation or a video walk-through for smaller jobs. Give us a call or WhatsApp a photo to 07802 860 731.
2. The Clear: Our uniformed, professional team arrives in a tracked vehicle. After that, we clear the property systematically, room-by-room, ensuring no damage to walls or door frames.
3. The Clean: Once the furniture is gone, we sweep the floors and leave the property “Vacant & Broom Clean,” therefore meeting the standard required by landlords and estate agents.
4. Ethics: We segregate items for reuse. Furniture in good condition is donated to local charities where possible, while the remainder is taken to a licensed transfer station for recycling.

Typical Jobs in Trafford
Probate Clearance in Hale: We cleared a large detached property with a gated driveway. A skip wagon could not fit through the narrow gates, so our “Wait & Load” Luton vans were the only solution. We cleared the entire 5-bedroom home, including a garage full of tools, in two days.
Garden and Shed Clearance in Sale: A homeowner needed a property prepped for sale. After that, we dismantled a rotten shed, cleared overgrown brambles and also removed old patio furniture. Finally, we swept the patio clean to improve the property’s kerb appeal.
Apartment Clearance in Altrincham: We performed an end-of-tenancy clearance on a second-floor apartment. The management company prohibited skips in the car park, so we used our vans to load everything immediately, ensuring the landlord could re-let the property the next day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to be present during the clearance? No. We offer a trusted Key Holder Service. We can collect keys from your solicitor, estate agent, or a key safe, carry out the work, as well as send you “After” photos to confirm the job is done. This is popular for clients handling Probate House Clearance from a distance.
Q: Do you separate valuables or antiques? Yes. We are not just a “junk removal” company. If we find personal items like photographs, legal documents, or jewellery that were missed, we set them aside securely and inform you immediately.
Q: Can you clear extremely cluttered or hoarding properties? Yes. We have extensive experience with sensitive cases. Above all, our team is trained to work with empathy and discretion, helping you navigate the process of clearing a hoarded property at a pace that suits you.
Q: How quickly can you clear a property in Trafford? We can often start within 24–48 hours. In contrast, Trafford Council’s bulky collection can take weeks to arrange and requires you to move items outside. We come inside and clear everything immediately, which is essential if you are completing a sale or ending a tenancy.
Q: Do you donate items to charities in Trafford? Absolutely. We aim to divert as much as possible from landfill. Good quality furniture and white goods are often donated to local charitable partners. We only tip what cannot be reused or recycled.
Q: I don’t live in Trafford, can you clear my relative’s house? Yes. We frequently work with families who live elsewhere but need to clear a property in Altrincham, Sale, or Stretford. We handle all the logistics and provide digital paperwork (Waste Transfer Notes and Invoices) via email.
For a stress-free, respectful clearance, call our family team on 0161 339 7938.
