These guys were great. Only had to book a couple of days in advance, very reasonable quote, and got my furniture cleared and bin emptied. 2 very friendly lads helped me to move it out the house and was able to pay on card too! Would recommend :)

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*!

Professional House Clearance in West Lancashire requires a team that understands both the sensitivity of the task and the local logistics. We are The Rubbish Removers Ltd, a family-run business with over 25 years of experience serving the North West. Whether you are dealing with a bereavement, a probate property, or simply reclaiming space, our uniformed teams handle the entire process with dignity and efficiency. We are fully licensed by the Environment Agency (CBDU409710) and are proud members of the Which? Trusted Traders scheme and the Trading Standards “Buy With Confidence” scheme, giving you complete peace of mind that every item we collect is handled legally and ethically.
For immediate assistance, call our head office on 0161 339 7938 or for a fast quote, WhatsApp a photo of the property to 07802 860 731. We act as the “Emergency Service” for waste, often providing same-day attendance to help you meet completion deadlines or rental turnovers. Unlike standard skip hire, we provide all the labour, meaning we do the heavy lifting, sweeping and sorting, ensuring your property is left empty, clean and ready for the market.

Compassionate Service: We employ trained bereavement pros and hoarding specialists who understand that clearing a home is often an emotional process. For this reason, we work at your pace, offering a respectful and supportive service.
We Handle Everything: Our teams clear every part of the property, including areas that are often difficult to access such as lofts, cellars, garages and dilapidated garden sheds.
Asset Management: We don’t just clear; we care. Our “Valuables Sorted & Secured” promise means we actively look for personal documents, photographs, or antiques, setting them aside to be returned to you.
Key Holder Service: If you cannot be present, we can collect keys from local estate agents or solicitors, complete the work and send you a video update upon completion.

Our House Clearance service is comprehensive. We clear:
Full Contents: Furniture, carpets, curtains, kitchenware, ornaments and general household rubbish.
“Hidden” Areas: we clear lofts, damp cellars as well as cluttered garages.
Exterior: We tackle overgrown gardens, dismantle rotten sheds and remove old fencing to ensure the exterior looks as good as the interior.
1. Assessment: Contact us for a free on-site quotation or conduct a video walk-through via WhatsApp on 07802 860 731. To sum up, we provide a fixed price with no hidden extras.
2. The Clear: The Clear: Our uniformed, professional team arrives in a tracked vehicle. After that, we work systematically, room-by-room, carefully removing items to protect walls and door frames.
3. The Clean: Once the property is empty, we sweep through every room, leaving the property “Vacant & Broom Clean,” as a result ready for sale or letting.
4. Ethics: We operate a high Landfill Diversion Rate. Where possible, items are donated to local charities, while the remainder is recycled at licensed transfer stations.

We offer transparent pricing based on the volume and weight of the items we remove. 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 removing a specific large item like a piano or a heavy wardrobe found during a clear-out.
QUARTER VAN LOAD: For example, roughly 20–30 bin bags perfect for clearing a box room, a small cellar, or the contents of a garden shed.
HALF VAN LOAD: Consequently 6 cubic yards (comparable to a 6-yard skip). Ideal for a garage clearance or a master bedroom clear-out.
FULL VAN LOAD: As much as, 12-14 cubic yards (approx. 2 x standard 8-yard skips). Suitable for full house clearances or large office strip-outs.
Get a Firm Price: Send a photo of the property or rooms to 07802 860731.
Probate Clearance in Rural West Lancashire: We cleared a farmhouse property accessed via narrow rural lanes. For this reason, we used our mobile vans to navigate the tight access where a skip wagon would have struggled, removing decades of accumulated farm and household waste.
Terraced House Clearance in Market Town Centre: A full clearance of a red-brick terrace. We utilised a “Wait & Load” service to work around market day traffic and restricted parking, as a result ensuring no disruption to neighbours.
Modern Estate Renovation Clearance: We cleared renovation debris and old furniture from a property on a new build estate. The owners were restricted by covenants preventing skips on driveways, so our immediate load-and-go service was the perfect Skip Hire Alternative.

We cover the entire borough and surrounding districts, ensuring rapid response times for all our local customers.
Q: Do I need to be present during the clearance? No. We offer a trusted Key Holder Service. We can collect keys from your estate agent or solicitor, carry out the work and keep you updated with photos and calls. We are “Buy With Confidence” members, so you can trust us to work unsupervised.
Q: Do you separate valuables/antiques? Yes. We do not just “smash and grab.” If our team finds personal photos, legal documents, or items of potential value during the clear, we set them aside and inform you immediately.
Q: Can you clear extremely cluttered or hoarding properties? Yes. We have a respectful and empathic team experienced in sensitive hoarding cases. We work discreetly to clear the property while maintaining your privacy.
Q: How quickly can you clear a property in West Lancashire? We often offer same-day or next-day service. In contrast, local council bulky waste collections often have long wait times and strict limits on the number of items. For rental turnovers or probate deadlines, our speed is essential.
Q: Do you donate items to charities? Yes. We prioritise reuse. Where possible, furniture and household goods that are in good condition are donated to local charities. We are committed to a greener future and aim to divert most waste from landfill.
Q: I don’t live in West Lancashire, can you clear my relative’s house? Yes. We frequently work with landlords and families who live elsewhere. We handle the logistics locally and provide you with digital Waste Transfer Notes and video updates so you can manage the process remotely.
