House clearances we do in Harefield

A lot of Harefield’s housing is long-tenured, which is why full-house and probate clearances are the recurring job here rather than single items. The range is wide — cottages around the village green and the High Street, terraces near Harefield Hospital, large detached homes on the lanes out towards Denham and Rickmansworth — and the plan for a clearance starts with which of those it is.

Probate clearances follow the family’s lead. We agree first what stays, what is donated and what should be valued, and anything that looks as if it could matter goes to one side for you to see before it goes anywhere near the van. The house is then cleared room by room, outbuildings and garden included, on the executor’s timetable — around a completion date if the property is being sold.

Longer carries are normal here: gravel drives, side gates and outbuildings on the bigger plots, and narrow lanes with passing places for the van. Clearances are priced by the property — £850 for a full house, £595 for a two-bed home, £395 for a one-bed flat, £195 for a single room — and the larger UB9 properties that fill several loads get one fixed all-in figure after a walk-through.

Hillingdon’s bulky waste collection covers UB9 too: £53 a slot, £39 if you are over 65 and £94 for landlords, and each slot covers up to six items. It collects from the boundary only — out at ground level by 6am, with nothing fetched from a house or an outbuilding — and it refuses garden waste, rubble, building and DIY waste, tyres and hazardous items, which rules out much of what a big Harefield plot produces. Booking is Monday to Friday, on the next free date. For a few ordinary pieces you can get out to the front yourself, it is cheaper than us; our bulky waste guide lists what it takes.

Harefield has the borough’s tip on its doorstep: the Harefield Civic Amenity Site on New Years Green Lane (UB9 6LX), open seven days from 8am to 4pm with last entry at 3.45pm, and closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. It is free with a HillingdonFirst card, but there is no pedestrian access, a van needs two forms of ID and is limited to 12 visits a year, it takes household waste only, and it will not take a tree trunk or a branch thicker than 20cm. If the load fits in your car and you have the card, it is the cheapest answer going. Our Harefield tip guide has the details.

House clearance in Harefield — your questions answered

Can you clear a cottage by the village green? expand_more

Yes — the cottages around the green and the High Street are part of Harefield’s mix. Tell us the address and how the access works when you book, and we will plan where the van can stand.

Do you handle probate clearances in UB9? expand_more

Yes; with so much long-held housing in Harefield, they are the recurring job here. We agree with the family what is being kept before we start, set aside anything that should be valued, and work to the executor’s timetable.

How far can you carry from the house to the van? expand_more

As far as it takes. Gravel drives, side gates and garden outbuildings mean longer carries on the bigger Harefield plots, and we price that honestly from photos rather than springing it on you on the day.

What does a house clearance in Harefield cost? expand_more

A single room is £195, a two-bed home £595 and a full three-bed-plus house £850. The larger UB9 homes, with garaging and outbuildings, run beyond the full-house band and are quoted as one fixed figure after a photo or video walk-through.

Can I take some of it to the tip myself first? expand_more

Yes, and in Harefield it is close: New Years Green Lane is free with a HillingdonFirst card, 8am to 4pm with last entry at 3.45pm. It takes household waste only, and a van is limited to 12 visits a year, so for a whole house the car runs stop paying for themselves quite quickly.

Where we clear houses near Harefield

We are based in Uxbridge (UB8) and cover Harefield seven days a week. As well as UB9 we work across Denham, Ickenham, Northwood, Rickmansworth and Chorleywood, and the lanes in between.

No surprise bills

What the price includes — and what it doesn't

The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.

Included in the price we quote

No line of this is billed separately afterwards.

  • Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
  • The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
  • Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
  • Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
  • VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
  • Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.

Priced separately, or not carried at all

Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.

  • Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
  • Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
  • Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
  • Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.

If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.

Where it actually goes

What happens to your waste after we drive away

Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.

  1. It goes in by hand

    Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.

  2. Sorted, not buried

    The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.

  3. Recovered by material

    Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.

  4. The bit nobody advertises

    Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.

  • Metal
  • Wood
  • Cardboard & paper
  • Textiles
  • Electricals (WEEE)
  • Green waste

We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.

Proof

Proof, not adjectives

Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.

We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
