What We Clear
We offer a total clearance solution, removing all non-structural items therefore leaving the property ready for sale or letting.
Full Contents: Sofas, wardrobes, beds, carpets, curtains, kitchenware as well as ornaments.
“Hidden” Areas: We clear lofts, cellars and under-stairs cupboards.
Exterior: We dismantle dilapidated sheds, clear overgrown garden waste and empty garages.
Our Process
We have refined our process over 25 years to be as smooth and unintrusive as possible.
1. Assessment: Call us for a chat or send a video walk-through via WhatsApp to 07802 860 731. Also, we provide a fixed, transparent quote.
2. The Clear: Our uniformed team arrives in a tracked vehicle. After that, we work systematically, room-by-room and follow WEEE Recycling protocols for all electric’s.
3. The Clean: Once the furniture is gone, we sweep the property, therefore leaving it “Vacant & Broom Clean,” ready for the estate agent’s photos.
4. Ethics: We are committed to a high Landfill Diversion Rate. Where possible, our team donates usable furniture to local charities, while recycling the remainder at licensed transfer stations.
Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide
Our pricing is transparent and 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 removing a specific large item like a piano or American fridge freezer alongside a clearance.
Quarter Van Load: Roughly 20-30 bin bags. Perfect for clearing a box room or a small cellar.
Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards (approx. 50-60 bin bags). Comparable to a standard builders’ skip, but we do the loading.
Full Van Load: 12–14 cubic yards. Also, it’s equivalent to roughly 2 x standard 8-yard skips. It’s suitable for full house clearances.

Typical Jobs in Wigan
We know Wigan’s layout well, from the mining terraces to the semi-rural outskirts.
Probate Clearance in Ince: We cleared a “back-to-back” terraced property. Because skip placement would have blocked the rear access road, our “Wait & Load” service was essential to clear the renovation debris and old furniture without causing neighbourhood disputes.
End of Tenancy in Standish: A landlord needed a rapid turnaround on a semi-rural cottage. For example, we removed a garage full of junk and general household waste. Our team completed the bulky waste collection the same day, bypassing the slow council collection routes.
Hoarder Clearance in Leigh: We managed a sensitive clearance in a dense terraced street. The property contained mixed waste. Our team discreetly cleared the property, met all fly-tipping prevention protocols and also swept the backyard clean.
Downsizing in Orrell: We helped a couple move from a large detached home. Also, we cleared the attic and garden shed, carefully separating items for donation to local charity shops, therefore ensuring a sustainable disposal.
